“He doesn’t want to hide away”: BTS News on Disney-Jared Leto Tension After Allegations From 9 Women
Image
Disney finds itself in hot water after Jared Leto, the lead star of the upcoming movie, Tron: Ares, faced accusations of s*xual misconduct. The studio is reportedly currently engaged in “crisis talks” to determine a promotional strategy amidst the disturbing allegations.

Nine women, including model Laura La Rue, accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior, including flirting with teenagers. The report from Air Mail came out on June 7, and the actor denied the claims by these women. His representatives claimed that the “communications contain nothing s*xual or inappropriate” (via THR).

While there are no charges or civil suits filed against the Suicide Squad actor, the serious allegations could impact his image and the release of his film, Tron Ares. Disney’s marketing team is reportedly concerned about the film’s proportion. According to a source, the team had planned a major panel for the film at the upcoming...

Family Matters And Full House's Crossover Was Sitcom Gold
Image
Crossover events have been a common staple in television for decades, giving viewers an opportunity to witness some of their favorite characters from different shows interacting with each other, often to hilarious effect. You can read /Film's selection of the best crossover episodes here. Usually, crossovers are often a chance for networks to promote brand synergy, and in some cases me be a ploy to get a boost in ratings.

How Much Does The Home From Full House Cost?
Image
From 1987 to 1995, ABC's family sitcom "Full House" entertained audiences with its exploration into the lives of the Tanner family household led by widower Danny Tanner (Bob Saget). Danny raised his three daughters, D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) in his titular full house in San Francisco, CA. Throughout the series' eight-year run, the Tanner household grows larger, as does the property value of the house itself.

Over 20 years after the original series' conclusion, Netflix's "Fuller House" caught viewers up with the Tanners' lives in the 21st century, with the now-grown-up widowed mother D.J. raising her three sons with the help of her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Premise sure sounds familiar, huh? Well, given the timeless nature of family-related sitcoms,...

Image
Full Housestar Candace Cameron Bure, who plays D.J. Tanner in the show and the sequel Fuller House, has recently spoken out about the sitcom’s huge success. Every season of Full Housefocuses on the Tanner family: children D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, their widowed father, Danny, their uncle Jesse, and family friend Joey. Together, the group causes all manner of chaos and hilarity, and their wholesome escapades are the reason Full House is one of the most notable sitcoms of all time.

In a recent episode of the Hey Dude... The 90s Called! podcast (via EW), hosted by Christine Taylor and David Lascher, Cameron Bure acknowledges Full House’s popularity as a sitcom, and what about it made it such a success:

Jared Leto’s Odd Confession About Women Years Before Latest Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Jared Leto has always maintained an air of mystery both on-screen and off. Known for his transformative roles and rockstar persona, the Suicide Squad actor has also made headlines for his often-speculated love life. Over the years, Leto has been romantically linked to a long list of A-list names, including Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Olsen, and Katy Perry.

But of all his rumored romances, his relationship with Russian model Valery Kaufman may have been his most enduring, albeit low-key. The two were first spotted together in 2015 during Leto’s Suicide Squad filming days in New York. While rarely seen in public, they appeared to maintain an on-and-off relationship over the years. Amid all the speculations about his personal life, Leto managed to keep everything under wraps.

'He Was So Proud': Full House's Andrea Barber Recalls Bob Saget's Reaction to Surprising Fan Encounter

Full Housewas so beloved that the sitcom, which ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995, spawned a spinoff in Netflix’s Fuller House.The latter ran for an additional five seasons and brought back nearly all the original cast, including Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who now host a rewatch podcast called How Rude, Tanneritos!.

Sweetin played middle daughter Stephanie Tanner in Full House, while Barber was the annoying neighbor, Kimmy Gibbler, who was also best friends with Candace Cameron Bure’s D.J. Tanner. While some would argue that the younger actors were the stars of the show, particularly Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Michelle and siblings, the series was led by the likes of John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and the late Bob Saget. Saget passed away in 2022 at the age of 65.

