While they both have long blond hair, I honestly don't see any resemblance between them. To me, they have completely different facial features and voices.
I personally just don't think they're identical or interchangeable. To me, they look and act nothing alike.Switch the actresses into each others character roles and have them play that scene. The actresses were completely interchangeable or acting identically.
At first I thought I would not like the new Claire. She looked older in the pics I saw originally but doesn't seem older in the videos. I can get use to her but did any one notice how she kept making "wide" eyes when the camera was on her the first day? I hope that doesn't continue. It kind of annoyed me but I'll give it time. I'm thinking she was just nervous & excited. Lord knows I would be nervous and excited too work with all those on the cast of Days.
