Hello, Eli Stone fans!
I'm new to here and I've just made a Joanna Gleason community:
joannagleason I don't have any actual members yet, but I'm hoping people interested in Eli Stone are also fans of Joanna. If you are, please join! (have a look in the community info part first, though.)
Thank you, and please join (and post!)!

(It really wasn't that different at all, just some bonus scenes - like the workout scene, and I think there's one with Matt and Eli trying not to kill each other while walking down the hall. Prob'ly a few others - been a while since I watched it.)

From The Tube File, talking about the differences between the pilots:
They recast Eli's mother, from Joanna Gleason to someone I didn't recognize, basically making her warmer-seeming but less sophisticated. I wonder if that was partly an availability thing- if they decided the character will come back, Joanna Gleason may be harder to get/pay than someone else. And, more critically, in the original, his fiancée basically dumps him and we're left to believe he's going to start seeing the woman he represents in the episode, who he had once slept with, in college. But in the version that aired, they trimmed the lines with the woman he represents so it's not as clear they'll ever see each other again, and they had the fiancée come back, tell Eli she loves him, and they go off and have lunch.
