She was a good actress, but I dont know if I ever bought her as Cassie. LW's Cassie always acted like she had a chip on her shoulder, even in times of happiness.. while NF's Cassie seemed almost like a stepford wife.

I agree with previous posters that Jennifer Landon was a decent Heather... but I think the problem was that she was cast right before a shake up behind the scenes. Had she been Heather for longer then a few months, I think she might have survived being cut.

I still wonder why she was cut--was it when McTavish returned and Broderick left and some characters were cycled out? Honestly I don't remember her exit--I loved her (she was my first intro to Skye), and her, Janet and Erica as the "Three Witches of PV" were a lot of fun.

The actress still works in Vancouver where I *believe* she looks after a disabled son (it's hard to find a lot of info on her). She has done some amusing lotto commercials lol.

Definitely agree about Julie Pinson as DAYS' Billie. Loved her on PC, but totally blah lifeless on DAYS.

Lots of people loved Signy Coleman as Y&R's Hope, yet just couldn't measure up as a recast plastic surgery Annie Dutton on GL. Cynthia Watros rocked in the role, and Coleman's portrayal was just uninspired.

Signy's an engaging performer, but she wasn't cut out to play a villain, especially Annie. I know there were rumors at that time that the original plan was for Annie to have plastic surgery to look like Cassie, with LW in a dual role. I wonder if that would have been better.
