Just that she reminded him too much of her brother. Which is why they broke up, it was silly that he was mad over the way she treated her brother when he hated him so much.
Maybe Beth's father could have popped up alive. The implication was that he was killed in Vietnam, that they were never married. Maybe...they were married and still are! Maybe he has PTSD and she feels obligated to take care of him. Lots of ways they could have gone.
If they were planning to do something like that, including casting a new character, and Stewart was whining about the story, I would think that was a very good reason to boot him.
It's really kind of absurd that Lillian was one of the longest-running characters and they never did a deep dive into her past. It felt like they tacked Calla and Jessie on to Lillian because she had no family and they had to connect them to someone.
SInce Mike had no connection to either Beth or Lujack, I can't image what that was going to be, but maybe they had something up their sleeve, some big reveal.
