And so are Staci, B, Dawn, Sam and sadly Dakota. They all felt like one season wonders and this was even more apparent with Sam's pointless role in TDAS. The TDRI cast consisted majority of one note characters that didn't develop save for few. The interactions were dead and stale. The TDPI cast had almost everyone getting development even through some of the "gimmicks" as well. You can't compare Dawn to Samey or Ella. Same with Zoey to Sky. The latters clearly trump the formers. I think it's pretty obvious which cast is superior but hey that's just my opinion..... and apparently everyone else's so far except a few.