Austin Nichols Says Filming Kiss With 15-Year-Old Mary-Kate Olsen “Felt Wrong”
Austin Nichols
Austin Nichols has spoken about a moment from early in his acting career that he now views with discomfort. While appearing on the Drama Queens podcast, Nichols described his experience filming a kiss scene with then-15-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen in the 2001 teen movie Holiday in the Sun, saying the situation felt inappropriate at the time.

“I was definitely nervous because Mary-Kate was 15, and I was, I think, 18 or 19, or maybe even 20,” Nichols said. “I don’t remember, but I was too old, and it felt weird, and it felt wrong.”

He explained that although the characters appeared age-compatible on screen, he remained aware of the age difference while filming. “I looked very young, so watching the movie, I don’t think you notice. I’m real tall and skinny and, like, nerdy, but I don’t think you can tell there’s a big age difference. But for my brain,...

Elizabeth Olsen & Husband Robbie Arnett Visit Bookstore in Studio City

Elizabeth Olsen is enjoying a rare day out with her husband.

The 36-year-old WandaVision actress and her husband Robbie Arnett stopped by a local bookstore to find some new reads on Friday afternoon (April 4) in Studio City, Calif.

For their outing, Elizabeth wore a gray turtleneck sweater and baggy tan pants while the 33-year-old musician sported a navy windbreaker over a blue T-shirt paired with jeans and baseball hat.

Five Sitcoms That Introduced a New Cute Kid When the Original Cute Kid Got Too Old
Image
Being a kid on a sitcom is tough. If you manage to dodge addiction issues and kleptomaniacal parents, one thing will still always be gunning for you: Father Time. When sitcoms center around a family with at least one young child, a decent percentage of its humor usually comes from the young kid saying impossibly pithy lines crafted by adults.

But as the kid gets older, they often get less cute and their character is forced to change. So, where do all those snarky remarks and cutesy moments go? The solution is usually the same: bring in a brand-new cute kid regardless how much shoe-horning you need to do.

It’s happened a lot in sitcoms — like, dozens of them — but here are five of the best examples...

George R.R. Martin Hates Elizabeth Olsen’s Twin Sisters but She Gave Her All to Land a Role in Game of Thrones

George R.R. Martin is a man of many feuds, unfinished books vs. his writing pace, fans vs. their patience, and apparently, George vs. the Olsen twins. Yes, you read that right.

The legendary mind behind Game of Thrones holds an unexpected and hilariously petty grudge against Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Who knew that Westeros’ greatest nemesis wasn’t the White Walkers but rather two adorable sitcom stars from Full House?

George R.R. Martin in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert | Credits: YouTube

While the elder Olsens were out there unintentionally tormenting Martin’s TV career, their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, had her own hilarious run-in with the Game of Thrones universe. Unlike her twin sisters, she wasn’t out to ruin Martin’s success, she was actually hoping to be part of it. But let’s just say her audition didn’t exactly go the way she had hoped.

1 Major Tommy Trait in Fuller House Has a Hilarious Real-Life Reason Most Fans Don't Know

Fuller Housewas a Netflix original series that ran for five seasons. The show was essentially a "where are they now?" for fans of Full House. D.J.

10 Funniest Full House Episodes, Ranked
Image
Full House is arguably one of the funniest sitcoms to grace the curved TV screens of the 1980s and '90s. The Tanner family and friends are remembered for more than their heartwarming moments. Thanks to Joey's goofy antics, Michelle's catchphrases, Kimmy Gibbler's mishaps, and laugh-out-loud comedic deliveries, this show will forever live in the sitcom Hall of Fame.

Full House fans may watch and re-watch this beloved series for nostalgia, but they will always treasure it for its delightful humor. The average sitcom relies on the comedic strengths of two to three main characters, while the side characters tend to only fill in with dialogue as needed. What makes Full House great is that every single cast member, including those who only make occasional appearances, is brilliantly funny each time and in their own individual way.

