I think you missed a comment I made later. As long as everything is done in an ethical and proper manner, I have no issues. 
Yes, I'm aware about the change in cast for YHM.
In fact CHARMED - which is one of my all time favorite shows, I know they filmed the pilot episode and then scrapped it followed by the casting of Alyssa Milano as Phoebe.
So no, I have no issues against the makers or the channel in general when they start working on a project, do mock shoots and other stuff.
BUT, it's also a fact that these days channel put a lot of pressure on the makers, often going out of the way and forcing them to change the storyline overnight just to survive in the rat race of TRP.
Yes, from a business perspective, that is how it's done. But when you force a major change in a creative process, majority of the time it backfires.
It's one thing to scrap a couple of episodes and an entirely different thing to lock someone, start the promotion and then scrap several episodes. This only showed their stupidity and laziness that they let something go on for quite some time, only to intervene at the eleventh hour, making an embarrassing situation for the actress.
Ultimately, it's their product. They can do whatever the hell they want to do with it. If it's good, I'll definitely appreciate the new actress and the show.
For now, I'm not interested in it anymore.
