I remember kassie saying in an interview that she didn't even know why they were auditioning her to play Blair because the last Blair was Asian. So glad they cast kassie!
@@tcampbell2186 Yes. Blair was always the daughter of Dorian's sister Addie. When Mia Korf was playing Blair, she was the product of Addie being raped by an Asian orderly. They just retconned him being Asian when Kassie took over the role.
kassie wesley depaiva was MADE for this role. she's so utterly watchable. i just stared at her in these scenes, eating up every word and facial movement. she's deliciously bitchy to dorian, but has a quality that makes me root for her!
I could not stand Sloane. He was a prig and a pill. I loved Dorian! She and Vicki were so much fun to watch. I never got tired of them. Especially Dorian. Even at her bitchiest, Dorian was a trip!
Thank you for this! I've been watching the clips you posted of the original Blair and while she was great, Kassie just seems like she was born for this role. What terrific scenes!
Mia Korf was a more agressive BLAIR, Kassie Wesley played BLAIR more sexually! KORF and ELAINE PRINCI,S DORIAN WERE PERFECT CHEMISTRY JUST as Wesley and Strasser were perfect chemistry !!
No way. "Mia" was faux Blair. An Asian Blair in an all-Caucasian family? As if. Even though her father was unknown, he wouldn't have been Asian. One of the producers of the show wanted her in for his own creepy reasons, but to everyone else it made no sense at all. Also, that faux Blair was nice looking, but she was a terribly wooden actress next to Kassie.
