According to TV Guide, Christina Moore of "MAD TV" has been cast as the new Laurie.

Mr. Television · 09-22-2003, 11:19 PM

I don't know who she is since I don't watch MAD TV but I don't like replacements.

MonarC · 09-23-2003, 06:54 PM

I did some research and here she is...

Starring Roles

Hyperion Bay (1998) - Amy Sweeny
That '70s Show (2003) - Laurie Forman (Season 6)

I can't believe this crap is happening I mean why Laurie why not replace Midge instead...

Bad_Company · 09-24-2003, 02:44 AM

this totally SUCKS!!!

Nothing against Christina Moore(I have never even seen her on tv) but i can't stand that they are replacing Laurie.....did they actually think the fans would like it

This is the beginning of the end for that 70s show

I'm gonna miss Lisa Robin Kelly soooooo much! But at least they didn't pull something like casting a brunette.

Here's Christina Moore:

That's too bad. I wonder why she was replaced.

MonarC · 09-24-2003, 09:20 PM

yeah it really does suc that they are replacing Laurie. and it is gonna be a different That 70's Show from now on

DarwinEx · 09-25-2003, 10:03 AM

It was not her choice to leave? That is a wierd decision by the show.

Brian Damage · 09-25-2003, 10:16 AM

Didn't she have a drug problem or something? I thought that is why she was being replaced.

TV Guy · 09-25-2003, 04:19 PM

Supposedly, the reason she was first fired a few years ago was because of a drug problem. Then she returned last season and it was said that she kicked the problem. Now, the producers are saying her departure is mutual, and her spokeman has no comment. My guess: she didn't really kick the drug problem after all, or has had a relapse.

MonarC · 09-25-2003, 04:23 PM

Who cares if she has a drug problem the show promotes drug use

plus as long as she can show up and do her job what does it matter what she does in her spare time... I have seen other cast menbers high on drugs too. I have seen pics of the cast with blood shot eyes and such and they aren't being replaced.. In the words of Bulldog Brisco "This is total BS!"

I think that I remember reading that Laurie was only going to be in like 6 episodes this season. Not sure if that's true, but in that case, if the new Laurie sucks, we don't have to see that much of her.

However, what I've heard from people who have gone to the tapings and have seen her, she does a really good job.

DJM77 · 09-27-2003, 09:33 PM

I don't like it when shows use two actors for the same character but at least Christina Moore looks a little bit like Lisa Robin Kelly. It's not as close of a resemblance as the two Darrins on Bewitched but still...

MonarC · 09-28-2003, 12:50 AM

well....
if it's true what ~anni~ says about only 6 epis then I guess it won't be so bad... but still im pissed about Lisa leaving...

The show does not promote drug use. They do smoke on the show, but they do it because that was something that happened at the time. It matters if she does drugs becuase they are illaegal and dangerous. In any job, if they find out you use drugs they are probably going to fire you or at least make you go to rehab. When have you seen the other cast members "high on drugs"? Even if you have seen pics of them with bloodshot eyes it doesn't mean they are on drugs!
