If Lola is older it may make it so the character of Madi can appear in more episodes. Since Madi is Clarke's surrogate daughter I imagine she'll play a big part in the season. If Imogen is young than she'd probably not be able to work a lot, thereby reducing Madi to a smaller character when she is supposed to be an important character.

Now it does stink that they did recast the character, but since she played such a minor role in the finale it could be ok. Honestly if I hadn't come here I probably won't have noticed the difference when the show came back. Hardcore fans will most likely notice the difference, but the average viewer probably won't recognize the difference.

If they get a good actress that can convince the average audience to think it's the same actress than it won't be a problem, but if the average Audience notices then there is a problem.

I heard that Imogen can't do the show because she doing other projects. Am I wrong?
