Someone asked me my opinion. Someone told me to forget about everything and concertrate on what matters, focus on Johnny, the one who makes me smile, the one who’s humble and the one who above all replies and is thankful to everyone. So I did. But I fuck up explaining a lot but for Johnny I offer my support and love.
I didn’t know that I truly liked this man until an illness threatened to take him away from me and now everyone else threatens that too. To write him out of a season, that his character features in, is beyond a joke. I don’t know what happened but I can imagine the pain and sickness he went through to find after seven dedicated years production won’t give him the time of day nor invite him back to reprise his role.
To be tossed aside because you’ve battling because you couldn’t get out of bed makes me angry. I fight for who I love and who I love is this Canadian boy so to see him become an asshole, to become the enemy when he’s given seven years to something he clearly loves, even with illness breaks my heart.
Hudson and Rex isnt just some tv show, we aren’t fans but family. We have a voice a too and if you are creating a show for the fans it unites I think at least our voices should be heard. I fight for what I believe in, it might not be right but if I can say I’ve tried, rather than say I failed then at least I feel better for it
So, what is a detective without his Rex? But mostly, what is a Rex without his Hudson?

It was a backstabbing move to get rid of an actor after they battled cancer and had to take time to heal. Sickening! Charlie Huson should be brought back. Period. I thought Canada was better then the US in this regard but I guess not.
The whole show is Hudson and Rex what is the point of even continuing if Charlie HUDSON isn't apart of it. John was fighting an illness he could not control but to completely throw him to the side now that he is better is ridiculous and I'm sure the show will suffer because of it!
It's bad enough we have to deal with the loss of the real Rex (Diesel) but now there's no Charlie Hudson (John Reardon)? I have already watched season 7 and am sorry to say that it's lacking JR so if you don't bring him back I wont be watching season 8.
Hi! I'm very glad that someone is finally doing something to get Charlie back! I live in Hungary, but of you want, I am happy to help you spread your petition even in Hungary. Good luck and remember, át least you are doing something!
John Reardon brought Charlie Hudson to life for us the fans. I have watched all episodes many times. There can’t be Hudson and Rex without John Reardon. Please bring him back to the show.
It won't be the same. Reardon is so likable compared to the other guy. I've been no longer watching it
Bring back Charlie please.

This is the worst decision in the show's history. A great way to kill the series. I have nothing against Luke Roberts, but he's good in Ransom. The one and only Hudson is John Reardon. I don't know who made this decision, but he'd be better off finding another career.
