      I had no idea the original actress that played Claire was leaving. That was so strange yesterday seeing the new actress in that role.   Was it previously announced that she was leaving?

    Sonny is getting on my nerves.   was never a fan of his but he sure wears the pants in that relationship. He was treating Will like a child.   Even the way he was saying it was too soon to adopt a kid, it was a bit controlling to me.

    He bothered the hell out of me yesterday. he’s very smug and I agree how he scolded Will as if he were his child not his husband. 

    As for Claire, the show we saw yesterday was the first show after the entire cast was put on hiatus for two months and taken off contract. Olivia Rose Keegan found other acting opportunities and left, so her character was recast. BTW, this actress is Australian and is 28 years old. Old Claire, just turned 20. I think they aged her a bit so they could have her interact with older actors or maybe a new love interest.

     Thank you for all the information on Olivia Rose, mommytutu!  I am glad it was her decision and that she wasn’t let go.   I liked her as Claire. The new actress seems okay and I think she’ll be good in the part based on first impressions.

    I wondered whether the actress left on her own accord so thanks for that info. In fact, I wonder the same thing about many of the actors who are leaving because they don’t always give those details.

    Oops! This should have gone under Mommytutu’s post.

    It seems as though that 2 months off contract forced many of the actors to look for other opportunities. I’m going to name these people by character, not their real name because I forget so many. Eric got a role on a show called Queen Sugar. I believe it’s filmed in either SC or NC and he and his fiancé moved there. Gabi had been hinting she was looking for work elsewhere and left on her own accord. Hope also left by choice. Ciera has also left by her own choice. Sonny, Will, and Rafe were all let go. I think that off contract time and letting some main characters go is going to bite the producers in the butt. That’s a lot of actors gone.