‘Full House’ Alums Don’t Know Why the Show Barely Mentioned the Tanner Girls’ Dead Mother

Considering the death of Pam Tanner kicked off the plot of Full House, why did the ABC sitcom ignore her absence for most of its eight-season run? Fans don’t know why, and, as it turns out, cast members Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) and Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) don’t either. Barber and Sweetin discussed Pam’s short shrift during the February 20 “minisode” of their podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos!, as they reacted to Reddit users’ complaints about Full House. And one of the quibbles is that the show hardly mentioned Pam. As fans know, Pam welcomed daughters D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie, and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) with husband Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) and died in an automobile accident before the events of Season 1.

Dylan O’Brien, ‘Twinless’ Director James Sweeney on ‘Helpful’ Intimacy Coordinators and the Influence of the Olsen Twins
Image
[Warning: This story contains mild spoilers for “Twinless,” which premiered on Thursday at Sundance Film Festival.]

Dylan O’Brien reveled in the process of playing dual roles in “Twinless,” a twisted comedic drama about two friends who meet in a support group for people who lost a twin. The “Maze Runner” and “Teen Wolf” star portrays identical brothers Rocky, who unexpectedly dies, and Roman, who is left to navigate the unbearable grief without his other half.

“The twins were so distinct on the page. I felt such a different connectivity to each of them. That came really naturally,” O’Brien says at the Variety Studio presented by Audible. “For me, it’s very physical. Once the process kicks into full gear with costumes, hair and makeup and the things that [director] James [Sweeney] and I discussed in terms of walk, talk and posture, that helps me.”

Dylan O’Brien-Starrer ‘Twinless’ Wins Over Sundance on Opening Night Despite Audio Glitch

Sundance Director Eugene Hernandez was first to the stage inside the Eccles Center Theatre as he kicked off the festivities with some official announcements and thank-yous before welcoming Sweeney and O’Brien to the stage to introduce their years-in-the-making collaboration. And their comments telegraphed that while the film offered a seemingly dark premise — two young men meet in a twin bereavement support group and form an unlikely bromance — Thursday night proved to be anything but a downer.

Why Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Disappeared From Hollywood
Image
If you're of a certain age, you basically grew up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the twins who took Hollywood by storm from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s. After getting their start on an uber-popular sitcom, the twins were known for their films, many of which brought them all over the world, and it certainly seemed like they were on the brink of forming an enormous entertainment empire. Then, the two basically disappeared from the entertainment industry and shifted their focus to something completely different: high fashion.

So, why aren't the two acting anymore, and what are they doing today? More specifically, why did they leave Hollywood behind for a brand new journey ... and did any of their family members take their place on the big and small screen? (The answer to that last one is yes, actually.) Here's everything we know about the world-famous Olsen twins, why they stopped acting,...

10 Best Movie Performances By One Actor Playing Twins

Ever since the invention of splicing and clever camera trickery, there have been instances of utilizing the same actor to portray a set of twins in film. Some talented twins have played the roles individually, notably Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Tia and Tamera Mowry. However, sometimes, it's even more exciting when the roles are played by just one person. This allows the actor to showcase their varied abilities and gives audiences an extra layer of excitement as they try and figure out just how the directors were able to pull off the switch.

What's also interesting is that, quite often, these two twins represent very different types of people. Whether one is more creative and the other more logical, one very privileged and the other having to face more disadvantages, or even one good, one evil, there are countless tropes that get to be explored.

Although the sisters made their debut on network television, fans felt a strong kinship with the adorable twin sisters that became a larger-than-life Nickolodeon staple. Like twin peers, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Tia and Tamera's names were always mentioned together. For years, the twins starred in television and even movies together, appealing to a youthful demographic. Because their monster television hit, Sister,Sister utilized their first names as their main characters, it was easy for fans to feel like they knew the identical twin sisters born to military parents in Gelnhausen, Germany. As the sisters transitioned to womanhood, it was difficult for some fans to see them as adults as opposed to squeaky-clean teenage girls.

George R.R. Martin Hates Elizabeth Olsen’s Twin Sisters: “This goddamn thing became a hit”

Fuller House: Why John Stamos Is To Blame For The Olsen Twins’ Absence
Image
John Stamos is partly to blame for the Olsen Twins Fuller House absence, due to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's decision to pass on the reunion project in 2016. Netflix released the spin-off sequel to the beloved '80s/'90s family sitcom, Full House, with the main cast all returning — except the Olsen twins in their shared role as Michelle. The youngest Tanner sister was nowhere to be found after Fuller House failed to convince the Olsen twins to join the show. Instead, Kimmy — the Tanners' long-time neighbor — became a lead character in the sequel, effectively taking over Michelle's would-be spot.

