What happened to the old characters?

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

What happened to those like....

- Tom Riley
- The Barclays
- The Rathbones

Are they gone from the face of the earth?

As for Tom Riley and Bart Rathbone, I think the actor playing them passed away, so it is unlikely that they will return.
(I suppose they could find a replacement like they did for Whit, but it seem less likely)

Yeah, either the actors passed away/retired or the writers stopped writing them into the show in order to move on to a new era in Odyssey. Sadly though, with most cases (regarding popular characters), the actors passed on. =[

The Barclays went on a family vacation.

The Rathbones went to Vegas.

And Tom took a European vacation.

Also Randy Quaid had a Christmas vacation.

Rumor has it that they all like to hang out at the Whit's End in Connellsville. :-

They should totally bring back Whit's End, Connellsville. And maybe even bring in some new kid characters that are actually voiced by kids. Or just some new characters with more depth in general.

As of now it's usually just Connie, Eugene, Wooton, Penny, and Whit.

Stewart is snowboarding the summits of Colorado, and when he's not competing, he's making snowmen and sending pictures to his family. :D
