[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 11779, member: 27"] No need to be ashamed! Keep in mind that when Jensen Buchanan was hired, she was a very easy-going actress who was happy she had a high-profile gig (the highest of her career to that point). She signed on to play the girls and the show continued to write for them as two separate entities. It wasn't until later (like, two years later or so) that JB let the popularity go to her head and made noises that she wanted what I call special treatment (though I would not call it diva behavior at that point). I lost some of my respect for her since the show allowed itself to be held hostage to JB's wants and needs, and began to resent her when all these concessions were made at the expense of other characters/situations on the show. I won't go into too much detail, but suffice it to say the good old days of Anne Heche taking whatever they threw at her and working her butt off to make it work were over. It was much easier to take once they stopped over-doing Vicky's make-up in an effort to help the audience recognize JB's Vicky against JB's Marley, but I never really thought JB and Paul Michael Valley had the same magic that PMV and Heche had. JB did very well with Mark Pinter, though--I assume they screen-tested Pinter with JB to be sure of this, though. Vicky and Grant's complicated relationship for the remainder of the show's run was impressive. [/QUOTE]
