[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTH.  Theo James NOT returning.  No Sidney Parker.  I don't think they will replace him -- it seems like Sidney is completely out of the storyline.  Which is bizarre -- fans didn't fight to just keep Charlotte's storyline alive -- it was Charlotte and Sidney.

Will it still be worth watching?  I mean, I like Charlotte.  I like James Stringer, and always thought he deserved Charlotte.  But I'm not sure the other characters are enough to keep this series afloat for 2 seasons.

Wow. That EW.com article got some angry comments blaming Theo James for not returning, as if he personally owed viewers his return in the role. Surprising that people seemed not to realize that actors have other obligations to other productions lined up well in advance, sometimes, or they just don't want to be typecast by going on with a role they feel they've done enough. I am not a "Sanditon" fan (though I saw the whole first season) but I certainly see why he was so very popular as Sidney and why people got invested in Sidney and Charlotte. But the vitriol about him in those EW.com comments was just ridiculous. Especially considering that between the initial cancellation and the pandemic, the show was done filming as far as anyone knew until quite a sudden and late renewal, so it's to be expected that some actors would have moved on. I'm glad that here, people are expressing understandable disappointment that Theo James won't return, but they're not blaming him as if he's plotting to hurt them somehow. [/quote]
