[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 61447, member: 673"] Looking at the different comments about how the new versions of the characters are too different from the old ones, the writers clearly aren't trying to base them on how they were in the original. They've taken the family structure and a few of the same plot points (Fallon not liking her new stepmother) but that's about it. It's the CW so it was never going to be a loyal retelling of the original story. The focus was going to be on youth and sex and scandal, so there's not much point in saying "the original Krystle wouldn't have done that" because the only things that new Cristal appears to have in common with her is that they both married a man named Blake, they both have a nibling named Sammy Jo and they both have a stepdaughter that dislikes them. I knew that as soon as I saw Cristal strutting down the aisle. Other random notes from the trailer, was Claudia in it? I read somewhere that she was in the new version and was involved in the pilot episode cliffhanger but was she seen onscreen? Or was she even cast in the end? I know that these things can get reworked between script and screen. Also, at 2:27, is that Jack from Revenge, as the man (Matthew?) kissing Cristal in the front of the jeep? [/QUOTE]
