[QUOTE="AndyB2008, post: 286861, member: 26097"] On my point, would it have worked with Erika Eleniak as Laura as Spelling originally intended or not? Just a thought. As I wrote before, Spelling was swayed by Scott Michaelson and the possible international sales (hint - the UK, Australia and Europe) to cast Kimberley Davies, even though she wasn't a big name there as I don't recall the Annalise episodes airing in the US, and the US audience at least knew Erika sort of either from Baywatch and Under Siege. I think they were just the production company, as the main producers were Mark Frost and David Lynch through their Lynch\Frost productions. Aaron Spelling and E Duke Vincent got no credit at all like they normally do on Spelling stuff. Not to mention Worldvision, a Spelling arm which is now folded into CBS Media Ventures, distributed the show internationally, so effectively ViacomCBS now own Twin Peaks. But again this was mainly Lynch and Frost's show. The ownership of TP by ViacomCBS through Spelling enabled Showtime to be part of the revived series, as ViacomCBS owns that channel. The original series aired on ABC. [/QUOTE]
