NaNixon - It's not the same. Julianna replaced Shelby, it's true, but we didn't see Shelby on TV. However, we saw Stephanie played by Julianna for a long time, and for us is Stephanie is Julianna, and it's strange see a new actress and kids will realize. And our discussion is because maybe it's better to create a new character. Maybe Juli appears in the first episode and later appears the new character and maybe Stephy appears sometimes as a guest character, who knows.

I know what you mean, and I agree that a new character would probably be the best way about it. But to me, replacing Julianna wouldn't be the ultimate gamebreaker; as the 'Julianna-Stephanie generation' grows up and stop watching, newer kids who have never seen Julianna before and have not had her ingrained in her minds as Stephanie would be none the wiser.
That said, I wouldn't exactly being ecstatic if the LazyTown team decide to replace her.
"The programme features health guru and Latibær CEO and co-founder Magnús Scheving". Hope he's not the only member of the original cast who stays on!
A season 3 would probably see the return of a few of the original voice actors, and Magnús of course. Stefan returning is possible, yet highly unlikely... and i'm sure we're all aware that Julianna returning would be a Christmas miracle
