Kathy, iirc, at least one was supposed to die, yeah. But I'm glad they didn't...their bickering was funny.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Jack on Lost (not originally designed as a regular either, IIRC). Anyone else of interest pulled this off? Especially as quickly as Matthew Fox?
Not to be pedantic, but I'm not sure this was Fox's doing. I think I remember reading that the early producers just axed the idea of offing the main character, not necessarily MF. (Unless I'm making that up).

Of course, when they meet he wouldn't like her and call her a "pissy New England bitch"
Which would mean that Andy would eventually wind up falling in love and marrying her.

Though now I think of it, didn't I hear that Hurley was just supposed to be a sideline-y guy, but Jorge Garcia (that's it, right?) was charismatic and/or interesting enough that the character got expanded?

Of course, Sean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did not know that, Epic. Googling up an interview indicated that not only was that true, but a) Yunjin read for Kate and they wrote in Sun for her b) Dom's reading convinced them to rewrite Charlie younger c) Hurley was added specially for Jorge after JJ saw him on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I *love* Jorge, and want to see him in other things.
He's very, VERY funny. A nice, dry wit.

Jorge is one of the few actors who can deliver the word "dude" and make it believable instead of an affectation. Very cool.

Cliff Clavin wasn't supposed to be a regular either.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Actually most people I know dismiss people concerned about the environment as tree-hugging idiots.
I may be a tree-hugger, but I don't think I'm the idiot in this scenario.
Let's see. If environmentalism is a religion, then environmentalists should be eligible for faith-based programs, correct? And disagreeing with any tenet of the environmentalists' program is anti-religion and, therefore, unacceptable, correct?
How much do I adore Fred Pete?
