THAT 70S SHOW: A TALE OF TWO LAURIES 

To me her replacement did ok she was dull and not like lisa AT ALL. Lisa was very good as Eric's sister.

I personally found Christina grating. She was MEH at best.

That ‘90s Show should bring Christina Moore for an episode in season 2. Let’s see how Leia gets along with her Aunt Laurie.

One of my favorite lines from the entire series “he’s having an arm attack”

I def think that Christina Moore sounded like she was reading off a script. Didn't give any personality at all to the character.

Lisa Robin Kelly was SO amazing in that role!

This guy’s videos make me sad don’t know why ( and no I’m not offended) still gonna watch because of quality production

RIP Lisa Robyn Kelly

One of the best episodes was when Jackie kicked Lauries ass, so funny.

RIP Lisa Robin Kelly

The thing is the og lori was so perfect in that role that lori 2 felt bad

Christiana Moore could have done it little better if she stayed on the show for a little longer

"People hated us recasting Laura, a not so important character... Hm... Let's write in a replacement for Eric, the person the entire series has been around"

I feel like when laurie came back she had changed her ways, but when christina came she went back to being her old self without any explnation

Remember when Donna had a sister who must have just been murdered by the whole town and forgotten

Christina isn't a bad actress, but Lisa just played Laurie sooooo well. Her mannerisms, her delivery of the lines and the way she could throw daggers with her eyes.

Lisa Robin Kelly had that mean look, the high pitched voice to work on red and that low voice to talk to Eric and show how evil she really is. Lisa took a role that could have been insignificant and made Laurie shine. With Moore it looks like she took the script snd just said it, no perosnality, no depth. I think they just wanted a hot blond to close the storyline. If she was any good she would have been in more that just a few episodes.

I went to Rehab with Lisa K in the summer of 2010. In VA. She was so kind. We graduated the program the same day. Addiction unfortunately took her life. After two more relapses, I’ve been sober for almost 10 years now. Always eerie to see her in videos.

The tale of Laurie is such a sad one because Lisa Robin Kelly totally OWNED the role of Laurie. She brought so much life and personality to the character that was very infectious. It's like you said, you could both despise and like her as a character and I didn't mind that they gave her a bit of positive leaning character growth when she returned in season 4 and wanted to try to be a better person (though still promiscuous). Lisa WAS Laurie and no one could ever replace her. The replacement actress just lacked the charisma and charm that Lisa brought to the role. No offense to her, I'm sure she's a fine enough actress, it's just that she had big shoes to fill with the character and failed at it but to be fair to her, I don't think any actress could bring that perfection back to the character that Lisa brought. I don't think Christina Moore's portrayal was the worst, I will agree that she still had somewhat of the Laurie vibe with her lines but I think it's the general tone that I had more of an "eh" thing with. It's such a shame that Lisa was struggling with so much in her life and just couldn't get the help she truly needed. I still remember her infamous mugshot and was mortified at what happened to her when reading about her personal life and was hoping she would find the strength to bounce back but then she unfortunately passed away. It really was a sad tale.

While the writing was there, her line delivery was FLAT, there was a lack of face expressions and body language. It didnt fit with t70s and their cartoonlike style

Always annoyed me how in season 6 Laurie would always say she would never sleep w/ Fez when in reality she ended season 5 in bed w/ him. It’s like they changed half her character’s personality

Lisa Robind made you hate the character the second actress didnt do anything

Remember those five entire seconds in the VERY beginning of the series when Donna had a sister who was cast and shown on camera for a single joke? Nice budget for a television sitcom, huh?

“Second actor casting is honestly why I use the Multiverse theory as a coping mechanism.”

Honestly, I think Christina is one of the most forgettable parts of the show.

Josh Myers and fake Laurie were the worst mistakes of That 70's Show.

Hry atleast we didnt get a tale of 2 Erics

Original Laurie was best. The "replacement" was not "bitchy" enough to be Laurie.

When I was a kid, I thought new Laurie was a different character

I dont see how anyone could think Christina Moore was a good replacement. Her comedic timing and chemistry was so bad, and half of the time she sounded like she was stumbling through her lines. She is actually really similar to Randy in that respect. She's terrible.

I dont think Red was neglectful. He was just very strict.

I repressed Christina as Laurie . Lisa was Laurie and everything after her seemed to fall off . Losing Topher only made things worse

The replacement Laurie sucked at acting. It’s like she was doing a bad impression of the original actress.

She was only 43 when she died :( RIP Lisa

She was like a plain slice of white bread compared to Lisa Robin Kelly's portrayal of the character. I remember being so bored with how ditsy, slow and boring she was compared to OG Laurie. The spunk of the Laurie character was gone.

The second Laurie failed because she couldn’t make the character her own. She was an imitation at best.

