If Giuntoli decided to move on career wise, I could see them trying a spin-off with Toboni's character but not outright replacement in this show. That would never work. The writer's would have to redo the entire cast dynamic. What happens with Monroe and Hank? With Rosalee and Juliette? They'd pretty much have to start from scratch and rewrite the entire show from top to bottom.
I agree. Such a move would be suicidal. Besides, Giuntoli is obviously having a good time as Nick--unless he has an offer for a HUGE movie part, I don't see him quitting.
That being said Trubel can't remain a permanent houseguest at Nick and Juliet's place. I'd earlier suggested that she move into the apartment over the spice shop--given that Rosalee will be living at Monroe's place--and work part-time in the shop in exchange. It was pointed out that having a Grimm behind the counter might scare off potential customers, so that part might not work.
Agreed on both these views.
A Trubel spin-off not only sounds like a terrible idea in general to me while I'm already wary of the prospect of Trubel as the focus character for the de-grimmed Nick arc but I as well don't see Guintoli leaving the show for just any film role. As mentioned he does enjoy the show, and the actor who played the troubled Circus Blutbad Max, Sam Witwer (whom I am a big fan of) is proof of this.
The two are close friends in RL and Guintoli had apparently deactivated his Twitter account at some point. I don't know the story there but Witwer got him to reactivate it by agreeing with the condition Guintoli had that he play a role on Grimm.
I witnessed the unfolding of this myself on my timeline. The fact that Guintoli convinced a friend of his to appear on his show says a great deal about how much he values it.
It's also quite true that the entire show would have to be re-written and characterized to focus on Trubel which I don't support.
