This video from Karen Ashley, better known to fans as “Aisha,” the second Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger, confirms that she will not be participating in Super Megaforce filming due to insufficient actor pay & the inordinate travel expense related to New Zealand filming.
In addition, Matt Austin (Bridge from SPD) has commented on the same video with the unfortunate suggestion that NONE of the Disney-era cast has received invitations from Saban, meaning he & many others will also not be back.

Hey, guys! I haven't seen anyone else mention this and I'm new to the forum, but I'm pretty sure that means it gets a News Thread.
So Karen Ashley (Yellow Mighty Morphing Ranger Season 2-3) has rejected the offer to come back for Super Megaforce because, surprise, surprise, Saban didn't offer her enough money.

Really, Saban's stinginess is becoming a problem. Karan Ashley explains that she'd love to do it for the fans, but she can't be put in a position where she'd actually be losing money by coming down. Would've loved for her to return, as she probably got the most screwed over in MMPR and she deserved another chance, in my opinion.
Saban just keeps screwing us all over. He could've atleast bought us dinner first.
This...is...BULL!
hey saban can you come here please? Oh i'm not going to hurt you i just want you to take a look at this bat to see if it can swing properly.
Wait, but don't we know for a fact that the Red Jungle Fury Ranger is back?
Well if the no-Disney thing is true, then that's by far the worst news we've gotten about Super Megaforce. That is absolutely shit.
Time Force, SPD, Mystic Force and RPM are the best Power Rangers seasons and only one of those is Saban. I can't believe an anniversary of Power Rangers history would just ignore the majority of its history and characters. That's beyond crap.
I want someone from SPD!!!!!!! I guess they could try for Kelson (Boom), Barnie (Piggy), John (Doggie), or Michelle (Kat). Honestly, though, the Disney era casts should be the easiest to get since they're in New Zealand already. I'm guessing Saban's stinginess really is the reason more actors aren't returning...the New Zealand actors are, arguably, more talented (just look at the resume of the RPM cast) so it's possible they can't fathom what meager scraps Saban could be offering. Can you blame the actors for not wanting to return?
I understand the show has a budget and you can't get back everyone...but seriously? No Disney casts? AT ALL? This is exactly what I said I had been fearing all along, that this anniversary is just one desperate attempt to remind the mainstream audience, "Hey! Remember MMPR? We were wildly popular once even though the plots were not as sophisticated as in later seasons!"
The only other thing I saw Eka Darville star in after RPM was Spartacus: Blood and Sand and he was the prison bitch. He was literally in the middle of being butt-sexed when I told all in attendance that he used to be a Power Ranger. Oh, how we laughed.
But yeah, all this behind the scenes gossip has really soured the potential of the series for me. I'll still buy the toys because they're Gokaigers dammit but I doubt I'll watch the show.
