They actually did cast Julie Anne Haddock in a guest starring role once as the leader of a group Julie Kanisky wants to join.

[quote]Why did they make the drastic changes anyways?

Low ratings and I suspect they were told to try to retool and fix the show. The original cast was too big of cast and a lot of the original girls really did not have much of a presence. The actually did a good job of keeping the right characters and Jo was a much better foil for Blair than the blonde and brunette they had the first season. I know Molly Ringwald got the last laugh, but she was really nothing special on the show and I can see why they let her go. Has she really clicked in anything besides the trilogy of John Hughes movies she did?

by Anonymousreply 192April 5, 2019 2:08 AM

They did make the right choices for the most part. Nancy was dud. Sue Anne annoyingly perky. Molly was the least interesting of the two younger girls. I liked Cindy. I think her detriment was being blonde. If she was a brunette like Nancy McKeon, they could've easily etched the Jo character into Cindy. I think Cindy's parents were divorced and came from a blue collar family.

Talk about taking the bad.

The Pick Up Artist was filmed during the summer of '86. Even if Molly didn't have another commitment, she wouldn't have done it. Even if she wasn't bitter for being canned, she was hot shit at the time. I doubt her manager would've had the girl on the cover of Time magazine do a guest spot on FOL, which was practically out to pasture by then.
