Thats my biggest dilemma too. I LOVE Dutta the character, so part of my heart is very happy that the character is coming back, because LTL is NOTHING without Dutta, we all know that.
The other part of my heart is in turmoil, because I identify Dutta with MR, and I dont know if I can bring myself to watching another actor play it. The logical Project Manager in me says that I should because its a character and ideally any decent actor should be able to pull it off, but the creative lover in me denies that vehemently because of the indelible impression MR made on me with that role. Is that impression changeable? I say no. But should I give the new actor a chance? Logic says that I should, because its not his fault that he was asked to play that role, so why should he not be given a chance? At least, Dutta, the character who I love will get a voice as opposed to be being drowned into oblivion.
Im still conflicted
*** Throws everything she owns at the PH and the channel for removing MR from the show *******
**** Disappointed, sad muh *****
