And I'm sure in Bex's case, she's being paid a lot less than the others to begin with. Cheapest actress who is also the most enthusiastic about the show? Should've been a winning combo. Should've, but the writers don't know how to play it safe and decided to invest in these risky new characters.

If they want to get rid of the regulars, fine. I'd do anything to watch a season centered on Jamie Chung, Sarah Bolger, Meghan Ory, Teri Reeves, David Anders, Agnes Bruckner and Kristin Bauer. And I'm sure half the fandom would come back for that. And they all have available schedules. Honestly, I'm not sure why they didn't do something like that. Focusing on secondary characters that are not resolved would have been a great direction for the show to go. Not really. It may be a creative idea, but we've seen how up-in-arms people are with JMo leaving and Bex leaving. If everyone left, it would have been a big turn off. See there's a difference between the "fandom" and the general audience. I'm sure if the general audience turned on the channel and saw Dorothy or Aurora they'd be lost and confused about what show they are watching.
