I cant believe they are doing this!
I don't like the idea. Works better with children when they've grown up, as was said earlier.

I agree only work with children or when the character has been gone for years and then comes back as someone else....like another actor
Neighbours star James Sorensen has revealed that the forthcoming transformation of his character Declan Napier will take place without any fuss.
Last month, it was announced that Erin Mullally is to take over the role of the Ramsay Street favourite because Sorensen is leaving the programme.
Speaking to Holy Soap about how the recast will work, Sorensen explained: "[It'll be] nothing over the top. I'm Declan one day and the next day it's Erin. Pretty simple.
"That's how it works, I can't continue, so Erin comes in and picks up the baton. I think it's easier for the viewers to accept when it's a simple change-over."
The actor added that he is still backing the decision to recast Declan and hopes that viewers will grow to accept Mullally's interpretation of the character.
He said: "Erin will come in and play his version of Declan, he can't play it exactly as I do and I and the producers would never expect him to do it any other way. All I can say to the Declan supporters is that Erin will be terrific, give him a go, you'll be surprised."
Sorensen decided to quit Neighbours because he wants to pursue a career away from television.

Neighbours actor Sam Clark has spoken out in support of his new co-star Erin Mullally.
Mullally was recruited to take over the role of young father Declan Napier earlier this year following James Sorensen's decision to quit the part.
Speaking to Holy Soap about the recast, Clark commented: "[Erin's] doing a great job. He has to work with babies and start up a relationship that has already been going on for a while that James set up.
"He's got a massive ask on him, as well as winning over the fans of Declan, so it's a really strange one. But hopefully everyone can understand why it's happened and accept Erin as the new Declan."
Clark, who plays Ramsay Street's Ringo Brown, also confirmed that viewers can expect the new Declan to be "different in a lot of ways".
Sorensen left Neighbours in order to pursue a career in the army.
