'That's So Raven' 2016: Will Original Cast Join 'The View' Host Raven-Symone?
"That's So Raven" will not be a hit without the successful comedic timing and chemistry of all the cast. While Disney has yet to confirm who will be back for the "That's So Raven" spinoff, the company may be forced to cut one of the original cast out.
Orlando Brown was arrested early this year after allegedly striking his girlfriend. This domestic situation may have potentially caused Orlando Brown to be replaced as Eddie in "That's So Raven" spinoff.
"That's So Raven" is popularly known as a family sitcom, so having Orlando Brown may lose the authenticity of the show and may lose viewers along the process. The original cast of "That's So Raven" includes Rondell Sheridan, T'Keyah Crystal Keymah, Kyle Massey, David Henrie, and more.