Fuller House explained the absence of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen by revealing Michelle was now based in New York running a fashion empire. Michelle was a major draw in the original Full House, and not seeing Danny's youngest daughter throughout Fuller House's five-year run was definitely disappointing. Although the...

The 12 Best Remakes & Revivals Of TV Shows From The 80s, 90s And 2000s
Image
The mere mention of a remake or revival has the potential to strike fear into the heart of any entertainment lover. It evokes nauseating flashbacks of brain-rotting shows like 2008's "Knight Rider" or 2021's "Gossip Girl." That said, it isn't always a bleach-in-the-eye situation. Yes, there are good revivals and remakes of TV shows from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.

While nostalgia often holds back people from seeing the forest through the trees, there are instances when the modernized version of a series proves to be better than the original. Take "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" as a prime example. The sitcom turned Will Smith into a household name and features a legendary theme song, but it isn't often credited among the best sitcoms of all time. By comparison, the reimagined "Bel-Air" flips the focus to the intercharacter drama rather than the situational laughs, coming out a much stronger and resonating program in the end.

There are various reasons why such stars would do that kind of career move whether it's personal life and struggles or simply not wanting to pursue stardom anymore. Let's explore it all below.

Celebrities Who Took Acting Hiatus for Personal Reasons

Some celebrities decided to step back from fame due to personal reasons whether it's to focus on motherhood or having a simple family life without the distraction of stardom.

The most recent example is Cameron Diaz, who decided to take a hiatus from acting after starring in the 2014 remake of Annie to focus on having her own family. She still occasionally made public appearances at events and talk shows from time to time.

Subservience Cast & Character Guide
Image
The sci-fi thriller Subservience explores the chaotic dangers of artificial intelligence and androids, and it counts on the talents of a well-known cast. Sci-fi, horror, and thriller have found a theme in common in recent years thanks to the rise of AI in different areas – and, of course, filmmakers have seized this topic to tell terrifying stories about the pros and cons of AI. Among them is Subservience, directed by S. K. Dale and written by Will Honley, which takes the audience to a near future where technology has advanced to the point of developing lifelike androids powered by AI.

Subservience focuses on Nick’s family after his wife, Maggie, is hospitalized due to an unspecified (but threatening) heart condition. Unable to manage the household on his own, Nick buys an AI android, which they refer to as “sim”, to help him around the house and with his kids while Maggie is in the hospital.

‘SNL’ Hosts It Girl Thanksgiving Featuring A Turkey Strut With Charli Xcx As Victoria Beckham
Image
Saturday Night Live celebrated Thanksgiving with the “it girls” this year.

The sketch revolved around a Thanksgiving dinner featuring the episode’s host Charli Xcx as Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.

It also included Bowen Yang as Marc Jacobs, Chloe Fineman as Julia Fox, Ego Nwodim as Naomi Campbell, Sarah Sherman as Rachel Sennott, Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Heidi Gardner as Cher and Kenan Thompson as Law Roach.

Cher was in charge of doing the cooking, though it soon becomes clear she shouldn’t be trusted in the kitchen once she pours Sprite in the gravy.

And this isn’t any Thanksgiving dinner. Hosted by Marc Jacobs and Julia Fox, this is an event, complete with a fashion show. Instead of a runway, the “it girls” strutted right across the dinner table.

They also told a revisionist history story of Thanksgiving, saying: “When...

Full House star, Dave Coulier reveals he is facing a devasting diagnosis “head-on” after the life-altering news. He is still looking at the glass “as half full,” but struggling through the new challenges.

The popular 90s sitcom was enjoyable for many people who tuned in religiously to watch Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen team up. Danny was raising his daughters unconventionally with the help of Uncle Jesse and funny-man, Uncle Joey. Undoubtedly, they captured many hearts with their portrayal of sticking together through thick and thin. However, now Dave has received crushing news in his real life that he has cancer.

