David Gallagher, known for his role as Simon Camden in the popular TV show '7th Heaven,' made a surprising appearance at the recent 90s Con event. The now 39-year-old actor looked quite different, sporting a bald head and a full beard. Gallagher, who has stepped away from acting to focus on being a stay-at-home dad to his six-year-old daughter, joined his former co-stars Beverly Mitchell, Catherine Hicks, Barry Watson, and Mackenzie Rosman for a cast reunion at the convention in Hartford, Conn.
Despite not actively pursuing acting anymore, Gallagher expressed his excitement at reuniting with his old castmates. The group shared their joy and nostalgia on social media, with Mitchell posting a collage of photos from the event on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the reunion.
The cast members reminisced about their time on '7th Heaven,' even poking fun at memorable moments from the show, such as the episode where Hicks' character shockingly revealed her past marijuana use. While Jessica Biel, who played Mary Camden, was absent from the reunion, the group connected with her via FaceTime, emphasizing the strong bond they share.
Notably missing from the reunion was Stephen Collins, who portrayed the family patriarch on the show. In 2014, Collins admitted to inappropriate behavior involving minors, leading to his exclusion from the event.
'7th Heaven' was a long-running drama that aired for 10 seasons on the WB network from 1996 to 2006 before concluding with a final season on the CW in 2007. The series revolved around the Camden family, led by Reverend Eric Camden, a Protestant minister, and his wife raising their seven children in California.
