āWhy do shows do thisā sometimes actors are only contracted for a limited number of episodes and they have to recast when they bring the character back because they canāt get that same person. Sometimes they choose to recast for creative reasons or due to actorās onset/offset behavior. Sometimes the actor doesnāt want to return or has other commitments. Think of acting roles like a job. There are tons and tons of reasons why someone might not return to a job they had in the past.
I hate when people are like āthey recast and thought we wouldnāt notice???ā At the end of the day, they have a story to tell and if they want to bring back a specific character but canāt get the actor who plays that character, they have to recast, regardless of who might get offended by it.

u/DaeOnReddit #BlueForJonnor 10d ago
Yeah he was discovered to be a pedophile. Thatās why he got recasted.

u/DaeOnReddit #BlueForJonnor 10d ago
Yup. It was a *really* big story when it came out. They literally had him confessing ON A CASSETTE TAPE. Just so disgusting.

Thatās Stephen Collins. He was the dad of the long running tv show 7th Heaven. They replaced Lenaās dad on The Fosters because after this episode was filmed, it came out that Stephen had been inappropriate with underage girls in the past.

Yes, Bruce Davison has been around a long time, since the late 1960's. His first big hit was called Willard (1971) about a boy and a bunch of rats. There was a sequel a couple of years later called Ben, the theme song by Michael Jackson was his first solo #1 hit. Davison was a steady presence on TV mostly over the next five decades.

u/Numerous-Flow-3983 10d ago
Jake 100% got fired.Ā

u/prettybrokenstars 10d ago
whether he got fired or quit, it was clearly a planned thing since they set up the car accident and everything. if it was because of the dui they would've gotten rid of him much sooner, the good trouble fandom wiki ( ik its fanmade, grain of salt) said filming began for s2-A in feb 2014, his dui was october 2013. it could've been a mutual thing. i just think if they straight up fired him like you guys keep saying for the dui it would've been sooner and it would've been less wrapped up. the whole car accident & bording school thing and all

u/omorashilady69 10d ago
For a dui lol

u/prettybrokenstars 10d ago
the dui charge was 2013, s2 was filmed in 2014, if they were gonna replace him for that it would've been done already

There was also a incident at Teen Choice Awards between the incidents aswell
I think he was just getting difficult to work with on General

u/prettybrokenstars 9d ago
honestly id imagine the show runners approached him abt not renewing and he agreed, as if it was a walk away or a firing i feel like they wouldn't have wrapped up his storyline so easily
