I do agree with this possible strategy they will take, but perhaps I'm thinking more subtle updates in the "Friend like me" section and also the "Some people are worth melting for" sections ... I think they will keep at least half of the existing visuals, but switch up the other 50% with newer characters.
If Josh was on stage today MULTIPLE times literally referencing the lyrics of the HEA song, I really don't think A LOT will be changing. And lastly, I can't see them completely removing the Go the Distance pre-finale ... IDK maybe new characters appear on the castle along with the gold plating, but come on. That entire sequence is absolutely incredible and would be a shame if they removed it completely.