I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! 7 Stars Who Never Want to Play Their Iconic Roles Again

Don’t ask these actors to show up for the sequel! MEGAColin Farrell – 'The Penguin'mega

The HBO spinoff series of The Batman movie was arduous for the 48-year-old, between the prosthetics, fat suit and darkness he needed to play the villain.

"By the end of it, I was b------- and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f------ wanted it to be finished," Colin Farrell recently said of being reluctant to do a second season. "Maybe in a year, I would. But when I finished I was like, ‘I never want to put that f------ suit and that f------ head on again.'"

Kristen Wiig – 'Bridesmaids'mega

It's not happening! One out-of-control poop scene was enough for 51-year-old Kristen Wiig, who shut the door on making a part two to the rowdy flick.

"It wasn't a hard decision," said the Saturday Night Live vet, who co-wrote the movie with Annie Mumolo.

Brady Bunch Reboot Was Reportedly Canceled for Susan Olsen's Hate Speech Not Trump Support
Image
CBS Studios has officially axed another reboot of The Brady Bunch, and Cindy Brady actress Susan Olsen is supposedly taking the blame. According to Olsen, the studio disliked her conservative opinions and support for Donald Trump but some sources are arguing that the cancelation was actually due to a hateful tirade from Olsen that included homophobic slurs and offensive language.

The newest Brady Brunch project was tentatively in the works two years ago, but had not been picked up by networks or streaming services, and it's unclear if a script was ever written. The revival would have focused on the lives of the original Brady Bunch children as they navigated adulthood, but unfortunately never came to fruition due to Olsen's comments. Appearing on the Walk Away Campaign podcast, Olsen reported that she had been fired from the role by CBS due to her political beliefs, stating, "I did have a...

Elizabeth Olsen’s Sister Act
Image
Death has been on Elizabeth Olsen’s mind lately. It started — or, rather, became much more acute — on a recent helicopter ride. The actress was on an East Coast press tour for her new movie, His Three Daughters, and Netflix scheduled a junket day in New York City, followed by a screening out in the Hamptons. The tight turnaround meant that Olsen, her co-star Natasha Lyonne and a studio rep had only one way to get there in time.

“I’ll never do it again,” she says. “It was 45 minutes straight of me creating a narrative about how I’m going to die.” As she’s telling this story, she divulges that, actually, she thinks about her own death all the time. The notion of the chopper hurtling over greater Long Island takes its place in line behind car accidents and random acts of violence.

“Whenever I’m stopping at a red light,...

Fuller House: Michelle Died In Full House Theory Explained
Image
Fuller House floated the idea that Michelle is already dead, but the youngest Tanner daughter may have never had the chance to grow up at all, as she could've actually died in the original Full House finale. Played alternately by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Michelle Tanner was one of the fan-favorite characters from the late '80s/early '90s family sitcom. So, many were understandably disappointed when she didn't show up in Fuller House.

Refusing to recast Michelle, Fuller House was forced to come up with an excuse to explain her absence. Since the Full House franchise put a lot of emphasis on the importance of family, the sequel had to find a justifiable excuse for Michelle not coming back home while all of this was happening. The producer mined inspiration from the Olsen Twins' real-life job, revealing that their sitcom character is now based in New York where she runs her fashion empire.

“That sucked”: Elizabeth Olsen Sacrificing One of Her Favorite Scripts for Avengers: Age of Ultron Was the Career-Defining Moment She Desperately Needed

Elizabeth Olsen’s career soared high after she starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff. The actress, who had been working on independent movies before her stint in the comic book movie empire, expressed regret about turning down a project she loved because of her commitment to Marvel Studios.

Credits: Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision / Disney+

Understandably, she might feel like she missed out on many things. She played the mutant role from 2015 to 2022, and seven years would have given her more than enough time to explore many film genres and projects.

Elizabeth Olsen Left A Yorgos Lanthimos Movie To Join the MCU

Before she became the Scarlet Witch, actress Elizabeth Olsen was known as the youngest sister of the famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both successful actresses during the ‘90s and early 2000s. The Marvel star lived in the shadow of her siblings until she forged her own path towards stardom.

