Utterly ridiculous. The other one was in like 3 episodes and we never saw much of him and he seemed a decent enough actor for a child. It's like ineta being recast after 1 episode. This really irritates me

Fair play to the young lad. He's done a fair bit

Good luck to him

We knew this was happening didn't we? I'm more interested in finally getting a date for Denise's discovery in the allotment, shame it's three weeks away though.

The cast list will be taken down soon, they usually only go up on the website about two weeks in advance so it must be a mistake.

There was no announcement but a few presumed. Unthought I heard Rory was coming back with Laurie in September but obviously not. Recasting young cast I overboard and the actors aren't being given a proper chance...
First there was ineta after 1 episode
Now Rory isn't bobby after appearing in 15 episodes or so in total.
Janet is probably the next one or maybe Morgan and Tiffany

I know about less working hours and stuff but when you compare Rory's with Alex's...
People just didn't get the chance to warm to Rory's bobby.

The ineta situation is probably as you say but it remains to be a myserty.

none of these bobby kids seem to look all that much like the prev one. Just looked on the link posted for the new one he was advised not to stay in billy elliott as he wouldnt be able to audition or work on anything else. maybe thats why the other kids are not sticking around or maybe they find its not for them rather than it being tptb

maybe Rory's parents wanted him to concentrate on school.

don't start slating bosses until you know the real reasons.

it makes me laugh that some posters think that actors who play the characters as children should continue to play that role for ever. There is a multitude of reasons why recasts of children are often a necessity, just use your imagination.

I personally have nothing against Rory Stroud, I thought he was a cracking little actor he just didn't look like a Beale to me. The new one does, I wish him all the best.

I think Rory didn't want to take such a long break and then return. Perhaps he parents didn't want him involved too much in the Lucy storyline. He certainly knew he was leaving when he finished filming because of the instrgram photos.

maybe he got another job so couldn't come back.

do child actors get paid well?

I don't think they should play them for ever, just given a few years and appear in a decent amount of episodes so viewers can warm to the character, Rory was only bobby since last year and with another new head this soon it'll be confusing. Recasting the same character should not happen until the actor has been in enough episodes to how their potential (unless as you say parents preferring them to focus on school etc). I don't like frequent head swaps in sort time periods.

In reaction to slating dtc, I think he has done wonders with the introduction of the carters, Lucy's murder, charlie/dot/nick and bringing in the likes of kush, pam and aleks aside from the bigger characters he has. Johnny's story really touched me and imp was the best ee episode I've seen. (Granted I've not seen all nearly 5000)
