Well I guess it will be good to see the replacement whom i haven't seen.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 6:20pmI know, one week couldn't hurt....although I can't wait to see the person who's playing the role!

Posted: 7/28/08 at 6:40pmIf you read the article you'd know who is taking over the role.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 6:47pmI think they meant they can't wait to see the replacement perform.
I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 8:42pmGood riddance. In my opinion, she was the weakest link in the show.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 10:13pmNot the weakest link by far (*Mario Lopez*) but still not a good Cassie in my opinion.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 10:41pmShe grew too lazy in her MATM. At the start of the run, I thought she was great, but then when I saw her in January, she was off with the steps, and just wasn't trying, IMO.

This was discussed extensively on the "Jessica Lee Goldyn as Gassie" thread.
She has a prior commitment that would have required her to miss that she can not get out of.
After watching her a few weeks ago, I actually thought she was great, not stunning. Not phenomenal. But I enjoyed her a lot, and was impressed.

Posted: 7/29/08 at 12:51amWhy is she leaving a week before the show is over? Was this always her exit date? Seems odd.

I totally posted that before you responded.

Posted: 7/29/08 at 1:01pmWonderBoy- I didn't see Mario Lopez. I saw it towards the beginning of the run, so with that cast I did think she was the weakest link.

Did anyone find this article a tad misleading up until the parts where they listed the cast members, including Jessica as Val?

Posted: 7/29/08 at 2:04pmI know for sure that Charlotte has a conflict almost directly after her scheduled last day.

Posted: 7/29/08 at 4:14pmI've seen ACL way too many times -- love the show like no other. Still, I've seen Char's dancing wind down. Honestl;y, I can't blame her. She's a total trooper and not young for a dancer. Last time was about a month ago and it was a Sat mat performance and it was much more toned down. It's probably not possible to do what she did initially for two years. Sad to see her go and sad to see the show close.

Posted: 7/30/08 at 4:49pmJust thought I'd throw this in: Be very happy you're going to see Jessica as Cassie (and this is coming from one of the few who actually liked Charlotte).

I'm not a Charlotte fan or a Charlotte hater, but I do think it's wonderful that she's keeping her commitment to the camp, because I've heard from many there that they are excited out of their minds to have her. And the commitment has been in place for a long time.
Why people keep posting about how odd or stupid it is for her to miss the last week of ACL, when this information has been posted multiple times, is beyond me.
