[QUOTE="tommie, post: 227190, member: 370"] Yeah, even having Stacey Galina return as Mary Frances lookalike Kate was another plot that seemed pulled from the Ciji / Cathy mold (which was before L&L's time on the show, but still) - except again, with not as good results. While it's more likely that cousins would bear a strong resemblance to each other than a random stranger, Cathy looking like Ciji was an important plot point since it was necessary for *all* characters to see it. If anything, I feel like the Greg taking on/treating Kate as a surrogate daughter would've been more successful if they had two different actresses playing the characters as it would've underlined the more worrying and even disturbing aspects of the situation; you could have had either Greg or Claudia trying to get Kate to dress or act like Mary Frances and it would've come across as creepy. Hell if they wanted to throw the actress playing Mary Frances (if not Galina) a bone they could've even had Greg being potentially slightly delusional at points "seeing" Mary Frances only to do a double take and it's Kate.
