[QUOTE="Jock Og, post: 250015, member: 17"] Ana was let go under the orders of Michael Filerman. He was involved with the show from the very beginning but then took very much a back seat, in the latter part of season 1. He returned for the 8th season with creative control; making the decision to introduce a new family the Ortegas, in an attempt to bring a more earthy feel after the 'everything and the kitchen sink' season 7 (which was very entertaining). One of the Ortega characters was Pilar and she was around a similar age to Melissa, just as good looking dare I say it maybe even better but not as feisty or shrewd. So Melissa's fate was sealed but like Sheree J. Wilson in twilight DALLAS Ana was contracted to the end of the season. Michael just didn't know what more he could do with Melissa and Ana was vocal about this, in a diplomatic way. In addition to receiving all her bucks Ana got extra on top for five episodes, portraying doppelgänger Samantha Ross. This was an attempt by Michael Filerman to all but admit he had made a mistake and to throw a life jacket, to a now ailing show. [B]Samantha Ross (played by core cast member Ana Alicia) is on the phone, in the FC living room to someone in Chicago. Angela wants her to testify for the prosecution in the case against Richard. Pilar goes to the living room, just as Samantha finishes her conversation, (a scene from season 8, 1988-'89): Pilar: "So what kind of work do you do Samantha?" Samantha: "I'm a photographer." Pilar: "Oh! You met Richard on the job." Samantha: "Why are you so interested?" Pilar: "I'm just curious. Now what kind of woman would've agreed to do what Richard asked?" Samantha: "The kind of woman who is very interested in money and something tells me you just might understand that." Pilar raises her infamous eyebrow. This happens when she is annoyed. Angela joins them: "Oh you see Pilar understands a great deal about money."[/B] [/QUOTE]
