Because they constantly wrote him like an idiot?

Why you don't like Overton? ( I think I can imagine why though)

'Guiding Light' Episode Entered into National Recording Registry - Daytime Confidential

I couldn't said it better myself!!!

They wasted that teen scene so badly... Reed was for paying for porn online like it was 2003...

I forgot about her. How do you think she would've done with writing characters like Lisa? Bob? John? I'm struggling to see how she would write for the latter two. Although Pam Long was known for writing her male characters well for the most part.

I'm ready for the teens to get at least more adult material then they're currently getting at the moment.

I'm not sure how Pam would've written Duncan and Jessica? I could see her bringing in Shannon in earlier. She probably would've have had a better hold on The Snyder's too. And for the Hughes something tells me she would've done well for Kim and Nancy for some reason. I could also see her possibly bringing on a recast Frannie.

🤣🤣🤣 The best audition in years ... Oh Paul Rauch!!!

Thanks for reminding me of that nightmare.

Which characters you think Long would've done well by writing wise? I'm curious to read others thoughts on the matter.

They get rid of Eric Steinberg's Ji-Min Kim. But the show kept putting Jill back with Colin even when he made her look like a buffoon which should be the direct opposite of Jess Walton's Jill Foster-Abbott. Though I know Jess liked working with Tristan Rogers at the same time the writers didn't have to make her look dumb by association as well. I remember Colleen talking about how she gained weight since she either stopped doing ballet or left New York or something like that if I remember correctly. I wonder were they heading into a eating-disorder storyline with Adrienne's Colleen. I think Lily was originally going to develop one possibly when she had first started modeling and Chloe had said something about her having too much dressing on her salad.

I did like Adrienne Leon too as Colleen. . I recall the character mentioning about putting on some weight since she came back to town. So that's how allegedly we got Dani Sutherland from Home and Away because they were trying to make her a pop star? Funny enough Tammin was starting to come into her own as Colleen for me about a few months before the character was stupidly killed off. I would've preferred she ended up in a coma until in about three months for a recast. Who killed off Ji Min? Was it David Chow? Some of the time period of YR is fuzzy to me.

Kristina should be Lucky Santangelo who should be getting involved in her father's organization as a way to take back her control after being in Dawn Of Day. She should be challenging Jason stating she is Sonny's daughter meaning she should be the one to take over. But right now Kristina is a glorified legacy day player along with sister Molly. I would rather see the younger Davis sisters on canvas daily than Willow and Sasha. RE : Brenda Her goddaughter, along with her second family The Q's being revitalized at the moment too. She could definitely help shake up that house too if she decided to stay there on behest of Lois who is worried about Brookie and her grandchild. She also could be there to help her old friend Lucy with Deception. As well as her and Carly going at it but understands what she is going through with "losing" Sonny too. Though I wish they would recast Lois who would be all over her pregnant daughter despite her being an adult now.

Most definitely!!!

I forgot about Sharon and Drucilla!!! I miss their friendship so much. Sharon could use Dru right about now.

I think GT was going back to OLTL at the time and didn't want to relocate to the West Coast. This was before Villy 1.0 happened. Now that you mentioned I remember hearing about Rachel Kimsey too and I was like okay... I also heard Jamie Luner was up for Carly after Tamara Braun left GH. I also believe Megan Ward and Jenna Gering (Galen Gering's wife) were contenders for Carly too.

Does anyone know who else was up for the role of Victoria in 2005? I know Carrie Genzel (Skye # 3 on AMC) was a contender. Sally Sussman and Kay Alden were the only ones who was able to write her as Victoria with strength which made me take notice of her in a scene when she was going off on Juliet in that tiny Brash & Sassy set. Although, I wasn't keen on them writing her as a "Suburban Soccer Mom" who couldn't balance motherhood and business. I'm like you have five-hundred-million dollars go hire nannies for each child.

Well her character on Loving did have an eating disorder...

It's sad when you go back to watch Amelia Heinle on Loving as Steffi Brewster she had so much charisma and potential as an actress it makes you do a double-take.
