No, No, HELL NO!

At least I wasn't sure what to write about, mainly because it's after 8:30 and I had no inspiration to write a blog post today until this happened:

(This was off SpoilerTV.com)

Once Upon a Time - Season 2 - May recast Mad Hatter, spin him off (Spoilers) Okay, one red flag - RECASTING THE FUCKING MAD HATTER?!?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, how many times do I have to say no?! 

Then I read this: 

'The Mad Hatter may get his own series. I hear that ABC brass are mulling spinning the character from fairytale drama Once Upon A Time into his own series. But I hear Sebastian Stan, who has played the character, is not available for the potential multi-year commitment, so the network has quietly put out feelers to recast the role. I hear Mad Hatter will return to Once for a guest stint later this season. If the character and his storyline pop (as they have done in the past), ABC will consider a spinoff centered on the Mad Hatter. I hear the new Mad Hatter would be cast as guest star with a series option behind it.'

The ONLY way, he could be recast is that they make him a younger version of himself. Like a kid or teenager. But, I don't even what that! I want Sebastian as Hatter and ONLY Hatter!! I don't care what ABC is saying or that their making millions off OUAT - a spinoff with Hatter (which would be AMAZING!) and having Sebastian Stan as the character, it'll success. A spinoff without Sebastian Stan, it will FLOP, big time! 

Do not get me wrong, a spinoff with Mad Hatter/Jefferson would be EPIC! Considering he's my favorite character but if you recast, it won't do well. Even if you paired it with OUAT, it will flop. No one can play Hatter/Jefferson like Sebastian, he's got everything The Mad Hatter was. The recast person wouldn't be able to play him justice. 

You can't simply think that a recasting will do this spinoff anything - that would mean if you have to recast Jefferson/Mad Hatter all together because with a spinoff and if you want him to appear on OUAT, there has to be a new male lead. 

Sorry, but you can't get rid of Sebastian, he is the Mad Hatter. 

Until tomorrow,
