The reboot of \u201cThe Golden Girls\u201d is set to start filming as soon as the show\u2019s producers finish building the cast. So far, they\u2019ve filled the roles for Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, but finding the perfect Dorothy has been a challenge.<\/p>\n
One thing casting director Joe Barron says he refuses to do is give in to \u201cwoke culture\u201d and hand the role to someone on name recognition alone. \u201cI won\u2019t even consider Whoopi Goldberg,\u201d he said, \u201cshe\u2019s toxic on any set.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dorothy character has to be a bit brazen and even a little unlikeable, but for the most part, the audience has to rally around her for the show to be successful. They may be much better off going with someone like Roseanne Barr or Patricia Heaton.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve already caved a bit on the wokeness, with Bette Midler cast as Rose and Jane Fonda playing Blanche. They did, however, toss in some political diversity by giving the role of Sophia to Kevin Sorbo, who had to agree to play her non-binary.<\/p>\n
\u2018We need to toss a conservative in there to balance the scales,\u201d said Barron, \u201cwe\u2019re honestly hoping Judge Jeannine Pirro will take on the role.<\/p>\n
That would be amazing. As long as it isn\u2019t Whoopi Goldberg, it doesn\u2019t really matter who gets it. Go Bless America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
