[QUOTE="Jock's Ghost, post: 437480, member: 1183"] Have zero issues with recasting anyone as LONG as the character is needed. The Waltons didn't seem to thrive with fake John Boy, but I dont watch the series enough to gage it. DALLAS had done the recast many times when a guest spot turns into a permenent and the actors says no or is busy- Like with Morgan Fairchild who stupidly said no. And 1st Gary... Jock would have been no different, just find an actor with the same build. Tucker would have been no good either as he died in 1986- same year as Donna Reed :( Its better to lose the actor than the entire storyline. Jocks' demise didn't hurt the series like Bobby (only because of the idiocy return). [/QUOTE]
