There has been some serious controversy recently about a major change to the Fresh Beat Band cast, where the actress playing Marina was changed with no explanation whatsoever.
This led to a lot of the viewers demanding a reason for the change, because it's obvious that it's not the same person playing the role.
Clearly, the network writers did not think this change through, and now this is causing a fair amount of outcry among the bands or TV shows fans.
A Brief Background On Cast Members Currently, the show is in its third season, and in the past two seasons the Fresh Beat Band cast members have stayed constant.
They have cast Jon Beavers as Twist, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer as Kiki, Thomas Hobson as Shout and Shayna Rose as Marina from the beginning.
These four characters make up the show and their adventures center around their daily lives in music school and the smoothie shop.
Every episode will feature a "problem of the day" that they will sing about and ultimately solve at the end of each episode.
The Controversial Change To The Fresh Beat Band Cast In the third season of the show, the network decided to replace Shayna Rose with Tara Perry to play the role of Marina.
Surprisingly enough, this change happened without any kind of explanation from the network or the show, meaning that kids encountered a totally different Marina than the member of the Fresh Beat Band cast that they were used to.
Obviously, the network just assumed that the kids wouldn't notice, but they have and they did not like the sudden change at all.
Believe it or not, this is not the first time that the Fresh Beat Band cast has been changed without any explanation at all, but in the previous case it was a minor character (Reed) that was replaced and the owner of the smoothie shop (Melody) that was dropped altogether.
The firing of Melody was another very odd decision as she was a firm favourite of the viewers of the show.
I can't help feeling that the show is going downhill from here, which is a shame because it was a very popular show for my kids to watch before all the unexplained changes to the Fresh Beat Band cast.
Hopefully the network will learn from their mistakes and keep on the regulars in the future! What do you think?
