You have to love the red-white thing Samantha is wearing - so mid-1980s fashion :) Don't know where to get copies of the show though. Anyway i enquired on a forum at TV Tome and got this:
-
- Originally the plan was to continue the series without Samantha. But after a few more episodes were shot it became clear it wasn't going to work. So ultimately the series did end production because of her death, but it took those additional episodes without her to convince everyone that going on was not a wise decision. Actually the plan was to add another daughter. Not to recast Samantha's part, however. Her character, Elizabeth, was going to go off to live with her mother in Paris, while another daughter who'd been living with the mother was then going to move back to Virginia with her father. The characters name was going to be Libby, and several scripts were written with the character but never filmed.
By the way isn't Libby one of the many nicknames for Elizabeth? PMA 15:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

- Yes, "Libby" is one of many nicknames for Elizabeth (& my mother didn't like any of them, or it, & used her middle name), i.e. Elizabeth "Libby" Dole.
Secondly, the above paragraph is self-contradictory. In the first sentence it says that more episodes had been "shot" but were deemed unfeasible; in the last it says that they were written but never filmed. As "filmed" and "shot" are synonymous, obviously one of these sentences is wrong. I have long read that it was the latter — that there was an attempt to rewrite the series to take Samantha's death into consideration but no one like it enough to continue shooting, especially in the light of the show's already-low ratings and the general feeling that Samantha was the main attraction; except for her, we'd pretty much seen it all before. (I can't help but think what an alluring 33 year old she'd be now.) Rlquall 11:06, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
There were a few episodes shot after her death (and without her character) according to the guide at TV Tome - this person was referring to the long-term plans to create a new character that never came to be. 210.49.121.186 18:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
