I suspect scheduling is the reason that we’re seeing new officers on the bridge.
Oyin Oladego who plays Owosekun is the lead in a Nigerian-Canadian indie film. Here’s the Hollywood Reporter story. She’s previously also been managing around a couple of seasons as main cast on a Canadian tweens show called Endlings as well theatre work in Toronto.
Most of the Canadian actors in the Discovery bridge crew have other Canadian-based work. Ronnie Rowe Jr who had played Bryce (Communications) is a lead on the BET+/CBC historical drama ‘The Porter’ which is why he’s been replaced by Lt. Christopher.
Thanks for the info. I miss seeing regular characters in episodes, but I can’t fault Ms. Oladejo and other actors for working on other projects. I’m hoping all the characters are there for the final episodes of the series. Including Tilly. Michelle Paradise previously said, “I can’t spoil anything into season five, except to say that we love Tilly. I expect that we’ll have her in the world and all of those things. She’s not going anywhere,” so that’s encouraging.
