I am absolutely devastated that Hudson and Rex will continue on without John!!! I have nothing against Luke Roberts, I wish him the best and I know that he doesn't deserve any backlash that he may or may not be experiencing! I plan on "TRYING" to watch the show at least until what happened to Charlie is revealed. I just don't understand how this could happen. I respect the Cast and Crew as well as the Writers and Producers I really do. I understand that change is inevitable but I don't think that this change had to happen in the way that it did and so drastically!!! Us fans would love for Shaftesbury Production Company to reconsider their decision and realize that they've lost an amazing Actor and an amazing Person who has put his blood, sweat and tears into this Character for the last 6 years. He fought Cancer and won which is amazing. John started the show 6 years ago and he should be allowed to finish what he started!!! As a fan of the show I'm imploring fellow fans to sign this Petition in support of John's return.
