#and since both DT and MS have appeared on screen in women's clothes why on Earth would they recast

I am going to lose my mind if in 12-24 months we see Neil Gaiman appearing in a bit part in a movie and discover that he was referring to himself, with female pronouns, in this answer.

It is not beyond possibility.

Hi Neil! I was wondering, when you said you had made plans to have a 50’s feminine Crowley and Aziraphale in season two, what was your plan? Did you plan to have Michael and David dress up in feminine clothing/wigs/etc, or were you thinking of casting actresses to play them? Or did you not get that far into thinking of it? This question has been bugging me for a while.

We were waiting to see what the writer gave us to see what was needed, but she got busy acting in a movie and stopped and so we never went further than that.

(Lots of people thought it was Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but it wasn't. Different movie, different writer/actress.)
