I don't know what it is, I hardly see actors or actresses this way, but ever since I finished FNL, I started watching American Horror story, and now in Nashville, which i checked out, I can't see her as any other character besides Coach Taylor's wife. I loved American Horror story, but in my head I kept going...that is not Vivien, that is Tami Taylor! I don't know why I keep thinking like that, maybe the chemistry between Chandler and here was just really good. Has anyone else done that, even not with her but any other actor or actress?

I love her in FNL, but she is great as Rayna Jaymes of Nashville. Her character in Nashville looks like as Tami Taylor and it very good for FNL fans.

I know, I know. I agree with your comment about the chemistry, too.
I think it's also because FNL was so good that the characters became incredibly real to me. I have the same problem with quite a few of the Sopranos actors (I have only just started to see Carmela as Nurse Jackie!)and particularly Lauren Ambrose from 6 feet under.
I wonder if it's also that if you're familiar with the actor in a few things before they play a character you really love, you're more likely to see the actor as separate. I had never seen anyone in FNL or the Sopranos before, so they really became the characters for me. Dan Lauria will always be the Dad from the Wonder Years, too :)
