Other than Danny, (and later Miriam Colon as Granny Santos) the casting of the Santos' clan was underwhelming. Saundra Santiago wasn't compelling enough to be the new "Big Bad" in Springfield. All she lacked was a mustache to twirl.
I wouldn't doubt that Long's lack of experience necessitated a co-hw, at least at the beginning. A "decentralized" HW is inexplicable, but I do credit GL's writing core with keeping the show going through the upheaval of the '80s.
I must admit, I'm a little amused by PFS' attitude. What did she expect? Actors to just drop their plans to come in and reshoot whatever she deemed needed fixing?
