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.

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.

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.

      Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!

      Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.

      Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?

      RIP to our hero, John Black

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.

      I still continue to think that Dani is written like she's been in a soap opera for 20 seasons and she's come to a point where she's completely spent storyline wise. It's a vibe I'm getting. Characterization wise... It's like she is either incredibly stupid... or just plain delusional and out of touch with reality. I choose to pick the second option. Also... to me... she has not been entertaining for months now. Ever since they decided to jump straight to... she's an alcoholic... which we didn't need at this point... the character has struggled. Her initial Ex-wife-from-hell bravado was more interesting, even though cliche.  I expect her to improve in the coming months... they used her as a clown type of character to draw in views. Now I need to see the human being. If there is one, behind the soap opera caricature.
