Alexandra Krosney Exits Last Man Standing, Role Will Be Recast

[Brian Damage]

Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing brood will look a little different in Season 2.
Alexandra Krosney, who played the eldest daughter of Allen’s Mike and Nancy Travis’ Vanessa, has been let go from the show for creative reasons, TVLine has learned exclusively.
According to sources, the role will be recast.
Next season, Last Man relocates to Fridays at 8/7c, where it will be paired with the new Reba McEntire sitcom Malibu Country.

Why couldn't they recast the middle daughter? She is the one that I can't stand.

God bless you always!!!

^^^ I sent a message to Tim Allen's official Twitter page last night asking that Alexandra be Kristin again.

God bless you and her and Tim always!!!

I haven't watched the episode yet. Is the new girl that bad?

She isn't bad. She just doesn't fit the character because she is so different from the girl that brought Kristin to life.

God bless you two and them always!!!

@TMC1982 Buddy, you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm doing my job & supporting others around me doing the same. But thanks for watching :-)

I'll be Molly Ephraim's buddy anytime!

If LMS has a severe ratings drop this season (and quite possibly, not last beyond Season 2), people are immediately going to pin the blame (or scapegoat) on her (even though we really should be blaming Tim Doyle and maybe to a certain extent, Tim Allen for the change in direction). She was inevitably going to be compared to Alexandra Kronsey, since she originated the Kristen role. I mean, it's not like sitcoms haven't recast one of the children before. Look at the "Other Darrin" section on TVTropes.org to get a better idea.

What does she mean by the message that she sent you, that you are barking up the wrong tree?

God bless you and her always!!!

I have nothing against Amanda Fuller but she didn't seem a good fit for replacing Alexandra Krosney. They also really changed her character and she was not likable at all in that episode. I hope it gets better or I'll stop watching it.

That's how I feel about it too. It wasn't JUST Amanda Fuller that brought it down - it was her new son and especially her new babydaddy/boyfriend/whatever that were absolutely aweful. Pair these awkward cast changes with a dreadfully crappy script and it made the premier actually painful to watch. After enjoying the show last season I'm willing to give them a pass for now but an extended string of these will likely cause me to tune out.

And if the episode description for the third episode is any indication, looks like they'll be turning Eve into the overdone and cliched rebellious teen daughter.

High Expectations (airing November 16th)

A car in the neighborhood is egged; when Mike and Vanessa won't let Eve quit soccer, Eve acts out by getting drunk at a party.

Wow, you guys are right. I finally watched the second season premiere. It was awful. I barely laughed and the new Kristin and her ex are terrible. What have they done to this show?
