Why why why?

hildy89Sorry, having a Kerrigan moment here. ABC Family has offered the ultimate insult by offering a direct-to-tv/dvd movie sequel to "Cutting Edge" about the daughter of the original team. The movie had its flaws, but it had a guilty pleasure quality. Here is the offending description of the plot:
THE CUTTING EDGE 2: GOING FOR THE GOLD (ABC Family, New!) - A small-screen sequel to the 1990 D.B. Sweeney/Moira Kelly-led feature is set to premiere on the cable channel on Sunday, March 12 at 7:00/6:00c following a rebroadcast of the original film. Here's how the network's press materials describe the project: "In the sequel to the hit movie "The Cutting Edge," Christy Carlson Romano stars as Jackie, the daughter of Doug Dorsey, a fallen hockey player, and Kate Moseley, a tough-talking ice princess, who fell in love despite their differences on the ice rink. Following in the footsteps of her parents, Jackie has worked hard to make a name for herself on the ice but after she suffers from a potentially career-ending fall, Jackie must switch to pairs skating in order to make her dream of going to the Olympics a reality. Finding a partner in extreme in-line skater Alex Harrison, the two must put aside their love-hate feelings to push themselves harder than ever before to go for Olympic glory."
Neither of the original stars are anywhere in evidence. More disturbing, there is no Kate listed in the list of characters. I hope that's simply a mistake and they're not going to saddle the poor child with the same issues her mother had. Otherwise, they really are using the same plot. Never mind if they went real time with the timeline, she'd be barely 14!
Cutting Edge caps
Must consider trading up for the DVD version of the original at some point.
