The Simpsons get their own spin-off, "The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour" which Lisa refused to participate in and thus replaced by this attractive older model.
The replacement of Lisa with this actress reflects the recasting of Jan Brady in The Brady Bunch Hour, an infamous spin-off from The Brady Bunch, when Eve Plumb refused to participate.My mother stated after The Brady Bunch Hour simply "Fred Silverman (Head of NBC at the time) should be shot."
Lisa acts as the moral compass and voice of reason in the Simpson family however she is normally shunned out by her parents and school. She constantly contradicts Homer and Bart whenever they do something reckless, stupid or illegal and on one occasion, Marge. When it was revealed that Homer and Bart were the mysterious Beer Baron that was supplying beer to Springfield when the town was on prohibition and Marge was impressed with her husband's work as it was "the cleverest thing he's done since high school". Lisa constantly portrays herself as morally superior, even when she's in the wrong. An example would be after becoming a vegetarian she ruined Homer's barbecue and later apologized when Apu gave her advice to tolerate others and their beliefs.
While Marge is the foil to Homer, Lisa is in many ways the opposite of her slow-witted and ignorant father. She is aware of the problems of the world and does her best to help them. A supporter of PETA, a Buddhist and vegetarian, Lisa is extremely passionate about her beliefs but also tended to force them on other people. She is normally without parental involvement in her life and practically raised herself as a toddler due to Homer's laziness and because of this she displays remarkable independence from Homer and Marge. She also displays massive trivial knowledge and possesses keen intellectual insight however is still naive and childish because of her age.
Despite being cursed with "Simpson Genes", Lisa remains the most intelligent and sophisticated of her family. From the earliest age, she has shown academic intelligence and was a member of Mensa (a group of the smartest people in Springfield). A teacher's pet and proud of it, though she gets the highest marks in most of classes she still demands the best of herself, coming close to breaking Miss Hoover's hand when she gave her a B in gym. Lisa constantly questions her heritage as a Simpson, even wondering if she was adopted and couldn't understand where she fit in with Homer and Bart that is until she met her grandma Mona, claiming with her she made a lot of sense.She was seen lining up for a gymnastics class with Lisa, and joined a Tap Dancing school owned by Vicky Valentine.
While there, she met Lisa Simpson, whose family was also on vacation and had the intention of making new friends and leaving her nerdy self back in Springfield. By acting like her brother Bart, Lisa immediately clicked with them and takes them skateboarding at the library.
Bart discovered she's acting like him and decided to try to steal her friends. He first showed off his skateboarding moves to try and impress them; he failed. Erin asked Lisa who that was; she replied that he was her dorky brother Bartholomew, making sure she didn't use his nickname 'Bart'. Then he showed them Lisa's yearbook (which has all of Lisa's nerdy accomplishments) and Lisa, assuming they won't like her anymore, runs off crying. However, Erin and the group realized that Lisa is a good person and they glue shells on thefamily car that says "Lisa Rules." They also signed her yearbook.
Erin is friends with Ben, Dean, and Rick and enjoys skateboarding. Her favorite show is Baywatch.
