Most Hope and Faith fans know Nicole Paggi played Hope's oldest daughter in season 1, and was replaced by Megan Fox for seasons 2 and 3. I was surprised to find epguides.com had a totally different actress for Sydney named Brie Larson. She isn't even listed in my primetime directory, which is usually more detailed about the cast, for Hope and Faith. Was Brie recast for Nicole after the pilot then?
