Im surprised DOOL hasnt brought Stephen back as Julie's beother

I am surprised JR stayed as long as she did as Jessica

I believe Melrose s 1 brgan producton in April 1992 and debuted in July 1992 with S1 wrapping March 1993 and ending the season in May 1993 so that is a year,of production, wow

She wasnt Tamara but I thought she was decent

Praising Ellen Wheeler

I cant remember if that was a catalyst but i think it was more Vanessa (Marj Dusay)

Did Joanna Reinhart as Jessica have any major story during her 5 years or was she just Oakdale Lawyer

So they gave that SL to Opal. Jill Larson objected but ahe said the producers said that the audience below the bible belt like Opal, so when Opal has an awakening athey hoped the biblr belt audience would too

AMC screwed her bigtime for someone who quit a year later

I'd love Vanessa Williams to be involved too

A few recasting Questions What happened with OG Derek Frye? Did William Quit. I liked Charles Parnell but Jerome Preston Bates seemed too old as Derek What happend with OG Isabella Santos Did Socorro Santiago quit after 11 years There seemed to be a personality switch SS was more motherly & Loving Maryann Urbano was more cold & bitchy Found that recast puzzling

What was her OLTL role about. Also on GL didnt Vivian turn Gabrielle in & she go deported

BAB was up for Marah & I Think Martha Madison was up for Michelle but with the cancellation. BAB got a day play role & NSA returned as Michelle Did Brockington have the longest run as Felecia

I dont think jE would have left AW for GL but once AW ended,, I could have seen her back as GL's Beth. Chamberlin was good but Judi had more emotional range imho

Funny thing is that, Susan Ward who took months off to do a film, actually signed a new contract just before NBC canned the show

Chris Marcantel was also excellent as Curtis. O feel he was the best actor in the role

In 1999, Kirsten Storms auditioned for Days' Belle & B&B's Bridget. Days learned about the B& B audition so they quickly signed her as DOOL's Belle https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/tbt-kirsten-storms/

Speaking of Dusty when they recast in 2003 they were also considering AW's Mark Mortimer (Nick Hudson). I wish he would have gotten the gig. He even resembles OG Dusty, Brian Bloom

Was Brenner dropped because AW wanted a Maggie Break? Wonder why they never brought Maggie back As for the Nick's Justin Chambers was fired because JFP wanted her pal, Kevin McClatchy but did he quit or did they fire him after JFP left & replaced him with Mark Mortimer

I feel the waivers will state that they took all precautions (Temp Checks/Testing) but if u get sick we did all we could and people will sign them. Im sure all the unions will have a say in how this is all done in the USA as well

Regarding The Maggie recasts in 1995: I know Robyn Griggs was photographed with John Wayne Bobbit so AW fired her Jodi Lyn O'Keefe was only 16/17 at the time so maybe age got her fired. She began Nash Bridges soon After Lisa Brenner was there a year & was written off due to story right?

im speaking of how it could look for US Soaps

I feel there will be waivers that all sign that says the unions & productions have taken best precautions Then I could see Temp checks

However during that time she did pop up every couple months for an episode or two

Goutman wanted Howarth and saw it as a get to grab him from OLTL/ABC I was mad that Holroyd got switched out OLTL offered him Kevin Buchanan but the way ATWT burned him he wasnt interested
