Austin, Walter and Thuy were taken off the show in season 2 because they wanted to the show to become union, they felt the show was really successful and they weren't getting paid enough, the hours were too long, etc. IMO, they just wanted a fair work environment.
The general reason the actors came back (ASJ in Zeo and FR, Walter in FR, JYB, etc.) was that they maintained good relationships with the producers of the show like Koichi Sakamoto and Johnathan Tzachor, so they either came back as a favor or because it was a paycheck. Saban is notorious for being cheap and maintaining bad relationships with his actors, and it has hurt him (not financially, the guys still rich), the 20th Anniversary Mega War is going to be a complete bust, most of the actors won't consider doing the show because it's still non-union or they feel they aren't getting enough respect. They got a weird mixed bag of Rangers, but it's absolutely not the big 20th anniversary fans deserve
