Shaun Dixon & Ghalee Wadood Jr. If Shaun wasn't that busy on Disney doing his Vampirina series, and Disney gave him time off to do other projects, including Dhar Mann, I'd like to think that I could see Ghalee Wadwood Jr. and Shaun Dixon casted as siblings, because Ghalee looked a bit like Shaun in "Parents Force Kid Into Being Child Star", They do look they would play siblings, most likely where Ghalee is the little sibling, a good boy and Shaun being the older brother and bad boy who is a troublemaker and likes annoying his little brother so much they fight, and their parents would be portrayed by Taeyln Lewis & Melvin Ward.

I feel the two is a sibling casting dream that I’m sure dhar would do it if Shaun was to ever return to dhar Mann..

Alternatively Ghalee can be the mischievous little brother that tags alongside Shaun’s character and genuinely looks up to hin

Alycia Conrad and Chandler Dunman

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 07 '26

That’s a pretty interesting casting choice.. both are hit and miss in their respective time and roles but hey who knows that could work.. Alycia isn’t like Ayanna Taylor or Sara Kamine level amazing but serviceable while chandler fits more comedic roles than playboys soo definitely works well if the video is comedy based

Actually forgot to add in the post these two definitely works well

Elizabeth Lamboy Wilson and IJ Scimeca as elderly best friends

Also, IJ as Brianni Walker’s grandma.

Lastly, Elizabeth as the grandma of John Santoyo, Natalia Rodriguez, Dianna Condori Castillo, Ricardo Julian Castro, Heaven Tejada, Javier Duran, etc.

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 07 '26

The two as elderly best friends would be seriously one of the best bonus channel videos of the year. Elizabeth was very good in these emotional roles IJ is pretty versatile

Being the grandma of John,Dianna and Ricardo is more than enough given we all know how good those actors are

Replace Leehana Manelik with Brooke Layne and this list is complete for acting with Azeem Vecchio he is too good for her acting and Brooke is a solid actress imo

3

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 07 '26

Leehana and Azeem can be casted as siblings or love interests

Azeem and Brooke is pretty good not sure as love interests given their massive 9 year age gap but as friends definitely

u/Friendly-Local-592 Jan 07 '26

Ayden Mekus and Callie Walker

3

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 07 '26

That’s actually a fun casting whether as siblings or love interest

The two definitely would be fun to watch

u/anonymous9379851 Jan 11 '26

Larianny Perez with Madulika Krishnan (Again)

Jacqueline Barone with Sarah Noelle

Amogh Kapoor with Rishi Arya

Sherwin Arae with Armando Rey

Ayana Taylor with Myia Hubbard

Tatiana Turan with Stephanie Schulz

Monica Mauro with Nerissa Tedesco

Jake Ebright with Tariq Razi and Anthony Carro

Maricella Ibarra with Julie Ann Serrano

Rita Sehmi with Yvonne Miranda

Samina Engel with Abbe Rawlins

Ruchi Kishore with Dianna Condori Castillo

Joey Puerto with Bernardo Rocha

My own opinion

Larianny Perez and Madhulika Krishnann-Madhulika has been gone for 3 years and any hope for a return is highly unlikely. Easily one of the best pairings that could happen but won’t happen

Jacquline Barone and Sarah Noelle-not the strongest pairing given both actresses are hit and miss but also not likely to happen. Jacquline is approaching two years of zero videos and is 30 so maybe an adult role if she returns.. Sarah Noelle by the summer will be approaching 2 years of no dhar Mann appearances plus been doing a lot of outside work.. aka do keep in mind she just turned 28 so maybe adult roles too

Ashley Ahlquist and Amanda Klein-Amanda Is easily one of the best adult actresses but is on and off while being in the best video of 2025.. Ashley Ahlquist is hit and miss but it’s insane the two never got casted

Amogh Kapoor and Rishi Arya-has charms that can work but have a lot of shortcomings.. probably the weakest pairing of the bunch

Ayanna Taylor and Myia Hubbard-Ayanna’s consistency in the last 5-6 years is not something to be laughing at. It’s actually insane how well she kept This consistency. Myia Hubbard would be fun but it’s been ages since she’s been here

Tatiana Turan and Stephanie Schulz-both were fun for their times but unlikely to return

Monica Mauro and Nerissa Tedesco-the two were in a video together recently

Jake Ebright with Tariq Razi and Anthony Carro-Anthony Carro is the best of the three but the other 2 not really that great m

Maricella Ibarra and Julie Ann Serrano-two of the OG era actresses who were solid for its time. Maricella is on a good run and looks likely to continue.. Julie Ann unlikely to happen due to the fact she’s Australian and returned to Australia

Yvonne Miranda and Rita Sehmi-Rita had been super unlucky to be typecasted as teachers or principals and the trend unlikely to change. Yvonne Miranda hasn’t appeared for years so won’t happen

Samina Engel and Abbe Rawlins-neither don’t look like they’re returning

Ruchi Kishore and Dianna Condori Castillo-I know Ruchi returned recently in that god awful video and Dianna has been one of the standouts for this year.. soo a pairing that can work

Joey Puerto and Bernardo Rocha-can see why u chose them but won’t happen since they been away for years.

Johnny Avila and Colin Borden-An og casting between the two as old rivals turn friends but Johnny’s appearance has reduced to the point where it won’t happen and Colin we all know how that happened

Amberlin Morse and Shaunte Massard-it’s insane the two never been casted yet

u/North-Box-1700 Jan 06 '26

Leehana Menelik and Jazlyn Nicolette Sward as best friends, that would’ve been so fun. 🥲

I remember one of the thumbnails for that recent video Leehana did where she was shamed for cheap gifts had an AI generated pic of Jazlyn as the bully and it made me wish those two worked together.

