Did Ruby Rose Quit?

Oh, ok... I thought it was this one. I can't see them casting her if she isn't openly out. But she does have the right look. I didn't realize she played a Vulcan on Picard.

I hope they make an announcement soon.

I suspect if Peyton is selected, there will be some backlash as she apparently came out as bisexual in 2017

You're talking about the wrong Peyton List.

It's easy to get confused because the two actresses have the same name, but the Peyton List in question here is Peyton Elizabeth List, and information about her sexual orientation isn't publicly available.

Now, some fans are pondering if they may kill Kate and let Sophie take on the mantel... I do not like that idea at all... so fingers crossed they don't go that route.

Yeah, it's completely bizarre ideas like that that I read a lot too the last days. Really weird explanations and storylines included.
But I'm 99% sure that they will just exahnge the actress and pretend that nothing has happened.
By far the easiest and best solution.

I suspect if Peyton is selected, there will be some backlash as she apparently came out as bisexual in 2017. I suspect many will feel a lesbian should be cast. I remember the backlash from within the LGBTQ community when Ruby made a non binary remark. I could be wrong and I do hope the new Kate is given a fair chance by fans.

Now, some fans are pondering if they may kill Kate and let Sophie take on the mantel... I do not like that idea at all... so fingers crossed they don't go that route.

The thing that might be holding up Peyton E. List being confirmed as the new Kate Kane may be her recurring role on the CBS All Access Original Star Trek Picard.

Since the producers have said they will be seeking an actress from the LGBTQ community, I do think that the actress from the LGBTQ community should be one that has been open about her LGBTQ status and not someone believed to be straight and suddenly announces they are bisexual/ pansexual for the part.

Another question... will new Kate have tattoos?

The suspense is killing me but I trust the folks behind the show. They have accomplished great things throught season 1.

Wallis Day's sexual orientation isnt, as far as I could determine, publicly known.

I think a lot of people think she might be because of tweets like these:

https://twitter.com/wallisday/status/878511143614132225

Unless the actress actually says so though, it's largely speculation.

Oh, just found this, not related to sexuality, but just more about the fan-base enthusiasm:

@athena69

Wallis is wearing a Superman shirt likely because she starred in the Superman prequel Krypton for two seasons on SyFy... Superman's [and possibly's Supergirl's] grandmother... she was my favorite on the show. I think she could hold her own against the fabulous Rachel Skarsten.

@Siggi

I think its awesome Katie O'Brian responded, regardless of the meaning behind it. I kept hoping they'd give her more of a heroic turn on Black Lightning.

I also tweetet about my blog post and Katy O'Brian actually responded with:

"I’m here to confirm this as a definite rumor on my end "
-
Hmh, that can be interpreted in different ways

@@athena69 Wallis Day's sexual orientation isnt, as far as I could determine, publicly known. I had identified her as being bisexual, but discovered that I had confused her IRL sexual orientation with the sexual orientation of her Krypton character Nyssa Vex-El.

And the rumor isn't just that they're looking for someone who has previously appeared on The CW, but that they're looking for someone who has appeared on the network "frequently" (IOW, "regularly" or "often" ) .

With starring, recurring, or guest appearances on 7 different CW series stretching back to 2005, Peyton E. List is the one actress who fits said rumor almost to a 'T'.

^ I wonder why so many sites posts lists where most candidates doesn't fit into the wanted profile???

Maybe they don't know the criteria, or maybe they just don't care and think it's not that important?

If it's true that the CW is looking for an alumni, that does not mean it has to be a recent alumni, or (especially) someone from within the Arrowverse. After all, Rachel Skarsten is an alumni from 18 years ago! Technically, yes, in the Arrowverse, but from an alternate earth, and they did establish that the same person can show up as different people on different earths, so we have a precedence. I think y'all should consider casting your nets a bit wider. The cwseed.com lists 47 retired shows. There's a lot of potential there. Maybe it doesn't have to be a CW alumni, but certainly someone who's been a regular on more than one TV show. And, has some fight training.

