Dropped From 'Joey' Cast


I heard today that Ashley will be dropped from the cast of "Joey", as the producers felt she didn't go over well with test audiences. Let's hope for a last-minute miraculous change of heart!

I can understand this, though I'm not sure why they needed a recast. I didn't like the idea of Joey chasing after a maried woman. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't see how they actually thought a scenario like this would be popular.

IMO, the whole "loveless marriage" concept smacked too much of the Niles-Maris `ship on "Frasier."

It's one thing to model "Joey" on "Frasier"; it's quite another to ape it.

I just read that on TV Guide.com. I thought it was so strange. I think she appeals just fine to audiences. hmmm. Maybe there is something else there.

I also read something about how excited she was and she thought people would really like the show. How sad for her.

Wait a minute....the stomer guy from Road Trip is playing De Matteo's son?
Man, talk about suspension of disbelief.
That guy cracks me up, and I am happy he is on the show, but playing the son of a girl who looks like she is the same age, should be interesting.

To keep this on topic, its a bummer that Scott was dropped.
She is super hot and I liked her alot in Birds of Prey.

Yeah. Apparently she would've been 5 years old when she gave birth to him. It is sort of a stretch.

Actually, they weren't talking about general audiences. The word was that the test audiences didn't like her. And we all know how MUCH test audiences know. [She's coming off action and drama shows. It's probably better to do that, than to go into lame duck comedy shows.]
