(Don't know why they decided to have those roles played by different actors this time 'round...  Perhaps they figured they should keep more actors working.)

Susan Lucci actually could play Liz, but Fran as Victoria: now that's funny!

I think I read somewhere that Doris Roberts will be playing Dr. Julia Hoffman.  Instead of using meds, she'll use guilt and food.  They've already fitted her with a red wig.
