A few weeks ago, Fox announced that Molly Ephraim would not be returning to the revival of Last Man Standing. Today, they announced who will be taking over her role and
Molly McCook is the new Mandy Baxter. When the news got out, she wrote “I am speechless and overwhelmed. So excited for this opportunity. Hope I do y’all proud ♥️.”
The actress has recurred on The Ranch, next year she will be seen in several episodes of The Fosters spinoff Good Trouble and has guest starred on several shows. McCook’s father John plays Eric Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful since 1987, a soap opera she also appeared on.
No word if she will dye her blonde hair black like Ephraim’s. I have a feeling she won’t and they will find a way to make jokes about it.
Last Man Standing moves to Fox on September 28th.
