Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pamela_E" data-source="post: 266865" data-attributes="member: 315">Rightly or wrongly I believe they felt the casting of Lucy limited the role.  At the start Charlene was perfect, she had this raw edge that was fantastic.But the character didn't really progress and I believe they felt she was limited. I do believe if someone like Nicolette Sheridan had been playing the role then we would have seen a very different scenario with the character of Lucy. On that note I always felt that James Beaumont was a mistake, instead a daughter would have been far more interesting considering JR's misogynistic views. I'm not suggesting Charlene wasn't capable but as characters progress, then perhaps Producers feel restricted by casting and write to those specific strengths.</blockquote>
