Casting
The character has been played by 5 different actresses. The role was originated in 1991 by an unknown baby. Amanda Seyfried portrayed the character of Lucy in 1999, but left a month later due to difficulties between her and the creators. Then Peyton List stepped into the role almost a year later on December 14, 2001. Lucy's popular pairing with older bad boy, Dusty Donovan (played by Grayson McCouch) earned her many fans and a lot of publicity. List opted not to renew her contract and her final appearance on the show was on January 25, 2005. Nearly two years later, Spencer Grammer took over the role on May 31, 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word casting:
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
