After portrayer Billy Miller decided to walk away from the show in January of this year, former portrayer David Tom was cast in the role.

And while it was Miller’s decision to leave the character he’d played since 2008, the same cannot be said for Tom, who was reportedly very surprised to learn he’d been replaced with Jenkins after just four months of being back in the role! So what happened to lead to such a quick casting turnaround?
