LeGrandElephant June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 (edited) I can't think of a show I've ever watched that has recast a main character. I vaguely recall hearing that Bewitched recast the husband back in the day, but I never watched that. I can think of a few shows I've seen where peripheral characters that aren't seen that often were recast, like Bobby on Mad Men (and they also had the advantage there that little kids do grow and change quickly from year to year, so it didn't stand out as much). I watched Roswell back in the day and I think I remember noticing one of the dads was recast between the pilot and a later season, but wasn't on screen much. But I can't think of any show I've been watching where a main character who's in every episode was recast. I'm not sure I'll be able to take it seriously, if its just clearly a different person that they're all calling Jesus. They have enough characters, why not just leave him at boarding school?

possibilities June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 I didn't watch Roseanne when it originally aired, but I binged it in repeats (multiple episodes a day every day of the week til I got through the entire series); they recast one of the daughters, who had as prominent a role as Jesus. I got used to it pretty quickly. I think it might even be easier than with a peripheral character, because the actor gets familiar through lots of contextual exposure that reminds you who they are, where with an occasional player there are fewer anchors to remind you. Hopefully, the new actor will be really good at what he does, and the stories they give him will be compelling enough that the transition is worth it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3845-the-fosters-in-the-media/page/3/#findComment-1259088

Featherhat June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Neither was Jake T Austin. ABC Family have often picked up ex Disney stars so its nothing new. I think it is theoretically preferable than for Jesus to just never come back from boarding school ala so many 90s characters. Recasting gives them something established to work with rather than "hey we just found this homeless teen who needs a home who is suspiciously similar to a character who just departed. I've seen several regular recastings, although it seems to have happened more when I was younger or watching sitcom reruns. IIRC Fresh Prince recast regulars a couple of times and recurring/guests get replaced all the time even now. I think they probably felt they could get away with it for a secondary regular here.

Jesus had such good storylines that could have built and no girlfriends would have had to be involved. He could have had storylines with Mariana, with Ana, with his ADHD, his schoolwork, even more focus on the wrestling storyline. Anything but what they got.

I understand recasting a main character because in the fresh prince's case, the mom was an important character that you can't just get rid of completely.

paulvdb June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 (edited) Sometimes shows recast a role after the pilot has been filmed. Sometimes they reshoot the scenes from the pilot with the new actor, but there are also shows that air the pilot with the original actor and we see a different actor in the second episode. To connect this to The Fosters, a recent example is Baylee Madison who played the daughter on Trophy Wife after a different actress played the role in the pilot.

RachelKM June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 ^^^^ The un-aired pilot recast is pretty common actually, either because the actor doesn't test well or ends up not being available for the show after pickup. But aired characters of any prominence is not as common. One example that was sort of a hybrid case was the character of Naomi on Private Practice. Merrin Dungey played in the Grey's Anatomy backdoor pilots (technically it was two episodes), but then Audra McDonald played the role when the show aired in the fall. I cannot think of another prime-time drama that has recast series regular off hand, and certainly not this late. But I can't say I mind. Despite the number of episodes Jesus appeared in to date, I cannot say I am especially attached to him.

Because he has no problems and issues himself and should always be the one to say no and make the right choice. So really, nothing new. And seems to me Brandon did do the equivalent of Jude's supporting Connor leaving when he told Callie this is what she needed or whatever the line was, when they were looking out at the family and when he sat in the courtroom and said nothing about what they did and allowed her to be adopted.
