Or he was not the first choice for the role, or any number of reasons in front of or behind the camera. Plenty of soaps don't wait for reaction when they recast. They just do it. It's commonplace.

I wish Maurice Johnson the best. He really does seem like a nice guy and I appreciate the way he's supported the show and engaged with fans. I hope he lands on his feet and has a nice future.

As other folks have already pointed out, this is definitely not the recast I would have made. I enjoyed MJ's chemistry with the cast especially Nicole and Eva. I wonder how things will shake out with the new actor, who I have remembered seeing elsewhere. 

I also think as it's already been suggested that perhaps the show did this to go in another direction with Ted. I think/hope it wasn't due to any sort of work ethic issues with Maurice. I don't think so, he does seem like a professional, who's was willing to put in the work on and offscreen for this show.

Daphnee Duplaix responded to Robinson's Instagram post, saying, "So excited to have you on this ride with us sugar!"

He better be amazing or else I'm going to start seriously questioning MVJ's taste level.

Yes, American Dreams was a really good drama. I loved it. The actor you're thinking of is Tom Verica, who's now a bigtime producer for Shonda Rhimes. He was in the How To Get Away With Murder cast for a time and then went on to exec produce Scandal and Bridgerton.

 

Your opinion, of course, but that seems like an overreaction.

 

Yep to all of this.

I like Maurice Johnson and I've posted multiple times about it, but people are running with this like it's some kind of scandal. It's not.

That is so sweet. I am looking forward seeing their chemistry on screen.

YES!! That's the Tom & we shared good feelings about this drama. 

I suggested to some friends that this is not a crisis & you'd have thought I said bad things about Elvis's mama or something!!!!

The "THEM" is very telling, IMO.

[Maxim]

Now that is something else... a new twist. And definitely telling. Now we can talk.

I'm just glad they didn't recast with someone whose skin was lighter than Maurice's.  Because you KNOW that's been done before in daytime.
