So why replace some characters and not others. I'd much rather get used to a new actor than have some situations just hanging there.

We believe they are the character, and watch them grow into their character over the years. We remember fondly their history. We stop believing when they change heads and more often than not also change personality. We all remember Nick being repulsed by Todd kissing him.
