[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 446006, member: 27"] Tracy was brought in to "replace" Sydney, in the sense that show needed a solid daytime star to anchor the series. I seem to recall Jane Elliot (who walks on water as far as I'm concerned) had a backstage role in [I]The City[/I], either a producer or writer. That could have been given to her as an enticement to join the series, but I can't recall. Had they been able to develop [I]The City[/I] intentionally as a star vehicle for Tracy Q/Jane Elliot, it might have allowed them to have that "focus" that you observed was missing in the opening weeks. She had (still has) a history of railing against mob/mafia figures but always ends up falling in love with those kinds of men. ETA: I looked it up: Jane Elliot was hired as a producer when [I]The City[/I] premiered and opted to take on double duty as producer and titular star of the series when they realized the show needed a shot in the arm.