Dexter: All 5 Actors Who Played Harrison Morgan

In Dexter, the titular serial killer has a biological son named Harrison Morgan, and while Dexter's kid has appeared in every season of the show since season 4, including the sequel Dexter: New Blood, several actors have played him. At the end of season 4, Harrisons mother, Rita (Julie Benz), is murdered, and he is left to be raised by his serial killer father. In the Dexter series finale, a slightly older Harrison is left in the care of Dexter's love interest and fellow killer Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski), who raises him in Argentina after Dexter is presumed dead.

Harrison Morgan (Jack Alcott) shows back up in Dexter: New Blood season 1 and reconnects with his dad. Now, Harrison has a mixture of cold indifference, teenage angst, and simmering violence lurking beneath the surface. Unfortunately Dexter: New Blood ends with Harrison killing his father, as he realizes Dexter fits Harry's code. There were two Harrison Morgan recasts,...

5 reasons Tia Mowrys next act could be a huge mistake
Image
Tia and Tamera Mowry are Hollywood royalty. When you see Tia or her twin sister you automatically expect the project to be done with class and substance. Their entertainment careers have managed to hold them in the highest regard with roles that celebrate strength and are usually empowering in some way. The adorable twin sisters grew up on the comedy sitcom Sister,Sister, earning them a die-hard fan base and a huge piece of the pop culture pie. One of the biggest differences between Tia and Tamera and other child stars such as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen was the idea that Sister,Sister cast Tia and Tamera's characters using their government names. This gave audiences a different form of familiarity with the sisters. It felt as if audiences really got to know Tia and Tamera through the lens of their characters. That familiarity could've proven to be a burden to the sisters,...

10 Shows That Changed Main Cast Members After the Pilot
Image
While it is not as common in today's streaming era, during the golden age of network TV, pilot episodes were used to pitch a show to network executives. These pilots would often be filmed months before the rest of the series, allowing time for showrunners to make the changes and adjustments needed to satisfy the higher-ups. These changes are usually script rewrites, costume redesigns, and sometimes even casting changes.

It was common for pilot episodes to be filmed and then recast if the executives felt a certain actor wasn't fitting in with the rest of the ensemble. Sometimes, actors are offered other roles and decide to leave the series after filming the pilot. Sometimes, these pilots would be reshot with a new actor, and other times, the character would mysteriously change appearance in between the first and second episodes.

"Fans Are Going To Lord This Over Me": Full House Star Reflects On Kimmy's Family Retcon In Netflix Sequel Series
Image
Andrea Barber admits she was nervous about introducing Kimmy's family in Fuller House, fearing fan backlash and questions. Despite micro-continuity issues, Fuller House solidified Kimmy as a Tanner family member, elevating her from a supporting role. By embracing Kimmy as part of the Tanner family, the Netflix sequel allowed for unique storylines and character development.

Kimmy Gibbler actor Andrea Barber admits to being wary of the fan backlash from retconning the family aspect of her character in Fuller House. Four years since the Fuller House finale on Netflix, the family sitcom remains a comfort show on the platform thanks to its nostalgic storytelling and subject. With that comes a couple of podcasts looking back at the Full House franchise's history, allowing people involved in both shows to reveal new information about their respective characters. That's exactly the case when Barber recently addressed a major change to her character in the Netflix sequel spinoff.

10 TV Character Recasts That Couldn't Match The Original Actors
Image
Recasting pivotal TV show characters can lead to a noticeable shift in the tone and dynamic of the series. Characters like grandmothers or matriarchs benefit from consistency, making recasting more challenging. Audiences tend to respond poorly to changes in casting, especially for iconic roles on long-running shows.

When an actor decides it's time to leave a TV show, this might leave the creative team with the impossible task of finding a new performer to replace them. Depending on how long an actor has been on a series, this could be a huge change to the show's character dynamic, and it might mean that audiences will notice a distinct shift in the tone and style of the story. While there have been some instances when the replacement actor's performance went on to be considered the definitive version, in most cases, the original actors are the best.

Conversely, shows with episodic formulas...
