Yeah, around the release of the film there was a lot of discussion about that. There were users on the GB reddit that swore they knew of a deleted scene between Callie and Janine in Spinner’s, where they would have talked over some of Callie’s backstory. While that may not be true, such a scene could have been informative.
I wouldn’t read anything into that, there were a lot of claimed insider scoops that cropped up on sites like Reddit that were never proven to be legit. One such bit of baseless claim was that the 1984 Ghostbusters would appear in Times Square in Ghostbusters: Answer The Call when Rowan time-warped the area.
Nah, I don’t put much stock in it. I just brought it up as an example of all the speculation that took place surrounding her backstory being trimmed. It’s true that most Reddit claims are unreliable. The only GB-related outlier that I can think of was when that Stantz1984 guy spoiled Answer the Call prior to its release.

That was disappointing. Even if they weren’t ready to release the scenes with the original cast, there were still a few others they could have put on there. At least Frozen Empire gave us a pretty good selection.
