Was Christine Lakin Underutilized?

Just wondering what people think.

I haven't watched this show since it originally aired, so I don't really remember exactly how much screen time she got, but I believe she'd be #6 in the cast pecking order (would have been #7 if Sasha Mitchell stayed on).

However any time Step by Step is mentioned, it seems to me like the conversation is usually about Al. I think she's quite possibly the most fondly remembered character, generally speaking.

IMO she was used quite adequately, and to good effect. And yes, her character was great. I think she and Staci Keanan were the two best actors on the show amongst the children, and on a superficial note Lakin underwent one of the more notable physical transformations in TV history. Al was great.

When she started to develop she looked like she'd be quite well endowed, guess she started early or they had her wearing a good padded bra.
