Dana appeared on the show until 1984. During that year, she got pregnant by her boyfriend, rock musician Lanny Lambert. The producers of Different Strokes did not feel that a pregnancy would fit the wholesome image of Kimberly Drummond, so Plato was let go from the show. Although rumors of drug use and other "problems on the set" swirled around her dismissal, the producers were ardent that the pregnancy was the only reason Plato's character was written out. Dana actually returned for several appearances during the show's final season, buttressing the argument that she left on good terms.

Ela própria admitiu beber e usar drogas como recreação durante seus anos em Minha família é uma Bagunça. Em 1988, a mãe adotiva de Plato, Kay, morreu de uma enfermidade do sangue. Logo depois disso, sua relação com Lambert começou a se desgastar, durando pouco tempo.
