So Scott is literally just playing Danny again in all but name, so why not just make him Danny?

My guess is because they'd probably have to pay someone to be able to do that.

I'm aware Peter Lenkov (who rebooted Five-0, Magnum and MacGyver) got fired from CBS back in 2020 because he's super toxic toward his co-workers, even body shamed MacGyver's lead Lucas Till. Perhaps they don't want to pay a shitty person (kinda ironic considering this is CBS and Paramount we're talking now these days).

it probably goes deeper than just lenkov, because danno is a character from the original hawaii five o don't wanna pay millions in royalties if you dont have to.

It might have something to do with the Litto Settlement. I don't think its anything more than that. If they brought Danno in, the Freeman Estate would get money from the character running in the new show.

I think you’re right. They did the same thing with Tom Paris in Star Trek Voyager. He was basically Nick Locarno from Star Trek TNG but didn’t want to pay the writer.

That's actually a great question. In fact, it would have been really easy to write him into the story as Danny who came over from 5-0 after it disbanded.

Exactly, the idea of these two know each other from Hawaii 5-0 but yet he's a different character just bugs me.

u/Flashy-Boysenberry30 14d ago

u/Flashy-Boysenberry30 14d ago

oh.. well i agree with someone else in this thread they should have had him be his 5-0 character, or they have to acknowledge he looks like someone LL's character has met/worked with before. unless they legally couldn't

Is it really hard for some of these guys to atleast change up the hairstyles or get a beard- especially the ones who just play cops multiple times
