The whole situation was fucked up.

While it was originally believed that he had left the series due to insufficient pay, Yost later revealed in a 2010 interview that he left because he could no longer handle harassment by members of the production crew who targeted him over his sexual orientation. According to Yost, he was often called a (redacted), and the producers frequently questioned other cast members in private about his sexuality. Yost left late in the fourth season after a week of contemplation and thoughts of suicide instead of continuing work another six months into the second film. He stated that the co-workers involved with writing, filming, and producing the show considered him "not worthy" to be where he was and that he "could not be a superhero" because of his homosexuality.[4][5]
Scott Page-Pagter, a producer of the show starting with Power Rangers Zeo,[6] responded through TMZ that Yost actually left over a pay bonus being dropped but did not elaborate further or dispute any of Yost's claims about the outside reasons for leaving the show. Saban Entertainment made no official statement regarding the subject.[7] After Yost left the show, he attempted to change his sexual orientation with conversion therapy for two years. Eventually, he had a nervous breakdown that resulted in his psychiatric hospitalization for five weeks. After he checked out, he moved to Mexico for a year and eventually accepted his sexuality.[5]

I feel so bad for him. It sounds like they were awful to him.

Bryan Cranston was a voice actor on the show. So Billy's character was named after him.

Well there was that early S1 episode with Madame Woe where he bumped into a girl named Marge and they later went on a date at the end, but she never appeared again. Then he reason for leaving the group at the end of Zeo is he had fallen in love with a female from Aquitar.

I heard rumors that Jason David Frank aka Tommy Oliver bullied David. Don't know how true that is, if at all.

I follow JDF on Facebook, like him and all but he's had some really douchey moments that made me question what type of person he is. There was one time that he made big deal out of the fact that he couldn't wear his hat in this upscale restaurant and made a scene about it apparently. Dude got mad that the place had a dress code and some fans even called him out on it. Then there's the whole "feud" with CM Punk that he had for some reason..he couldn't stop mentioning Punk for quite awhile despite Punk not saying much to him at all.
