Current Talk '16 II / Re: Discuss - Ep #1092

I guess DC didn't think of recasting. Maybe he was afraid of a fan backlash like the one that happened with the recast Alexandra Moltke as Vicki because he felt David Henesy was similarly so identified as David as she was with Vicki. Or maybe he hoped Henesy would eventually change his mind.
I've always suspected that the fact that Henesy began high school in September of 1970 may have had a big influence on why he decided to leave and only agreed to do two eps of 1840. Switching to high school is always a major step in a young teen's life. But I could just as easily be wrong. Though there's also that supposedly he never really liked acting and it was his mom/manager who had him pursue it...
