Thanks. To me Connor and Lance weren't that much alike, but who knows.
I have probably asked this before too but did Connor's exit bother you?
Anyway, I found and watched a March 2002 episode...I didn't realize Susan still had that dark, long, bone-straight hair at this time. I also didn't know Darcy worked as a doctor with Karl's practice. They were fighting because of the receptionist (?), Serena. Was she the one later killed in the plane crash?
Meanwhile, Toadie was living with a blonde woman, and her daughter (or maybe not her daughter, I don't know), and Mark, a young guy with dark hair. I think I remember Mark from an earlier episode with his brother? He was staying with Toadie temporarily and Toadie and the woman wanted him to move back home.
Steph was dating a hot guy who was in business, and Lyn went from being thrilled at the idea of Steph moving away from trashy guys to being disturbed when she actually met him. At the end he and Steph kissed, but I guess based on Lyn's reaction, it would end badly.
The opening credits at that time are a little confusing. Susan is with one group of women, including Libby and Steph, and Lyn is with a bunch of women I don't really know, like Olly or Lolly, Maggie, etc. I wonder why they didn't go by family.
