Members AMCHistory Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 As much as it pains me to say it, and I am sure a lot of AMC fans would burn me at the stake, I actually really liked this temporary recast: Especially since it was not like Nader was even trying to act well anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 I wish someone would post Carole Shelley as Iris. Not sure when I'll get my hands on those eps... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Abaddo was his usual bland hunky self, but this had nothing to do with Dimitri or anything Dimitri had been as a character. If I could upload to Youtube then I would put the Shelley scenes with Mac and Rachel in her last few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I liked Abaddo as Dimitri. He was no Michael Nader and all the ethnicity of the character was removed with the recast, but I thought he was adequate enough.

Members DRW50 Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 That was my problem with the recast - there was nothing left of Dimitri. There hadn't been for quite a while anyway, so it was probably for the best they dumped the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 In the longterm I might agree but they needed to someone there to write the character off and for the short 4 months he was there, I thought he was an adequate replacement. Im not sure I would have wanted him to stick around indefinetely, but I had no problem with him being there as they wrote the characters off the canvas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree with you there, I was speaking mostly of some comments over the years and at the time which said he should have stayed, he was great, etc. I think Nader was what made the character work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks In advance. Ive waited to see her Lauren for a while now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Your welcome, can't wait to post it. She was interesting. She only had 1 scene and 75 % of it was just her voice since she was calling Scott from Los Angeles. They pretty much styled her hair like Lauren's and added (at least what i think ) a bit of red in it. I think she tried doing Tracey Bregman's nasal voice back then too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 oooo... I would love to see this. Tracey was such a compelling actress at that time. I would love to see what someone else did with the Lauren role. What prompted her departure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Tracey was just on marternity leave. She had just given birth to her son Austin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 I always have to wonder, with so much time to prepare an actresses' maternity leave, how does production still necessitate a recast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
