Jean-Luc definitely didn't fit the show. I think they were looking for another full-time character to replace Cody. What is even sadder is I heard years later that the allegations against Sasha Mitchell were false. They should have kept Sasha Mitchell on the show, especially since he claimed his innocence all along, until the facts came out at least.
I don't have a problem with Lilly. She was a cute child. Yes, the show was on its last legs by the time she arrived, but that is what most long-running sitcoms do (usually after they Jump the Shark, lol). They add a small child or other character to try to have a few more storylines.
Rich was okay, but featured too much. He was fine for the occasional guest appearance. What was bizarre about that was the show never seemed to find Brenden much to do and the last season dropped him from the show, yet they found plenty of stories for Rich. -

Brendan. Was he even a character? He's the Judy Winslow of Step by Step.
Jean-Luc. Agree with the ones who said he's not a good replacement for Cody. Thankfully they got rid of him in the last season.
Lilly. Cute little kid, well, yeah. -

Wasn't Brendan actually on more episodes and had more lines than Judy did on FM? Anyways I think the three worst were Jean-Luc/Flash tied for first, Lily, and for some reason Dana. I know she was ok sometimes but it kind of seemed like she was too negative sometimes. The other question should be top 3 best cast members. My top 3 favorites are Cody, Karen, and JT. All of the other characters were ok.

for some reason dana
dana was an elitist bitch and I really don't get why. her mother seemed great at parenting and would often have to rein dana and her political/educational propaganda in. from mentoring lilly to her thinking she knows the be all and end all of childtending, she was just so full of herself it wasn't even funny.
and her being a bitch to the tijata police makes us look so bad.
she seemed to be bitchier when she platinumed her hair.
Karen was a little shallow but she got better over time, like with Bird the Nerd, and coming to Al's rescue when that Jockstrap tried to lie about her.
Mark got better, too and he even had an obsession/almost addiction [the video game]. so that made him more or less normal.
what did dana have to showcase her normalcy or even admit that she was normal?? nothing. she was the one who needed the most psychological help and here is everyone else encouraging her to be a lawyer/whatever. I really didn't think she wanted to help people in need of law guidance, she just wanted to beat the opponent down to size [nothing] and bury the judge in 'dana foster is awesome' bitchiness.
I hope she would be disbarred soon after passing. she was a terrible person with no soul.
OH THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU SO

Carole was
not
always a good role model. She could treat her husband like crap, like when she refused to let him even
taste
some of the lobster, that they had gotten as payment for a job that
he
did, and let Dana mock him at the same time. And yeah, she and Jean-Luc just
had
to win the bowling match against Frank and his "male chauvinist" friend
. I really don't find it hard to believe that Dana turned into a condescending extremist feminist, or indeed that Karen turned into a air-headed bimbo. They were simply channelling different traits from their mother! -

Yes he appeared in more episodes, he was always kind of there before disappearing (with no explanation) in the last season, but I don't remember the kid ever doing anything other than stealing Mark's ice cream in the intro. -

-Dana
I agree completely with what the previous poster said. She was a know-it-all, condescending bitch. It pissed me off how she was always so mean to Cody, even though he was nothing but nice to her.
-Lily
The whole "cutsie, youngest child" routine got old fast.
-Rich
As the previous poster said, Jason Marsden largely plays the same character in every role. Also, he was very condescending, so I guess it's no surprise he ended up with Dana.
