Although similar in many ways, Reed was wrong for the role. However, she passed away in 1986 and Geddes returned to her role. Soap operas replace actors all the time though the character remains the same. Dylan O'Brien brings a unique spin to Stiles in the same manner Tom Hiddleston portrayed Loki. 1) There's a big difference between a person having a dispute with the producers and a person being unable to show up because of a major injury.

2) They (the producers), actively go out of their way to film around Dylan's schedule for The Maze Runner series. If they were going to just replace him, they would have done so the moment he was cast for the first Maze Runner film.

There is also a difference between trying to straight up change an actor because of contracting, I've had that discussion before about Cora, and doing it for a plot device knowing the real Stiles/Dylan is coming back
