I think it's probably due to budget cuts, they only use the actors when they really need them. Also, Shawn Pyfrom is no longer a series regular so I'm sure they're trying to cut back his appearances and make them more notable when he does appear, and Kathryn Joosten bitched about the show so her absences are probably the backlash.
