Odyssey Without Whit
If Whit had to be written off the show, how would you react? If you wrote him off, how would you do it? Can the current Odyssey be what we've always loved without Whit? I could see Jason taking over Whit's End. There's really not any older characters that could take up that role and it be the show I've grown up with. If the parents have to start giving the advice, it'll be a lot like Down Gilead Lane, and that's just weird to me.

My idea involved a mysterious arc in which Connie and Eugene investigate the cause of Whit's disappearance, and stumble across his greatest secret, which leads into my headcanon about Julie Whittaker-Blackgaard and Buck Oliver and all that jazz.

I think they did a nice job handling the sudden death of Hal Smith by bringing in Jason and Jack. So, if Jason does take over at Whit´s end which I would like, then they need to bring in an older "sage"....maybe someone who takes over the antique gallery. I think a 4th incarnation of Whit would be a hard pill to swallow.........Jason and Connie could get married (yes, I am an optimist) and settle in to run Whit´s End. Jason could go off on adventures every now and then (like Whit), Connie could have her adventures while he is gone (ala Mrs. Columbo, yes, some of you are way too young), and the new owner of the antique gallery could be the Old Sage. I do like Red so he could sort of take over Bernard´s story telling role. They really need another older couple though, since Tom and Joanne will be gone too. Maybe not a farmer, but some other short of shop owner, but a stable influence, sort of a town mother (swedish has a perfect word for it "husmor", house mother) since June Kendall is rarely around these days. Connie needs a female role model.

I think there's more of a chance of Eugene being written off the show than Whit. Will is getting up in years. Andre as Whit, though, will be around for quite awhile.
the show was based on whit from F.P.. doing it with out him... i think (yes i know they did it but he was still there and we knew he would come back. at least i did)
but this new cast isnt at the level the other without cast was. its still young.. i mean if whit left in 21 and came back in 27. thats a lot of character development 20 plus albums..
but i agree with the above poster eugene might go first.. which is sad really. cause of how long he has been there. sad to think about so i refuse to think about this.

you can learn a lot from job 38-42, being humble isn't the easiest but its worth it.

I think they would be more likely to try to replace Eugene than they are Tom and Bernard, etc, though.
I would say yes as almost all of my favorite episodes do not even include White, IE Darkness beforedawn, questian about tasha, and best laid plans
