Short sighted indeed. Especially when you consider that Lara Parker, Nancy Barrett, Grayson Hall, Thayer David, Joel Crothers and Don Briscoe, to name a few, had all played characters with shades of gray. It doesn't seem like Alexandra was looking to play someone who would have given Danielle Roget nightmares, just a more rounded character. Someone who might have gotten the upper hand on occasion, someone who could get the last word in. A character like Dorian Lord. Casting Alexandra against type might have proven very effective. Would the audience have accepted her as that kind of character? Speaking for myself, hell yeah!! As long as the performance was good.
