Putting together my list of TV characters who were recast mid-series got me thinking about some current shows that would just be so much better if I could replace a certain annoying, obnoxious, or simply boring actor with another of my choice. How many times have you said, "This show would be so much better if we could just get rid of ______"?
My pet peeve of this TV season was Lindsay Price playing Victory on Lipstick Jungle. I actually really came to like Lipstick over its six-episode run, but Price's acting just always grated on me. More than once, I found myself wishing I could just swap her for Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville, who I suspected could pull her weight a little more in an ensemble with Brooke Shields and Kim Raver.
What TV character would you recast, if you could? And, bonus question: What actor or actress would you prefer to see in the role?

Really?!? I liked Lindsay Price, if not her character on Lipstick Jungle, but I did not like Bonnie Somerville on Cashmere Mafia.
I don't like Kim Raver though. I never have, and I'm not sure why.
I thought I didn't like Brooke Shields, but found that I really did.
I guess it's all just a matter of taste.