Laurie Forman is legitimately my favorite character on this show. Her character is so underrated, Lisa portrayed the character perfectly & made it iconic. The replacement made her character legitimately annoying

Rest in peace, Lisa Robin Kelly. 💗 😢 Plus, I thought that Christina Moore did a decent job with what she was given, and delivered her own take on Laurie, and doesn't try to copy Lisa. 😻

Christina's highlight reel made me think she was worse than I remembered. Very bland and sitcomy.

Wow I never seen a picture of her since the show. She aged harshly and she’s dead? Holy shit.

I heard somewhere Laurie ended up being a mom to some kids named Emma, Luke, Ravi and Zuri back in New York. (I oughta know since Lisa Robin Kelly's replacement Christina Moore played their hot smokin' mother on Disney Channel's "JESSIE".)

10:00 Damn, I didn't know Uncle Phil was on That 70s Show. RIP.

When lisa played her, she had an evil/manipulative undertone but the new actress didnt

Lisa Robin Kelly was such a good actress and so perfectly cast--the voice, the look, the attitude... She was perfect. The second Laurie was so unmemorable that I had forgotten about her until this video

Why is this recommended 36 minutes after upload 😳😳 I ain’t never watched this dude

Lisa had the charisma, youthful voice, catty demeanour and facial expressions to match. Christina was like a deadpan newsreader reading the auto queue.

christina was okay, doing her job. also lisa robin kelly embodied laurie so well it's unfair to expect anyone to give us what kelly was giving.

The replacement did very well, butI did notice that they reverted her to classic bitch Laurie, whereas at the end of the previous season she was being protrayed as a changed woman. Once the actress was someone else if they had continued with that viewers would have got confused how this character acting completely differently to what they had become used to was then somehow still Laurie.

Christina seemed to lack the character and emotion that Lisa put into the role. Laurie was meant to be hated and at the same time, felt sorry for. With Christina, you just hated Laurie. There was a complete regression of the character.

I totally disagree with this. There's so much opinion pandering in this. That 70s show is my all time favorite show and I gotta say without a doubt that Christina SUCKED. It was like a totally different character. She just didnt fit. Her timing and reactions were horrible. Lisa WAS lorie. And i say that not bc she was original, it's due to her acting. It was 100% natural and believable. Where as christina was a horrible over actor with lame facial expressions that had 0 timing. To even say she came in, fit in and played lorie right is laughable. They totally rewrote the role for her. And btw the original plan wasn't for Josh to play Eric. The original plan was for Charlie to become the main replacement for Eric. When he got a starring role in another show, he was written off. Then the randy thing happened. While it was an idea, they never would have went through with it due to the reaction christiana got replacing lisa.

I feel like the second actress was trying her best to be like the first actress, but the line delivery was just not the same.

It'll always be difficult to replace an actor/actress that made the role. It's one thing when you can reboot the character under new circumstances (think James Bond or Batman,) but Laurie wasn't simply a character at that point; she was Lisa's portrayal of Laurie... I didn't care for Chistina Laurie, but it wasn't anything wrong she did. She just wasn't the Laurie of the show. Had she had the role all along, and the character to develop from the start... who knows. RIP Lisa

This was a very sweet analysis of the character and was respectful to both actresses. i think for me the difference is lisa played her with more disgust, dirty looks, and snark. the second actress was great, but suddenly so much sweeter and nicer. even her quips felt like playful banter, while lisa's version would probably microwave a cat

I had no idea she died. That's so heart breaking.

The replacement "Laurie" didnt really do it for me, but it's not easy to fill another person's spot. But the first one was way better, the second one didnt really have that facial expressions.

I wouldn't agree that Red was neglectful I will agree that he was dissaponted because throughout the show from my perspective I see Red is trying to teach Eric some responsibility and be responsible for your actions and throughout the entire show Eric does stupid things and is a brat for most of the show until he finally leaves for Africa which is the one thing that Red actually supports him on because Eric is finally being responsible and doing something instead of sitting at home, not having a job and taking a break for an entire year Also in my opinion I feel like it might've been cool if they kept going with the Laurie and Fez marriage or relationship because it did show her changing a little with wanting to be close to her family and even being nicer to Eric and marrying Fez so he could stay in the country. I honestly didn't like that immediately after that Laurie couldn't stand Fez and didn't seem like the Laurie from the previous season. I feel like they could've done what they did with Savannah in season 8 but with fez and Laurie and maybe even have Laurie go and sleep with other guys but she starts not liking it and not having as much fun as she used to and see her actually start liking being around Fez and could even show Her and Fez connecting in a way and her and Fez ultimately stay together for the show and showing Fez and Laurie actually work well off each other and kinda do the Jackie and Hyde relationship again where it seems like it wouldn't work but than they find out that they actually work well together

Tbh, I originally watched this whole series on my 3ds back in n the day, and if it wasn't for her voice I wouldn't have noticed she was a different person

I absolutely loved the original Lori. May she rest in peace...😢🙏💙

Lisa was like 10 times better than Christina. Christina was quite boring.

Friends: A Tale of Two Carols.

