Liberty City

The first part was quite good, but the second I did not enjoy as much.

They really were.

Dying to start watching this soap. Wish a platform other than BritBox would pick it up.

I am hooked on this soap, and usually wait for 20 to 25 episodes to build up, and then do a binge watch.

My dream Sarah Webber recast would be Bethany Joy Lenz.

Considering getting into this series. Love David Boreanaz and Max Thieriot.

This franchise needs a major break. There is nothing about it enticing to watch.

It irks me how horribly Pamela was handled from the getgo. She was continually mentioned, and had some great material at the beginning. And while Shirley Anne Field did quite well, I do understand Bridget Dobson's desire to hire Marj Dusay for the role, and the idea of making Pamela a Lucinda Walsh-esque character could have been amazing. The character assassination of Santana Andrade, brought on by multiple misrecasts, is one of the worst things to happen to Santa Barbara. That first year a lot of mistakes were made, casting and story wise. Her response is kind of funny, because Bridget & Jerome Dobson were executive producers during her entire run. Only the co-executive producer changed, twice, during her duration in the role. When Lazar joined, Jeffrey Hayden was co-executive producer. When she left, Mary-Ellis Bunim was the co-executive producer. I think the fact they dyed her hair darker was another mistake, and it was clear they were trying to re-paint Santana into an anti-Eden and Kelly looking character (a.k.a. blonde). I feel like TPTB kept teasing pairings for Julia, and they just did not commit to any of them. Lazar was perfectly cast as Santana Andrade. Margaret Michaels got off rough, but, by the conclusion of her run she was beginning to embody the role.. and her fashion slowly began getting better. But, with recast, the role kept being destroyed. I could have seen Santana becoming somewhat of a Phyllis Summers-type character, where Brandon was concerned, and truly pushing her interior design company, which is only storyline I felt like was dropped.
