I was running through my head that back in the 60's and 70's tv shows it seems to be common to replace charactors with differnet actors and we weren't supposed to notice? i can currently think of three--
The Munsters Marylin originally was Beverly Owen and was replaced by Pat Priest
The Partridge Family Chris was originall played by Jeremy Gelbwaks and was replaced by Brian Forester
And ofcourse the Dicks -- on Bewitched Disk York was replaced by Dick Sargent.
To further confuse things. Towards of the end of the Roseanne series, both Beckys, (Sarah Chalke & Lecy Goranson) were used in the filming of the show.
I hate to admit that I watched "Dynasty" when it was on, but they changed the actor who played the son, Stephen, about halfway through the series. I don't remember the names of either of the actors, they were both so forgettable, but the way they did it really ticked me off, and I stopped watching soon after that, it just wasn't credible any more. They had the guy working on an oil rig or something and there was an accident, his face was messed up so he had plastic surgery. The doctors didn't know what he looked like before, so they just did the best they could. So he came out looking different, but that didn't explain why he now had a different build and height as well as a new face. You sould think they could have found a replacement actor that had more in common with the old one than just blond hair! -TD
