If this continues down the road, it will be bad for the franchise. First Medina (Cole/Deker) and now Naufahu (Grumm/Ji). It's like a huge batch of bad luck is glued to the show itself.
Saban better do something about it or there will be a final cancellation of PR soon.

I know the franchise itself has gone trough many good and bad things, but if the trend of the cast members going into crime mode continues, it might be the final nail in the coffin for Power Rangers. No-one is going to let their children watch a show whose actor is accused and/or tried for a serious crime. It doesn't matter if its an actor from the present or from a past season: this is bad not just for the franchise's/show's reputation, but for Saban's and Nickelodeon's reputation as well.

Not to discount the seriousness of what Medina and now Naufahu has done, but I don't think this will hurt PR in the end. Both of their crimes didn't have anything to do with the series or their time in it. And both are long gone from the series. Rene's case didn't even seem to get the publicity here Medina did.

Now of you have a string of actors continuinally get in trouble, things may be different. But we haven't had too many of these incidents. And none have taken place on the set or anything to do with Power Rangers.

Saban Brands had nothing to do with any of this. And can only try and do good background checks on its future employees. Which wouldn't have helped in tthe above situations since both were long gone.

Miki does have a slight point but it really doesn't matter what other cast members do since it's not going to hurt the franchise sure the fans may say "Samurai" is cursed but that's just life and at least it wasn't any of the actual Rangers.

Yes Rene's didn't get the same publicity that Ricky's did here but that's because they're both different. Rene was just a Mentor in Samurai and he was just a suited villain in S.P.D. whereas Medina was an actual Ranger. Most people aren't going to know about Gruumm or Ji but if you say a Power Ranger murdered or killed someone then it'll create publicity just by the mentioning of the famed role it doesn't matter if they were MMPR, Zeo, Turbo, Space, Time Force, Dino Thunder, Mystic or RPM all you have to say is that a Power Ranger murdered/killed someone and that's enough to generate press.

You are correct about your other points though. Saban can only do so much with background checks and at least we haven't had any issues come up while their shows were in-production.

Its a very bad thing. But I don't see Power Rangers suffering unless it becomes a pattern. But even then how can you blame production if they have nothing to do with it? None of this is happening on set or while these actors worked on the show.

And with Rene it was very likely pre-meditated. He knew what he was doing with thlse acting students. Ricardo is responsible for his friend's death. But its debatable as to whether he really meant to kill him. Both deserve to answer for their crimes regardless.

exactly and no matter how you look at it in Ricky's case the person was still killed and we'll never know what truly happened since they were the only ones there sure one could claim someone had multiple stab wounds which isn't indicative of self defense and while that maybe true we really have no clue what was really going on between the 2 it's possible the friend kept on coming for him despite the stab wounds.
