If Ackroyd had been available for KL, then it's possible the show would've remained very middle-class, as I can't see his Gary getting mixed up in things like Wolfbridge or Empire Valley.

I agree.
I, myself, might've casted maybe 2 or 3 actors from LOVING to work on TC, but not to play their characters on the former show. Otherwise, TC needed to distance itself from LOVING entirely, if it had any chance at all of survival.

I see what you mean, lol.
Yeah, in retrospect, courting MF like that doesn't make too much sense. (Maybe they were going after people who still remembered FLAMINGO ROAD and PAPER DOLLS fondly?)
On the other hand, I'm at a loss as to naming someone who still was a big name in '95 AND who would've been willing to (relocate to NYC and) headline a brand-new soap. Susan Lucci might've gotten people at least to sample the show, but no way was ABCD gonna let her leave AMC, lol.

The only thing I can think is they were done with Loving but didn't have a GH spinoff ready, although that probably doesn't make sense as they had to spend a lot of time and money on setting up and promoting The City ,and Morgan's salary. They must have had some hope for trying the radical (on paper anyway) changes of The City while also recognizing the talented cast they would be losing with Loving. But it was probably never going to click, even if they hadn't wasted the first months of The City.

Frankly, it never made sense to me that ABCD would launch a brand-new soap (and one that promised to turn many soap conventions on their proverbial heads) with characters from one that never gained any traction in the ratings. Why not spin off characters from AMC, OLTL or GH instead?

Yes, Kurt was Canadian. I thought they had said Hillary had a half-brother. Or if Mike had still been in town, they could've given him a long-lost son.
Maybe they should've stuck with Kurt/Roxie a bit longer, tying him into the Shaynes for a while. Characters not tied into a family really need a strong actor, and Mark Lewis wasn't it.

They could have paired him with TRACY.
