Why was Jackie recast?

Is Rowan Blanchard simply unavailable this season or she left due to "creative differences"?

The real Adam explains the recast here: https://wmmr.com/2018/10/03/zipperheadsouthstreet/

Rowena is 17 and will be 18 later this year so I don't buy the age difference explanation.

I don't buy the age difference either. It shouldn't have posed a problem.

I blame Rowan. She made nothing but a big stink on Twitter about her own personal problems when Girl Meets World (2014 - 2017) was on the air. I hated her for it and it made me hate watching the show since she had to air her dirty laundry in some episodes.

But regardless, she did seem like the perfect fit for Adam's girlfriend. It's a shame she didn't want to stick around.

This new Jackie is just...bleh.

This new Jackie just looks weird, Rowan Blanchard was perfect for the role :(

I wonder if this is why this season, they brought Dana back to be Adam's "girl".
