victoria foxton Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That's true i didn't think about that. But Lisa's psychic powers were always a bit wonky, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Efulton Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 I remember reading an interview with Donna Swajeski where she said the Vicky/Jamie/Lisa triangle would have turned out differently if Joanna Going would have renewed her contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrnyc Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 @Efulton Thanks for the info! That's definitely interesting to hear. Joanna Going went on to Dark Shadows almost immediately so I always assumed it had been her decision to leave but didn't have it confirmed and didn't want to make any assumptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 I wonder why they never recast Lisa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted May 8, 2018 Members Share Posted May 8, 2018 I always assumed they never recast Lisa because Jenna arrived in 1990 and Lorna in 1991. I would think with two daughters, Felicia no longer needed a niece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 That's true. When did Felicia and Lucas learn that Lorna was their daughter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 1992 is when Lorna was revealed as Felicia/Lucas' daughter. I do recall when Lucas first came on.. that he had thought Lisa was his and Felicia's daughter... and I always wonder if Joanna Going hadn't quit.. if Lisa would have ended up being that long lost daughter.. since she did resemble Felicia. And Felicia was given something to forget she even had a baby to begin with.. so it would have made sense that she was told Lisa was her niece.. and she seemed very maternal toward Lisa, etc. I also think Jenna fulfilled the role that Lisa had provided for Felicia hence why I think Lisa was never recast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Agreed but, I have issues with killing off Lucas too soon. The later attempt to revisit with the other character played by the same actor was also a bomb. Lucas was interesting character and allowed Felicia to head her own insta-family. He would have been a good Mac replacement as an older guy in town who was still a catch for single gals. Although his mob involvement may have been an annoyance to me as a fan because I never enjoyed mob stories, there were plenty of other avenues to explore. He was also a good foil for the Harrison's and would have provided an interesting alternative power base. Lucas could have had other kids, ex-wives, or other family members. So, I really feel like his story potential was ruined by killing him soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Exactly why did John Aprea leave AW the first time? I know he was recurring on Full House on the West Coast at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 That could have been the reason. I'm not sure if he left on his own or whether the storyline dictated his exit so they could begin the Felicia alcoholism storyline. Aprea's second character, Alexander Nikos, started with potential- a Lucas lookalike with a vendetta against Carl Hutchins- Carl had an affair with Alexander's dead wife, Diana. After a few months, Alexander's storyline became a plot driven mess with Amanda posing as Hadley Prescott to interfere in Rachel and Carl's marriage, Alexander and Carl fighting on the top of penthouse roof causing Felicia to fall through the skylight, Alexander kidnapping Rachel, burying her in a coffin, in a church that was about to demolished, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is this Christine Jones in the Volvo ad? At first I thought it was Rose Alaio but she reminds me a little more of Christine. Or is she too old to be Christine? It's about 3 minutes in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sure looks and sounds like her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 10, 2018 Members Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yup, I remember that whole mess. Felicia's falling through the skylight was written in to facilitate Linda Dano's real-life facelift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members denzo30 Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 I always thought Meryl Streep in her Devil Wears Prada would have been a great replacement for Carmen. Def not a replacement for Bev. Dixie Carter also had mannerism and spoke much like Carmen Duncan. I would love to hear other thoughts. Carol Shelley seemed more like Iris when she temporary replaced Bev but she def has no similarities to Carmen I think the constant recasts of Jamie's were just overkill. I did not watch the show much during the 90's but would have cared less if I ever saw Jamie again. By time you got comfortable with Jamie a new actor was playing the role. However, if they were able to lure Lau back that would have worked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
