Her name was missing from the opening credits!?

TV_Fan · 04-16-2008, 09:15 PM

I noticed that too and she wa snowhere in the episode

What is going on with this show? I think it's a bad idea to replace actresses and eliminate characters without any type of warning.

Exactly, I check up on BTY news everyday and heard nothing about this.

Looks like BTY is getting an extreme makeover, unfortunately.

I don't mind them replacing Gracie, although the new Gracie looks like she's 5 years younger than the old one, but it pisses me off that they got rid of the Montana character.

And what's the deal with that Margaret character? I hope she's not going to become a regular.

It was great to finally see Marsh's wife though. She cracked me up.

I hope she'll be a recurring character.

I don't mind introducing new characters. I always thought they needed one or two extra characters, but NOT at the expense of Ayda Field.

You'd think there would be some sort of news about this before the episode even aired. I guess they felt it wasn't important.

Mr. Television · 04-16-2008, 10:12 PM

and they probably won't even mention what happened to her. I hate when tv shows do that.

I noticed that, too. The sarcastic weather girl was my favorite character on
the show. She was funny, pretty. Glad that I'm not the only one who missed
her. I thought she was a very good supporting character.

I guess it's all about adjustments and maybe they feel the Montana character contributed nothing to the show. But i know the first little girl who played Gracie must be heart-broken to be replaced but someone else. I don't think you do that to an girl that young, if anything just ELIMINATE her but not replace her with another giel at her age. That's just mean

They couldn't really eliminate her since she's a big part of the story but I do agree with you about the replacement. We've invested a lot of time getting to know the other actress and it hurts the continuality of the show when they do this. I wonder why she left? I liked her scenes with Kelsey. It just won't have the same effect when they tell her he's her father because we're not used to this new actress.

I couldn't stand Montana at first. Then when she finally grew on me, they dumped her.

Exactly, I suppose Laura Marano lacked the "cute" factor and went with somebody younger. As for Montana, she didn't have time to develop fully so to speak. Solomon, you must investigate this! lol

I really thought Laura Marano was great for the part - a sassy 10 year old. Then they replace her with the other girl, and she seems like she's 5 years old-LOL. I really wanted to see how Gracie would react when she found out that Chuck's her father, but personally, it won't seem righ when that actually happens in the next couple episodes.

And for Montana, she was great on the show! I don't see the need to replace her at all. It probably has to do with budget cuts. I really don't see any other way they would entirely get rid of a great character that was growing on all of us, and bring in a new one (probably for cheaper pay).
