I have to believe showrunners know when an actor is subpar for what they have in mind and they probably do hear the fan chatter, not to say that that make decisions based on fan views (all of the time)but there has to be a way for them to determine if an actor isn't up to scratch. I don't think they had a problem with Bitsie herself but I do think they were aware of the extreme negative reception of the Nick and Juliette relationship year in and year out, that's why S5 (and the latter half of S4) is such a disconnect to the previous seasons.(12-20-2016, 03:20 PM)Renardfan99 Wrote:(11-30-2016, 04:35 AM)degrimm Wrote: [quote='Renardfan99' pid='36674' dateline='1480298240']
BT is the worse, that's all!
Really, u're just going on blind faith here.
Out of all the cast, she was the only one given 2 roles. That's evidence of faith in her abilities; if u've ever been to a film industry, u would know that people rarely get 2 roles unless they believe in ur abilities and have previous great record acting.
That's because she was so bad with the first role and was romantically involved with the lead actor on the show. Otherwise, BT would have been sent packing!
I've heard of firings because of difficulty to get along with, firings because of assault, firings because of addiction, and firings because of belligerence. Who actually determines if an actress should be fired because of poor acting ability?
*IF* there is such a person on Grimm, they're a real dork because they wait 5 years to make the determination that Bitsie is not only a terrible actress, but that the Lawrence Olivier of Grimm, David, really has the clout to keep her on because he's her squeeze? (laughs). Just too funny.
And I don't think it's that easy to get rid of an actor unless there's external circumstances that push the envelope. Most of these shows tend to tie their main cast in long-term contracts at the beginning, so say the showrunners were unhappy with the actor, they may opt to run out the contract than find themselves in hot water due to an early dismissal that could cost them more money if the actor takes them to task. I don't know much about this business but I can't imagine reneging on a contract is financially sound practice.
