Firstly, Michelle played the part really well considering the poor scripts and storylines.
I remember when this was aired and immediately the buzz was met with a "who's this british girl?" and "why didn't they cast an American?"
As soon as there was a decline, Michelle was blamed as the sole reason.
WISE UP SCHMUCKS! You hired her and you wrote the poxy scripts and storylines.
The British girl did great in a poor show, written by poor writers
Americans don't care about the nationality of actors in relation to the parts they play. If we did, about 40 percent of Hollywood would be unemployed. British actors are all over American films and TV shows. As long as you can play the part, no one notices.
This show failed because the writing was terrible, and the lead actress wasn't compelling It had nothing to do with the fact that she was British. She was uninteresting as an actor.
The producer had already damaged the show by stupidly saying there would be no fembots or Bigfoot. The fans want to see that.
shareHer being British had nothing to do with anything. Ryan was a big reason that the show was canceled because she was terrible in it. She acted poorly and was dull. Not only was the show's writing terrible but Ryan was just such a massive casting mistake that even with good writing she'd drag the show down.
