Will Weir be recast?

[Mitchell82]

Ever see episode one of the prequils? Seriously how many times can an annoying kid accidentally save the day? :-p

Yes I have and I actually love it though episode II is better.

What is that topic you speak of?

This is sign of bad management.
Keeping Tori Higginson would have HELPED not hurt the show.
That the show runners couldn't see this makes me wonder exactly WHAT they are thinking.
I think that too many cast changes and no coherent storyline will bring this show (and the franchise) to a rapid end.

I agree with you cocytus. This is just my opinion, but if tptb never offed Elizabeth and Carson there wouldn't be what in my eyes could only be called a fandom implosion. The cast changes are enough; the last thing we need is to switch Weir's actress. Because, for lots of us Torri was the only Weir we ever knew and she is too well in her role to be replaced.

I may not have much faith in TPTB, but I'm pretty sure they aren't imbecilic enough to replace Weir's actress AGAIN, especially not with the original actress. That's beyond wishy-washy and into full-blown lobotomized desperation.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did replace her. Its not a choice I would agree with, but tptb are capable of doing it. At this rate they could use a nice lobotomy IMO

They're not going to recast Weir.

JM has mentioned that they're revising the script now that Torri is no longer part of it, which obviously means that they're working Weir out of the script. If they're just going to recast Weir, then there would be no need to change the script at all.

I agree ,PG15 .
I didn't think they'd go that route ,but it's good to know they won't !

Good point.

figured that.

my instinct is that a new character will show up, possessing weir's memories since the reps do that whole 'learning by osmosis' thing (the hive mind sharing bit)

that'd be the easiest all around, and, if they want to, add some angst cause this potential new rep could address any unhandled issues - like saying good bye, etc.

Most likely.

A draw to that beloved key demographic?
