Message: <blockquote data-quote="pete lashmar" data-source="post: 357626" data-attributes="member: 606">Nice article, just goes to show that you never really know what's going on behind the scenes in people's lives.As for the character of Lucy, after bosses decided to reverse their original plans for Pam and give her the light to Larry's dark they should have put Lucy centre stage as a manipulating trouble maker. Not many of her stories were particularly strong but, in all honesty they really needed a better actress if the character was going to be more fully rounded.TV bosses just do not understand that viewers are turned off by whinney characters, and if their acting ability isn't great it just adds to a big turn off. (Charlei Wade was the same). Lucy's rape should have been a shocking plot, but it just fell flat - with a better actress and better writing a revenge plot would have worked amazingly well - but Lucy became a victim in the series as a whole and she should always have been a fighter.</blockquote>
