Surely there were other candidates that could do an "older" Summer, I am struggling with her, and she is in fact a bit too old?🙄

I thought the original Summer was very wooden and not at all natural.

But the new one is naff as well🤔
Maybe a Summer is not needed, plenty of young ones around the street anyway

she was wise beyond her years but clever and astute, not an airhead

The poster said that he is great. I explained that he is not great

The original Summer, actress Matilda Freeman, was 16 the same age as the actress. The new Summer, actress Harriet Bibby, is 22, too big an age jump and it shows. The recast was necessary because Matilda decided it was time to move on. But I think they could have tried harder when finding a replacement.

Totally agree .. when she was in a scene with Kelly I thought "Who is that?" before I remembered a new Summer. Loved the old one, really have not taken to this one yet at all but she is quite new so will give it time

I was wondering who it was as well to be honest.

Also what was bugging me there was the way Kelly was holding her phone, why not put it up to your ear so you can actually listen...I would have laughed if it had slipped out the palm of her hand and broke.
