True - but the acting challenge of keeping things fresh is sure to wear thin over the years, which leads me to think that Crothers' and especially Moltke's attitudes were perfectly understandable given the material they were more often given to play as Joe and Vicki. And it's interesting that their situations are pretty much the opposite of one another because Moltke had her most dynamic material as Vicki in the beginning when Art Wallace was still around (and no doubt looking out for the character that was central to his vision), whereas Crothers' material more often made Joe seem dull as dishwater until he became involved with VampAng and was subsequently sent spiraling downward even more by discovering the truth about Chris.
