In addition half the cast also left the show, leaving Charlie with the mayor, Caitlin, Carter, Paul and Stuart as the only remnants of the original show.
#CARLA GUGINO SPIN CITY PROFESSIONAL#
Originally created as a vehicle for Fox, but when his Parkinson's Disease grew worse, he left the show and was replaced by Charlie Sheen - who, acting as himself (a gifted professional with a lot of personal issues involving sex scandals and drug use), seemed like a second Stuart albeit sexually more successful. Especially given the presence of fan favorite Carter by the end the series, it often contained more Ho Yay per half hour than three seasons of Will & Grace combined. Deciding it would be more interesting for Mike to be a bachelor they wrote her out after the first half season. Originally Carla Gugino served as a co-lead character as Mike's girlfriend Ashley Schaefer, a reporter who evoked a certain animosity with the rest of the administration.
Later episodes brought in Heather Locklear as campaign manager Caitlin Moore. And despite his general Cloud Cuckoolander nature, Mayor Randall Winston on occasion would reveal a surprisingly adept mind that surprised the others. James Hobert was the Midwest farmboy who wrote the political speeches, Nikki Faber was a romantic yo-yo who managed the accounting, Stuart Bondek was the sex-crazed publicity adviser, Janelle Cooper and Stacey Paterno sometimes switched roles as secretaries between Mike and the Mayor, Paul Lassiter served as the Butt-Monkey press conference mediator and Carter Heywood was the minority representative as a gay black man (done to meta levels).
Political ribbing was always at the forefront but it soon came to revolve more around the characters' personal lives.įlaherty relied on his group of quirky, yet somehow competent, staff to manage all the details and keep things in check. Fox, and the challenge of keeping a hopelessly inept man in office.
