She reminds them too much of Laura Osnes, who they still hate despite being proved right about the vaccines."

At this point, I start to assume this Ensemble17591322022 account is run by Laura Osnes / Chad Kimball in rotation"

Maybe -- but most likely, it's Boris T. back again.

Sher remains attached. Maybe it will never be great, but delivering an enjoyable enough "consumer product" should be the team's goal.

The thing I've never understood with the "multiple actors playing different eras of the same character" thing is a lack of age difference. Katie Rose Clark is 41, Carrie St. Louis is in her late 30s, and they read as nearly the same age. There was a decade between Stephanie J. Block and Teal Wicks, but they too read as nearly the same age. Same with the two MJs."

This is what bothered me the most about The Notebook. The two leads jumped from what, 16/17 to mid-late 20s? I was like...as fabulous as Jordan Tyson is, can't Joy Woods be doing all of this? This feels similar and unnecessary to me.

Otherwise, it's just been: here's the kid, then the young adult, then the adult, as a single chronological continuum."

I'm actually surprised nobody has done a bio-musical with a similar conceit as Todd Haynes' I'M NOT THERE, where six different actors played different aspects of Bob Dylan's life in six different vignettes.

Lennon the Musical has the entire cast as John Lennon, as does Ring of Fire for Johnny Cash.
