[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 56138, member: 27"] The stalker plot was actually a lot better than it ought to be [I]because of the actors involved, [/I]not because of the plot itself. Michele Lee stepped up her game a bit when she had Robin Strasser to play off; Strasser (as Dianne Kirkwood) was a really good antagonist for Lee's Karen*. I liked Karen a lot more when she had a villain to mock/insult (like the days of Karen Vs. Abby, and of course Karen vs. Anne). Chris Lemmon (as Jeff) had to remain in the background as Karen vs. Dianne was meant to be the "main event", so it wasn't until later that he got to show he could carry a scene. Though Jeff could not have stayed long-term, I think Dianne would have been a wonderful permanent addition to the cast if they had found a way. * Strasser had made a virtual [I]career [/I]in[I] [/I]daytime soaps playing the "abrasive bitch competing with the town saint", having played manipulative Rachel Davis on [I]Another World[/I] and wicked stepmother-from-hell Dorian Lord on [I]One Life to Live.
