[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 417073, member: 57984"] I think Tracey Lawton should have been around longer (and not her brother, who was only brought in by Katzman to steal away Roger Grimes) and she should have been the one Bobby married in Paris, April a mere stalker who followed the couple to Europe. Tracey's quirks, and her Romeo-and-Juliet dynamic with Bobby, should have been further explored. (Once Tracey and April die in France, Bobby eventually turns to Cliff's [B]other [/B]ex-girlfriend which creates its own problems). Most of the rest of them didn't really appeal to me very much, or just weren't terribly interesting -- due either to uninspired casting, or mediocre writing for them, or they just possessed no [I]raison d'être[/I]. Nicholas Pierce was okay-ish, but he and his mafia backstory got too much screen time. Kay Lloyd and Cally were acceptably cast but, again, the writing. Carter McKay could have worked but the producers didn't know what they wanted to do with him. And, yes, James needed another less-lackadaisical actor. Everybody felt shoehorned in. [/QUOTE]
