“Last Man Standing” came to an end Thursday night after nine seasons. But the show was minus some of its original faces. Both Kristin and Mandy were present. But the original actors that portrayed the characters were no shows. The sitcom has recast several of its characters over the years, especially Mike Baxter’s daughters.

Alexandra Krosney (Kristin) was fired from the program on June 11, 2012 due to creative differences. In season 2, Krosney was replaced by Amanda Fuller. Furthermore, why was Mandy replaced by Last Man Standing (Last Man Standing) (Last Man Standing (Last Man Standing))? Molly McCook is a writer.

As you probably know, Last Man Standing is taking its final bow after nine whole seasons. Which is making us collectively more nostalgic and more likely to go down a Last Man Standing rabbit hole at 1 a.m. One detail that’s kept us up is Alexandra Krosney’s abrupt exit from the show. Alexandra (who played Kristin Baxter) was replaced by Amanda …
Some fans were so intense (and even mean) about the change, they took it out on the new Kristin, aka Amanda Fuller. “Everyone has their set mind of what that character is. [They’ve] already met them and got used to them. You have to earn the audience’s love and respect, and that can be a process sometimes.
