Do you ever get used to new casts?
I'm just starting season 8 for the first time and I'm already missing some of the older characters.
I'm not sure who will show up again later but just not seeing Ellie, Paige, Marco, Jimmy, etc. in the opening credits now stinks. Even Darcy who's still in the show has been reduced to "Also starring" credit. I'm sure some of them will show up again cause their storylines haven't concluded but does it just take anyone else a long time re-adjust and care about the new characters?
Spinner is my absolute favorite and I'm glad he's still around. But once he, Emma, Liberty, Manny, and the rest of them are gone completely idk if it will hold my interest as much.
With the format of this show it can essentially go on forever like most daytime soaps. It can just indefinitely introduce new characters, but they will never be as interesting as the originals because they all sort of fall into similar archetypes.
