It might not good enough explain, but Ethan was already 5 years old when he first appears in season 4, but it was not in flashback, but if the Beckham was cast as 5 years old in season 5, not in flashback, he was already cast before older actor cast as older Ethan appears. Like the actor of Young Bellamy and Octavia appears in flashback, but it doesn’t mean that they recast then recast back to Bob and Marie. And If young Madi appears before older Madi, it would be cast. Because Linda didn’t cast as young Madi for the whole show, it was only for 1 episode in flashback only, same as Young Bellamy and Octavia (even young Clarke and Wells) Imogen was recast obviously because she was replace with Lola (probably Imogen conflict schedule), Beckham already arrive on the show in present time. St. John was recast so it could be show Ethan was grow up as 12 years old. They never show older Ethan in season 4 before Beckham was cast as Young Ethan. Madi already grow up (end of season 4) before we see Young Madi in flashback in beginning of season 5. I don’t know if my explaining is clear. I try.
