Even worse - DC might have cast RD!! 

I'm a good demon, believe me! *shove*

I apologize for the double post, but I didn't have time to modify. Other examples of evil or bitchy Sarah Michelle Gellar include Kendall Hart on All My Children and The First in Buffy Season 7.

Let's also not overlook the fact that they couldn't have done the demons Buffy did, or the ones Charmed did before their budget cuts (somewhere around the middle of the series, most of the demons stop looking weird and start looking like regular people) without them looking extremely cheesy. Dan Curtis may have gone a little crazy with the SFX sometimes, but when something simply couldn't be done, he probably knew it. And, as had been previously mentioned, DS was heavily under fire from many fundamentalist groups. Some churches even published anti-DS pamphlets, making it the first soap to receive those. Vampires, witchcraft, and a brief descent into Hell pushed it enough; demons would have caused extreme public outcry. Plus, if it had been a male demon, they would have cast someone who would have turned into a real heartthrob and, in the next storyline, they would have drained him of a lot of his personality and made him one of the "good guys." The notion of a good demon is offensive or ridiculous to many people.

I believe that makes you part of the Ö generation.

Will you be dressing up as Rev. Trask?

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

I also agree that the part of the storyline involving Vicki and Peter was totally unnecessary, and, quite frankly, disrespectful to the fans. If you're going to [spoiler]kill off our initial heroine, do it properly, with a story arc devoted to it; don't give us a line that says, "Oh, by the way, Vicki's dead."

Chris and Carolyn are cousins, yes, but distant ones.[/spoiler]

Afghan, what the hell are you doing? Stop trying to destroy The Pen this instant, or I'm calling Mrs. Johnson and her knitting needles on your ass!
