The actor who played Josh was Todd Bridges. Was he the same actor who was in the American tv sit-com "Different Strokes ? Looks like him but I can not be sure as I have not seen that series for quite some time

I can understand different actors playing the characters as they age but I don't understand why Todd originated the role then was replaced only to come back for another episode. That's just weird casting to me.

That's just weird casting to me. That happened with the Patsy Brimmer character. Debbie Gunn was the original Patsy, then Eileen McDonough played Patsy in a couple of episodes, then Debbie Gunn returned to portray Patsy in 3 more episodes. Debbie talked about it in Judy’s recent Behind the scenes video.

I thought Todd Bridges by far was the best Josh and The Stray is a favorite of mine as well as another one of those episodes that the character of John Walton stands so tall.

Todd Bridges was a fine little actor at that point in his life. Decades had a marathon of the show “Fish” of all things earlier this year, and Bridges stole every scene he was in. Excellent comic timing.

Yes, he was a fine child actor, and thankfully seems to have straightened out his life, which spiraled downhill after his years on TV.
