Supporting Actor
So we occassionally here about possible spin offs from various shows that don't sell for whatever reason.
Two examples that come right to mind are the proposed spin off of 'I Love Lucy' for Fred and Ethel. But those two actors declined as they didn't really like each other.
Another is (remember we are talking the height of daytime soaps here) a proposed prime time spinoff from 'General Hospital' that was to be called "House of Cassadine". It was going to be a 'Dynasty' / 'Dalls' type prime time soap. Plans were shutttered when ABC couldn't secure Elizabeth Taylor to come on board to reprise her character of Helena Cassadine.
So are there some spin offs that any of us have heard about that FAILED to make it to series, either before or after a pilot was shot, that you would like to have seen?
Is there a character or concept of a spin off of one of your favorite shows that YOU think might have worked, given the chance?
