Amonsen acknowledged the fans' feelings but emphasized her commitment to the role and to honoring the character's legacy. She said:
"I understand there’s a lot of love for Andrew’s portrayal. I’m here to bring my own interpretation while respecting what came before."
Despite the criticism, Amonsen remains dedicated to her new role and looks forward to contributing to the series’ success.
The recasting stirred controversy primarily because fans had grown attached to the original actor, but Amonsen’s poised response highlights her respect for the role and the audience’s strong connection to the character.
