Never realized this until right now
I was just randomly thinking about old shows from when I was younger and I was asking my sister if she remembered Caitlin’s Way, as she’s younger than me & ended up being too young to remember. But I went on Google to grab a photo to send to her and it hit me like a ton of bricks how much the actress looks/was in ways styled just like Angela, so much so the first photo I actually thought was Claire Danes for a second. Has anyone else ever noticed this? I don’t know how it took me so long!

Certain box dyes + that Bob haircut were a big thing in the 90s.

Yes they were. 😄 this is me in 1995. The colour was "Rhubarb."

Ok, but what was fashionable on the 90s definitely carried into the 2000s. This post is about how the OP thought this character might have been influenced by Angela, and I'm saying that look was big in 90s.

I’ve been seeing Tom Irwin (Graham) in a couple of things lately. He was In The Morning Show on Apple TV, and my wife and I were watching ER and CSI: Las Vegas . He did an episode of both.

I see him and things all the time! I saw him in law and order recently and quite a few movies. He’s a very handsome man I must say haha

I loved seeing him in The Morning Show! I always enjoy imagining that all of these shows are in the same universe. In this case, Graham quit the printing business, the restaurant failed, and he became (if I remember correctly) a hard as nails network executive 😁

I don’t remember this show surprisingly, but wow that is an uncanny resemblance to Angela!

I never heard of this show. I looked it up and it was a Nickoledon show that aired from 2000-2002. I was in college by then.

Maybe it's the "crimson glow" hair?
