"The

is leaving; his role, Dean, will be recast." - 'In the Dark' New CW Series Recasts Austin Nichols - Deadline
Wow! After all of the excitement of the pilot, "filming" in Toronto, being late to the Return to Tree Hill in Wilmington due to said "filming", the big announcement in that Hollywood News video interview , I'd have to call this "giving up on" story as a,

LOL! ol' Ryan Seacrest looks so serious as he says "game changer", doesn't he?
I couldn't resist that one.
But seriously, this is a mighty interesting turn of events, isn't it? Gee, must have been something a lot worse than just bad catered-in food on set, don't you think? Austin hasn't had a show where he's been a lead since John from Cincinnati.
Will be a bit interesting.
Tomorrow is Friiiiiday!!! *Kevin McAllister dance*
Too bad. It would have been nice for him to keep a lead role and the story premise sounds good. Sudden changes like this are usually the result of creative differences. A nice way of saying people are not getting along or fighting on set.

I know, m. I so enjoyed him on Ray Donovan and loved seeing him on The Bates Motel. It would have been fantastic to see him in this new show.
So sorry to hear about this, it sounded promising. I wonder if he didn't test well, or when they bought the series they demanded a change.
It is weird, isn't it?
But something is just not on the up and up about it. I think location and timing has everything to do with the projects that Austin and Jake take on. This show would have put Austin in a good location were Jake to be on the east coast. Did something change? Or did Austin even film this pilot?
One thing is for sure. I watch these two guys' social media activity pretty well. And they are not seen any more.
This has been going on for awhile now. Jake's team fakes his whereabouts with old file photos and hinky looking ones. Austin isn't seen and not that he ever was, but once in a great while, there would be a sighting.
For two guys who allegedly want to be in the entertainment industry, they sure don't show it and haven't been showing it for several years. Now more than ever, they act like they're retired or out of the business, only emerging for very short periods.
That's not normal for unattached, active actors. Things have changed noticeably for them, particularly for Austin career-wise.
And when I say they aren't seen anymore, I'm not including those ridiculous passing on bridges and sidewalk brushings (Oh, I didn't want to bother him for a pic!). Those are fake and the fact they are the only ones allowed on social media, tells me that other real sightings are being filtered out.
That tweet from the gal who saw Family Tile on her flight, the Taco Bell and the coffee stop in western NY are about the last sightings of them that I think were for real. That's going pretty far back.
Now, Jake did a flurry of promo for Stronger and when he did SITPWG, there were plenty of photos from the stage door and interview after interview. But since then, it’s been extremely controlled. A few pics on a make up artist’s Instagram of alleys and asphalt don’t constitute filming pictures.
Austin did a flurry of photos on other people’s instagrams around his birthday and then he turns into Howard Hughes again.
When you compare them to others in the industry, they’re really showing signs of being more domesticated and leading more of a civilian-like life behind the scenes than their peers who try to convey the same thing thru the press and actually make more noise about it. It’s all very ironic.
