 Many actors got their roles testing for other characters. Both Ricky  Paul Goldin (Dean Frame) and Chris Bruno (Dennis Wheeler) tested for  the role of Sam Fowler. Judi Evans auditioned for the Vicky Hudson  recast, but got the Paulina recast instead. Anna Stuart auditioned  for the role of Felicia Gallant; producers loved her so much they  created Donna Love specifically for her. Meanwhile, MArk Pinter  auditioned for the role of Grant Harrison, but lost to Dack Rambo.  After Rambo left, producers called Pinter back to takeover the role.
