Oh @#$%, Are They Replacing Peter on Fringe?
If you’re a regular Fringe watcher — and you should be — you know the character of Peter is in a bit of a… well, let’s just say predicament after the events of last season’s finale. But I was unaware that meant they were recasting the role? Topless Roboteer Warren G. Harding sent me this secret video footage of actors auditioning for Peter, and it includes some known actors, so it’s clearly not a fake. Honestly, not that Joshua Jackson is the world’s greatest thespian or anything, but I have a hard time seeing any of these guys as Peter. I only hope this is for some alternate universe story, or maybe this is just some temporary thing, which could make sense given the cliffhanger, maybe? If only I could convince myself this was all some stupid joke!