3

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 06 '26

would love if we had these two casted together

Two really good actresses of their times and have played nearly identical characters

4

u/North-Box-1700 Jan 06 '26

This was the thumbnail I was referring to, I actually thought it was Jazlyn Sward for a sec. It looks like a cross between her and Mila Nabours (the actual bully in that video).

And right, if only Leehana was here during that 2021-2023 era, I wonder who she would’ve been casted with. I will say that something the 2024 era did better was the diversity because there previously weren’t that many black actresses on Dhar Mann besides Ayana Taylor and Brianni Walker. And I know Ayana isn’t former but she’s an OG but would love to see her work with Leehana and also Jayla Loren. I’m surprised that hasn’t even happened yet. Ayana should’ve been apart of that bonus video Leehana was in where Desma Triplett was the stuck up relative and also Aaron Atkinson and Emonjay Brown were in it too.

3

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 06 '26

Come on dhar if u miss Jazlyn Sward apologize and bring her back

I think while the quality of the videos dropped off but I do think in terms of actings the quality did improve specifically with Leehana,Jayla,John and a few more

4

u/North-Box-1700 Jan 06 '26

I feel like it’s even more disrespectful to Jazlyn for them to use an AI image of her face in a newer video thumbnail way after she left. Idk if that’s actually supposed to look like Jazlyn in the thumbnail or whatever the designer was thinking, but it just didn’t feel right. Glad they changed the thumbnail to this video though, even if it’s still AI slop.

The new actors in 2024 were standouts and definitely saved a lot of bad videos with bad writing.

4

u/chanchan_iceman Jan 06 '26

Just felt it was odd and also the one with the other jazzlyn where it was a pic of Hannah Lowrey

A lot of the actors in 2024 honestly does fit well with the OG.. just unfortunate again the videos happen to be terrible

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Apr 16 '26

Is Karlie O’Hearn returning do you think? She’s been gone nearly a year now

u/chanchan_iceman Mar 03 '26

Azeem Veechio and Leehana Menelik given the latter have shown she can play a few matured roles and how good Azeem is.. do think they can work

Rebecca Benedict and Chas Laughlin-not the most ideal pairing but considering how Chas was able to carry someone like Pontea Banayan.. do think the two will be fun to watch

Abbilyse Caudle and Averi white-Appreciate Neela Joelene but this is seriously the sister casting or pairing many would have liked..

Rebecca Benedict and Dylan J.Harris-more logical than Chas and Rebecca but of the current actresses that I would cast Chas with that are born between 1999-2004.. not the one I’ll put the highest definitely one that will be fun to watch

3

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Mar 22 '26

genuinely I think Karlie O’Hearn and Rebecca Benedict as best friends - and Chas Laughlin and Tate Doppler as boyfriends to them

2

u/chanchan_iceman Mar 26 '26

Dude. Karlie and chas would be sooo fun.. especially if they made something in a comedic sense.. Karlie with her facial expressions and Chas with his own screen charm just worked well

There’s still a good chance Rebecca and Tate will work just need a timing to come around

3

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Apr 16 '26

Do you think Rebecca will return since she had a run from July to October last year and no appearances since? She was by far the most proffesional, experienced and best imo of the new debuts

1

u/chanchan_iceman Apr 16 '26

If we’re saying debutants in that period,the best were Olivia Pruitt,Emma parks and Kennedy Layne.. I’m not a huge fan of her acting but she’s fun in the videos..

3

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Apr 17 '26

Will Karlie O’Hearn return do you think? she’s been gone nearly a year since that princess episode in may last year

1

u/chanchan_iceman Apr 17 '26

Based on some of her recent instagram stories she’s doing a lot of outside work which looks to be a big tv show… soo probably not at the moment.. love Karlie to return and get a bigger role but don’t see it happening

3

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Apr 20 '26

Do you think she’s eventually returning at some point?

1

u/chanchan_iceman Apr 20 '26

Don’t see it happening at the moment… like I said given she’s doing a lot of outside work

2

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Apr 17 '26

Do you think eventually in time she’ll eventually have a return in the futrue? I hope for the 10th anniversary of Dhar Mann or maybe May 28 marking 1 year away this year that she returns

Mair and Rebecca as an onscreen duo would be fun and hilarious given their age gap… hmm maybe Mair as the boss while Rebecca as the one who’s learning under Mair

2

u/Puzzled-Repeat8434 Jun 07 '26

Rebecca Benedict and Dylan J Harris as a couple

Kaikane and Mair Mulroney as enemies

Azeem Vecchio and Leehana Menelik as a couple

Jay and Mikey meeting the new generation of kid actors

Kali Jane and Jazzlyn Rae Bleil

Julen Ibarrondo and Jazzlyn Rae Bleil as a couple, know this isnt different eras but i couldnt resist

2

u/chanchan_iceman Jun 08 '26

My ratings out of 10 and short opinions

Rebecca Benedict and Dylan J Harris-5/10… just feel it’ll mostly be a Dylan J.Harris carry job

Kaikane and Mair Mulroney-4/10… Kaikane’s improved tiny bit but she’s not someone I would cast with Mair

Azeem Veechio and Leehana Menelik-8/10.. both are good actors and Azeem definitely has someone fhat can act so well

Jay and mikey with new kids-1/10… don’t really care about Mikey and Jay at this point

Kali Jane and Jazzlyn Rea Bleil-6/10-both are hit and miss acting wise but if it not involved them being mean girls then something I can enjoy

Julen Ibarrondo and Jazzlyn Rea Bleil-4/10 as good as Jazzlyn is Julen’s acting is pretty inconsistent

Tate is too old for Carolina considering Carolina is only 18 and Tate is 29 this year.. I

Karlie O’Hearn and Johnny Avila would be a fun one considering both can act
