What makes it kind of more insulting is that Edward and Henry play a big role in the creation of Thomas as a whole. Heck, did you know that Edward was the first character to be created by Reverend W. Awdry? Not Thomas? And here they are right up getting rid of him from the main cast.

From what I hear, the reason why they are doing the removal of the two characters because apparently... the original steam team was "sexist", so they need more female characters to make the show more "politically correct". I'm not against the idea of adding females into your main cast, but why couldn't they just add these characters while keeping the old cast too? Oh yeah, and I think they're getting rid of Toby from the cast too.

TTTE and Shining Time Station have been a huge part of my childhood, and to see such a drastic change in a big part of my young life is so affecting to me.
