Kind of a risk going with Rose... too bad the timing's off, it could have been seamless with the recent storylines

I don't remember a show ever having to recast the main character after a single season

main characters have left well into a show's run but definitely not this that i can remember

She was bad actress, the show was had bad writing, it has bad rating , it is time to kill it and act like it never happened at all.

If you mean has a leading actor quit a show, yes. A notable case was Babylon 5, where Michael O'Hare was struggling with severe mental illness during the first season and was written out for the beginning of season 2.

nah.

it's got enough there that it could definitely be improved, and I'd rather see it continue on the CW than say, Charmed or Riverdale

wat...are u srs. i wonder what happened, what's the real reason she's leaving

wasn't she locked into a contract?

now we'll never get her crossover with kara...they had such good sexual chemistry

but i never started the series, now i probably never will as i'm trying to ween off the CW shows

The series is bad, yes. But not because of her. The DC shows all have gotten worse more than they've gotten better. That new Stargirl series looks hideous.

It was already renewed for season 2. CW shows rarely ever get canceled

the Beth/Alice stuff in the 2nd half of the season was great at least

Technically the 2005 Doctor Who revival had to recast the Doctor after one Season, but that show's a bit of a special case.

Something fishy is going on, usually leads are locked into 3-4 year contracts

Nobody has said what the reason is other than saying it has nothing to do with stuntwork injuries.

I watched it without knowing any of this happened after it was already completed and was more than a little disappointed. Got used to the second guy eventually but he was never near as good as Whitfield

As far as replacements occurring when a lead actor leaves after just the first season:

Farrah Fawcett left Charlie's Angels after the first season. She did return for six guest appearances in later seasons. Cheryl Ladd was brought in as the new Angel in the second season, Kris, and the show continued up through season five with other cast changes over the years.

Mission Impossible's first season in 1966 had Steven Hill as Dan Briggs. Hill left after the first season and Peter Graves was brought in as Jim Phelps. The show continued for six more seasons and two additional seasons in the late 80's when it was revived.

Kevin Can Wait had a cast shakeup after it's first season. Erinn Hayes played the title character's wife. Beginning of the second season, Hayes isn't around as the wife was killed off in-between seasons. Producers brought in Leah Remini as a regular. Didn't matter as the show never made it past the second season despite a King of Queen's semi reunion. They should have brought in Jerry Stiller.

There was a Cosby Show spin-off called A Different World starring Lisa Bonet as Denise Huxtable. Bonet left after the first season to give birth to her daughter. Zoe Kravitz, and the producers didn't want their lead college character to deal with having a child or pregnancy. She did re-appear for a brief time in season 3. The show continued and ended with season 6.

This one really weirded me out. That actress must have felt so shitty.

I remember reading that James and Hayes didn't feel like they had chemistry. Later, James said the original idea for the show was to be a single parent. Producers and himself felt they ran out of ideas by the end of the first season and decided to go back to the original concept of a single parent, but it could also include dealing with the tragedy of losing a loved one.

The truth is probably a mixture of both.

This.. live action DC rarely works with anything. It's not in the best hands with CW, I don't see why they don't try for a Hulu or Amazon original DC series instead, Marvel did it with Netflix and Daredevil was fuckin' awesome.

I wonder why she quit, regardless, it looks really bad for your career especially when you aren't really a talented actress. It's not like she's A list and doing this, I don't see good things for her going forward.

I never bothered to watch Batwoman, the only CW series I kind of enjoyed was Gotham but it's still a 7 at best show.

That arrangement didn't really work out in the long run though lol

But to answer your question I think the CW shows make a shitload of money for their budget. They're basically licensed worldwide to different channels and streaming services. Riverdale is marketed as a Netflix Original internationally even though it's a CW show.

DC do have Titans, Swamp Thing and Doom Patrol that isn't a part of the CW too.

The first couple of seasons of Arrow were fantastic. And The Flash is pretty good overall until they get too ambitious and flub things like the Flashpoint story arc.

Tbh if you like those I don't see why you wouldn't like Batwoman season 1. It's just as solid as early Arrow and Flash.

It helps that Batwoman is still in Chicago and hasn't had its budget slashed (yet). All the others are at that point where they're constantly in the same 3-4 sets and a bunch of warehouses.

Ruby wasnt a bad Kate Kane, but she was a horrible Batwoman. Even physically, she was a stick. No way did I believe she was punching out bad guys. Hell, the actress broke her back and nearly killed herself just doing the stunts.

One of the more recent episodes was directed by the choreographer from Arrow and it had the best action scenes to date. But yes, most of the fights, in either concept or execution, are not good.

Noooo. Not even remotely. Compare the intensity of the Arrow to Im-just-kind-of-here Batwoman. You actually believed Arrow was going to punch his fist through these guys faces. Batwoman is like, I wonder what kind of CGI theyll use this week to make it look like she did something.

Ehh I dunno if I'm ready to say that Amell was a great actor either (although he did improve over the years). These shows shine when the villains are good and Alice is great.