She was a bad replacement not as bad as Eric replacement but she never satisfied the Laurie storyline she made it her own and that killed the vibe of the character.

My issue was that there wasn't one scene showing how she went from the Laurie Eric actually hugged in season 5 right back to same kind of Laurie prior to that in season 6 in the next appearance, just with a little less snark and less hatred towards Eric. Just sort of a snapback with a new actor on top of it all. Like a scene where she decides to split the difference between the old and the new and go from there. That's all I wanted.

The second Laurie was the mom on Jessie

I disagree. Christina Moore WAS out of place and felt wrong, and she also was not funny. She was extremely bland. Prettier than Lisa Robin Kelly, but less talented.

How about next the Becky actor replace on Rosanne

Wow, I must have stopped watching the show by the time the 2nd Laurie was cast. The first one was ICONIC and was always dominated the scene whenever she showed up onscreen

I love Lisa Robyn Kelly the best as Laurie. No offense to the other actress, but I just prefer Lisa Robyn Kelly. Lisa was so hot and it is sad what happened to her. R.I.P.

Her movements and even her facial expressions were.... incredible. Vacant but also manipulating, kind yet fierce. There’s something to her performance.

It's tough to replace an established character, and Lisa was just so perfect as the "bad" girl with that power that bad girls have. Nothing against Christina, but I think a lot of fans were invested in Laurie in a way that would allow them to accept Christina out of necessity without ever really allowing her to replace Lisa in their hearts. Same thing happened with the Becky character on Roseanne. You're playing the character we know ... but you're not her.

Second Laurie (Christina Moore) wasn't as good, but mostly because of the scripts IMO. Lisa Robin Kelly was great because she got a lot of (story)lines. The second Laurie felt too much like a vehicle to wrap things up with Fez, and to get a few punchlines. I think her acting was great.

I see you have also disappointed your father. Welcome to the club😭

I never realized how much she (Kelly) does resemble Eric.

Christina was terrible as Laurie, very bad acting.

This was something that happened more often in sitcoms of the 70s and 80s it became a trope

I always just figured it was a nod to that weird Brady Bunch variety show where they had to obviously recast Jan. So, I guess now you're obligated to do a video on that. I already forged your signature on the paperwork, so it's legally binding in the court of law.

The replacement just felt boring. She didn’t have the same energy as Lisa. Oh and I wouldn’t say Red was neglectful, he was emotionally distant but definitely overbearing with Eric.

I cant even remember Christina Moore and Ive seen this show thousand times when I was young

Christina was great. I don’t think they could have actually found someone better. But Lisa robin kelly was so good, it would have been impossible for anybody to fill her shoes.

Main reason why I don't like the new Laurie is because it feels like she backtracked in her personality. The old Laurie was at least trying to stop being mean and manipulative, but the new Laurie just threw that out the window.

If she had been the only one to play the character, I don't think as many people would complain. She did a good job. Just Lisa was much better for most people.

Lisa Robin Kelly over Christina Moore anytime as Laurie. The show bombed of course after the replacement of the Actress

R.I.P. Lisa Robin Kelly She was a Beautiful lady on that show Until she died of a Drug Overdose

Lisa Robyn Kelly made me laugh so hard when she ripped on Kelso for the leather jacket: AYYYYYEEEE 👍👍🤣

Why is this in my recommended? I've never watched this guy before 😂🤨

Oddly enough never liked Eric's sister. She was alright IMO. But I was saddened when LRK passed away. I remember where I saw it, I was at the doctor's office. RIP Lisa Robin Kelly.

Replacement Laurie is TERRIBLE! She is absolutely abhorrent! Plus they looked nothing alike!

I hear a lot of women did drugs after meeting Kutcher.

Didn’t Donna have a sister in only one episode?

Lisa Robin Kelly was flawless, RIP girl.

Look, while I get everyone was disappointed with how Laurie turned out, the actress was going through things that clearly didn't make her easy to work with.

The 2nd Laurie was empty and dead, I mean I was like geeze why didn’t they hire me I could have done that! Lisa had amazing presence, fire and sass and dominated the airwaves where the other was extremely forgettable, stiff and didn’t look like she knew how to act.

I preferred the second Laurie, even though I never watched the show when she was on it.

Would’ve been good if Christina was there from the beginning. 👍

Hey, talk about Charlie Sheen replaced Michael J Fox on Spin City.

I remember Lisa Robyn Kelly gueststarring on the X-Files. Creepy!

New laurie is so pretty.

Replacement Laurie fell flat and her personality was dry. Lisa will always be Laurie to me.

In the scenes showed here, the lines written for Moore were still great, but the delivery did not have the bite they needed. Lisa would have knocked them out of the park. Lisa had such great talent. It is so sad she had so many hardships

I would agree that the bigger problem after the casting change was more an issue of how the character ended up not doing much of anything, not really the fault of the actress

She was fantastic in that role, the actress who replaced her wasn’t as good. Not even close.
