Also in July, it was announced that Tennant would be appearing in St. In late January, it was reported that Rex had not been picked up as a spring replacement, something that was never suggested as a realistic option but was still under consideration for a fall pickup, something which led the tabloid press to wrongly report the project had been shelved.
