The reason the character was dropped so quickly is because audiences reacted negatively to the casting change. And there was an article at a now defunct site I read a few years back (so its not available) where Cellini was recalling the experience and how she was basically thrust into a role...

There was no point keeping the character once Catherine Oxenberg quit.

BTW, I always found "LB" to be an odd nickname since it stood for "Little Blake" I believe. How many grow up being known by initials that are not the actual initials of one's name to begin with???

In regards to what he did later, all one can say to Jason, is what Jay Leno said to Hugh Grant. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??"

I don't get it either since Stephanie wasn't tied up with a series at the time. The reunion was after "Sister Kate" and before "Seaquest DSV" (a show I stopped watching once she left).

I would have loved to have seen one more year of Beacham as Sable especially since it would have meant she never would have done that dreadful sitcom she went straight into after "Dynasty", "Sister Kate."

And then they caught up again years later! :)
