Shocker?

Kristina Corinthos-Davis is going to look quite a bit different starting next week. Though no details have come to light yet, the show has chosen to recast the role, which has been played on and off since 2009 by Lexi Ainsworth, with Days Of Our Lives favorite Kate Mansi. From what I've seen of Kate's work, she's a great actress, but I'm still upset.

I cannot say how many times over the last several years that I have wanted GH to put Lexi on contract. A talent of her caliber should not just be paraded out every three months, for a day or two, and then relegated off screen, and forgotten. What a waste!

Kristina is a legacy character, and could contribute so much to the canvas. Why isn't she in a salacious triangle with Molly and TJ, or learning the mob ropes from her gangster father? All she's done for the last three years is pour drinks at Charlie's, and complain that her life is directionless. Such wasted potential!

Here's hoping, with Mansi on board, there's a plan to feature this character the way she should be.
