Beckham Skodje obviosuly couldn't play Ethan as a preteen because he wasn't the appropriate age since he's clearly still in early grade school while St. John Myers is notcebaly in either middle school or Jr high. Making it impossible for the same child actor to stay in the same role after a time jump! You could argue the same about Lina Renna playing a younger Madi but with the case of Ethan they did the reverse first they casted a young child actor Beckham Skodje in this case and Ethan's character naturally aged during the Time Jump who grew up to be St. John Myers's version of Ethan. I have brought this up with the admins already, but basically have gotten nowhere with them so I wanted to what the rest of you guys think about this.
