In the past month, we have lost not one but two Warners – first Frank and now Finn. What is going on?
In fact, we haven’t just lost Frank and Finn. Today Becky decided to switch back to working at Central after a very amicable breakup with Curtis, and I am pretty sure this is the last time we will see her. No big loss there, the character was pretty dull.
I have to say, I’m pretty gutted about Finn’s departure. Not as much as Zoe was, though.
Lately, there haven’t been any casting announcements, so it’s never clear whether the actors have decided to leave or whether they were written out.
Either way, this is a huge loss for the show. Finn became a rather despicable character when he started abusing Esther, but was redeemed in what I thought was a pretty convincing way, which I think the actor can take credit for. This storyline made him into a pretty compelling character who desperately wanted to move on from his past, but would probably never fully forgive himself for what he did.
Anyway, the actor is very talented and I wish him the best.
However, what’s the plan now? They spent quite a bit of time setting up Zoe and Finn as a pairing, but now he’s abruptly left.
And what about Chris? It’s hard to imagine what role he will play on the show without any of his kids around. There have always been some people in that house- the triplets, Harry Warner, Rachel up until late 2016, Phoenix until 2013, etc.
Anyway, I hope they have plans to bring in some new core characters, because we have lost many in the past few months (Finn, Vinnie, Frank). Kawe too, actually.
I hope this new babysitter isn’t part of those plans. I don’t think she is going to cut it.
Thoughts?
