Now the latest I've seen online is that the roles of Starr Manning and Matthew Buchanan are going to be recast, for different reasons. Kristen Alderson is ready to move on and TPTB want a "sexier" Matthew Buchanan. It's usually hard when they recast favorites, but it's even harder when they do it to actors/characters you literally watched grow up onscreen. It's one thing when the actor chooses to move on, (Erin Torpey), but I think that instead of recasting, the character should be written out with the option of the original actor returning at some point. (Kimberly McCullough, "Robin Scorpio" on GH) As good an actress as Bree Williamson is, I still don't completely accept her as Jessica. Sorry for my long winded "rant". What other child actors/characters do you think never should have been recast?
