Dan F Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 They were both good, and as others have said they both had different qualities - but it will always be Deb for me!
Ryan Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 The more I see of the two actresses, the more I go towards Vanessa as being my favourite (or perhaps Vanessa's characterisation of Pippa being more interesting), Debra's could sometimes seem rather plain.
Mistified Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I obviously have a problem with acceptance because I still can't warm to Debra the same way as I did to Vanessa. I haven't yet let go of the hurt I felt when she was re-cast! I should probably talk to someone about that.
j.laur5 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 It's okay to like Vanessa better, I do too.
Laura Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Can somebody tell me why Debra Lawerence took over from Vanessa?
j.laur5 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Can somebody tell me why Debra Lawerence took over from Vanessa? I heard Vanessa quit because she missed Roger Oakley not being on the show.
Mistified Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 ^ What I heard is that Vanessa didn't renew her contract, or didn't have it renewed for her for whatever reason and hence had to leave the show.

It was all her chioce to leave she could have stayed on the show if she had wanted to. I heard somewhere she regrets leaving the show and thinks she acted two quickly. I wish Vanessa had stayed on the show because I love her more as Pippa. But I do love Debra too, but not as much as I love Vanessa.
alexx Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 There was an instant on-screen chemistry when Debra took over the role, which imo made it far far easier to adapt. And while Sally and Pippa were always very close, the mother-daughter role was really cemented when Debra took over, they just seemed to bounce off each other immediatetly. Though I guess that may have happened regardless of who played the role.
JaneEyre Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I liked them both but Debra Lawrence was probably my favourite and *my* Pippa. I found her to be a more motherly figure than Vanessa. I think both actresses did a good job, but for me Pippa will always be Debra Lawrence baking cakes for the diner and calling everyone "Sweetheart"
