I think TBTB are more concerned with potential profitability over any artistic concerns. If if comes down to casting shiny bright lights of the day, or attempting to stay true to the source material, the source material is often tossed aside. Really, the casting for the new Wuthering Heights boggles my mind.
The insta-child not only watered down Roger and one of the principle motivations for his behavior, but Hart himself never really jelled. Did the writers even have a concrete definition of what type of person he was supposed to be, and what they intended to do with him? It seemed Hart changed direction with every new actor hired
No, it ended up not mattering much at all, which was a failure on the writers' part. If they just had to introduce Hart through wonky revisionist history, the character should have had a serious, dramatic impact on established Sprinfieldians like Roger and Blake.
It was all such a waste.
NOW, an even worse blunder on the part of the show (producers, casting directors, writers) was introducing Doug Hutchinson as Sebastian Hulce, Roger's other son. What a disaster. The actor was woefully miscast; he came across as creepy and smarmy, and NOT in a good way. Hutchinson may have been perfectly fine in other roles (I don't know, I've never seen him in anything else), but his "je ne sais quoi" on TGL was such a major repellant. I wanted him gone immediately. I prayed every day he would be replaced by James Marsters, lol.
I knew Sebastian was not going to be long for this world.
