Character history
Chris Brown (roommate) was not testing well with audiences and was written out of the series at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season due to the inability of the writers to come up with any worthwhile plotlines for him after his marriage to Melissa Bostic. Replacing him in the cast is David Wilson, an accounting major, intended as less of a counterpart for Tommy and Dylan and instead more of a foil who doesn’t share the “sciency-ness” of the original trio. David signs on as the new roommate at 320 Brown, taking over Chris’ lease and room. Casting took place in Spring of 2012 with classifieds in local papers.
