Thanks to the reno-show, the entire surviving cast came back together. For the first time in 15 years, the cast that portrayed the younger Bradys recently reunited, and on good terms.Įve Plumb and Maureen McCormick joined their co-stars for the beginning of HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation, per ET. Olsen told that her on-screen siblings did not get along, though there is positive news on that front. Susan Olsen, who played Marcia and Jan’s younger sister Cindy, confirmed the behind-the-scenes fallout in 2015.

In real life, however, issues also came up between their portrayers. There are few fictional sibling rivalries more famous than Marcia and Jan's, even if Marcia seemed largely disaffected by how she made her younger sister feel.

Here is what Williams had to say in response: On Barry Williams' blog The Greg Brady Project, he responded to a fan question about how the cast received actor Robbie Rist, who played Oliver. As tensely received as he was by fans, things were not much better behind the scenes. The idea was to bring in a younger kid amid the ever-growing cast of Brady siblings. The story was that the Bradys had to take care of him while his parents were living out of the country. One of television's most controversial characters in history, Carol's nephew (and her children's cousin) Oliver was introduced in Season 5.
