Brenda Epperson was my favorite Ashley. I wish she never left.

Jill was Y&R and she should have never been marginalized the way she was! Y&R without Jill is AMC without Erica or OLTL without Vicki (had AMC and OLTL not been cancelled).

Again, all wrong. At least Randy Spelling passes for the blonde all American California boy. Jonathan Jackson does not fit that description.

Don't you mean Susan Ward?

Jonathan Jackson would have been so out of place on Sunset Beach.

Did anyone or can anyone elaborate on the Alden/Scott feud?

I love to know more about this too!

Love LaDickson!

Jill has been ruined since 2003 but it would have been interesting to see Lynn Herring playing a real bitchy diva a la Jill prior to 1998.

That's who the online rags were reporting at the time. I don't recall Lynn Herring and Kelly McGillis as potential recasts for Jill, do you know where this was mentioned. I can see Lynn Herring being the best possible choice as opposed to the other three, but I can't recall seeing Lynn Herring and Kelly McGillis' names popping up.

Wasn't all the gossip Anna Stuart and Victoria Wyndham were flown to LA as contenders for the part?

When was this? 2008-2009?

I think she almost became Victoria Newman and I think that would have worked.

Was there a reason why he never wanted them back?

Question for DeeeDee, did Bill Bell ever considering bringing back the Foster and the Brooks kids like Jennifer, Chuckie or Brooks or think of making some up that were born off screen to add to the canvas and give Jill more store?

Really? I wonder if thats true. If so, anyone have any info? She would have been interesting on GL.

How bad was she?

How long was Bond Gideon in the role of Jill for? Less than 6 months?

Thanks for sharing that, Carl. Why do you think they wouldn't mature Tara?

But do you think the cast getting too big with the new additions plus the Brooks/Fosters/Prentis family's would have caused some negative impacts on the style of the show or made it seem like he was just recycling stories with new characters while the old characters were still around?

Thanks, DeeeDee. Do you know if the clip is still around? Also, I've always wondered (and I think you'd be able to give a great answer to this)do you think Y&R would have still been successful if Bell didn't write out Leslie, Lorie, Chris, Snapper, Greg, Lucas and Lance?

Can you elaborate more on this, Carl? I've always found it interesting that 2 members of a core family just evaporated the way Jeff and Tara did.

I heard NBC offered Lucci a role on any of their soaps in the 80s. I wonder if that was true. Its interesting though because KLG tried out for Erica and Lucci tried out for Tara. I could see Lucci as Tara, but I don't think I could EVER see anyone in the role of Erica except for Susan. I wonder though, if Lucci played Tara if she'd still be on today and if the role of Erica would have just disappeared the way Tara did with Gorney in the role.

Carl, thanks for that scene. I've always wanted to see that! Thanks for posting this, Carl. I've seen this before. The one I was thinking of though was when Jill goes to see Phillip and Katherine and Rex say he's with Nina and the baby and that's when Jill makes the comment about her son being out with that worn out tramp, Nina. It was on YouTube a while back but I guess someone took it down. Maybe it was from 1988 or 89.

Are there any clips out there of Phillip dying and Jill from that time? I'd love to see the scenes between Jill/Phillip/Kay and Nina around this time. Also, whatever happened to the clip of Jill saying "You mean my son is out with that worn out tramp." In regard to Nina. I think this was 1987?