I'm also going to throw out that I know they want someone from the LGBTQ+ community, I think what they really mean/need is someone who is openly gay already. None of this, she dated a guy in the past, and oh, look, this awesome role that would be fabulous for her career is just opened, so now suddenly "it was a mistake, I'm really a lesbian" or "even tho I've never dated a girl, I'm really bi-sexual". No. Personally, I think she should be specifically a lesbian, not bi, because that opens it up too much for arguments by those that don't understand to assume that bisexual means "she's just experimenting, but they'll have her marry a guy at some point before the end of the show's run". By all means, have a bisexual character on the show (Julia is a prime candidate), but not Kate.

I really don't think Peyton could (or should) be considered since she already has an established role in the current Arrowverse. And her sexuality is presumed hetero, but certainly not openly lez/bi.

As for Wallis, she is vegan (as is Ruby, and why they made Kate vegan), so there's a plus. She's a Virgo, so she should get along with Rachel and Megan (couldn't find birthdates for the others). Apparently, she's out as bisexual. I think she looks a lot like a young Helen Slater, which I'm guessing she apparently get told a lot, cuz she's wearing a Superman t-shirt in her FB cover photo. I agree she has the right look, but I think she also looks too young.

But my guess is that Caroline and team are likely considering a lot of actresses that we don't even know about!

Thanks for the info!
I updated the info and added some of your entries to it.
And don't take everyone because I use "mostly known for" as the start of the list.

@Siggi: You might consider updating your first article on potential Ruby Rose replacements with every single one of Peyton E. List's CW credentials, because they're really extensive.

CW series she's starred in or appeared in, along with the characters she's played:
* Smallville (Lucy Lane)
* One Tree Hill (Solaris Coburn)
* 90210 (Lindsey Beckwith)
* The Tomorrow People (Cara Coburn)
* The Flash (Lisa Snart/Golden Glider)
* Frequency (Raimy Sullivan)
* Charmed (Nadia),

If we're being technical, her Smallville and One Tree Hill appearances were for The WB Network, but it and The CW are essentially one and the same, so they still count.

^ I wonder why so many sites posts lists where most candidates doesn't fit into the wanted profile???
Especially Stephnie Beatriz gets named very often. She doesn't fit at all in my opinion (age, look, fitness).
-
So far Wallis Day is my favorite from the names I read more often.
I made a post about it on my blog (my top 3 candidates so far).

Here is Looper's list of candidates:
https://www.looper.com/211169/underrated-actresses-who-could-replace-ruby-rose-as-batwoman/

Stephanie Beatriz
Jane Levy
Rachelle Lefevre
Bridget Regan
Phoebe Tonkin
Ashley Platz
Alexandra Daddario

Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn 99) and Billy Eichner (AHS) are having a lot of fun it seems campaigning to be the next Batwoman.

The way this is going, I wonder how upset many people might be if she doesn't get cast now.

I mean, in only a few days there's been quite a lot of hype about Wallis Day as Batwoman. Hasn't been this level of response for the other potentials, that I've seen.

Love the artist work with Wallis... she is striking as Batwoman.

An artist put Wallis Day into the cowl!
Oddly enough in one of the old ones, but hey, it works:

@Bratty_Bat

Absolutely is a whopping issue, especially for Flash fans - Lisa Snart was no one off single ep character.

Yep, I totally agree with you on this one! Which would mean that Katy O'Brian is also out.

After reading the Marc Guggenheim article...or will they be someone else taking over as Batwoman (because Kate Kane went MIA...?!?

Have a re-read. You've misinterpreted. No, they are not replacing Kate Kane

Hmm, well, I'm not convinced that I did misinterpret, I think there's a lot of wiggle room in his comments. But then, I was just thinking out loud. I can see the pros and cons either way, and we can go down the rabbit hole of which route is "better" or "worse" until January 2021, and then argue about why they made the right/wrong choice. I see this as an opportunity for us as fans to have a discussion. What do we think might happen? What do we want to happen? What would happen if...? But maybe that's a topic for another post?

@CatPat

I know you can't please everyone all the time. I do trust Caroline Dries judgement and suspect she and her team will pick a solid replacement and I hope whoever is picked is given a fair chance. I hate that Ruby left. I thought she was well cast, but she wanted out and fans should not hold it against her replacement.

Yes! This! (dammit, where's the applause emoticon?!?) I don't watch enough TV to know what possible choices are out there, so I'm just gonna wait and see.
