Message: <blockquote data-quote="ClassyCo" data-source="post: 419720" data-attributes="member: 7">Cheryl Ladd has said that she told Aaron Spelling, "I just don't want to be Farrah. Only Farrah is Farrah." She says it was her suggestion that her character be funny, while Spelling made the decision to make her character Farrah's on-screen little sister. All these ingredients came together and helped Cheryl Ladd and her Kris Munroe make a grand entrance at the start of Season 2. The audience rallied behind the new addition to the cast, and apparently Ladd/Kris was soon the most popular Angel in the trio. There were a lot of reasons why Kate Jackson was harder to replace. She was such a strong presence, the obvious leader of the Angels, and her shoes would be tougher to fill. Shelley Hack, as much as I defend her, just wasn't up to the task. She was so inexperienced as an actress that it would be next-to-impossible for her to fill Jackson's shoes so soon. We must acknowledge, as we've stated numerous times, the producers didn't give Shelley any favors with the scripts. I'm divided on this. I don't like that they didn't have Tanya graduate from the police academy. That was the basic set-up from the inaugural season. Everything else I could go with, but not that.</blockquote>
