Actually, according to IMDB, Richard Kiley, who played Dr. Ferrand in Judgement Day, died in 1999. The Christy series was done in 1994-95. So the series was over even before he passed away.

I should have clarified he wasn't able to do the Christy movies because he had already passed away. I thought he passed away closer to the series ending than he did, but I was referring to the movies.

Have you seen the Christy movies? There are very few originals from the series on there and not because they passed away either. Even Kellie Martin, who played Christy in the series, didn't play Christy in the movies. Randall Batinkoff who played David in the series didn't play David in the movies.
Even Stewart had to re-audition for his part because they weren't just going to let him have it back. So I doubt they would have used the original Dr. Ferrand even if he hadn't passed away. It's sad really, because I think the movies would have been better with as many of the originals as possible.

I have seen and own the final movie. As much as I enjoyed Kellie Martin in the role of Christy, and I think she is a better actress than Lauren Lee, I really enjoyed the chemistry Stewart had with Lauren. I think she made the character a little more plausible in falling in love with Neil.

There was always a possibility that had Richard Kiley lived, he would have re-auditioned and gotten the part of Dr. Ferrand. I enjoyed him in the role more than the one used in the movies.
