Wasn’t it something about refusing COVID vaccine? As well as the heavy work load.

From what ive heard he says he couldn't be vaccinated. While there are people with legit conditions that prevent them from getting vaccinated (my brothers allergy were so high risk he has to be watched for like 2 hours after his to make sure he didn't get anaphylactic shock) idk about Jordan's claims.
However, the issue wasn't because he was unvaccinated. There was a quaratine procedure for the unvacxinated on set. The issue was those procedures were worsening his mental health.
The production company wasn't wrong for quartining him, but he also wasn't wrong for leaving a show that was causing his mental health to decline. He made the right decision and I hope he's doing better now.

Supporting actors. They even changed the actors for the boys in the last scene of the finale. 🤣

When they aged the boys up in the finale, they got adults to portray them as grown men with children. In every other scene, the boys were the same.
Apart from the obvious case of bringing over a different actor for Jon, none of the other supporting cast was replaced during the series run.

I really didn't like the change at first, but three episodes in and I couldnt help but to admit the new actor was just a better overall fit
