Kate Collins as Mindy, whoa. She was young enough but seemed significantly older.

I think KC woulds been good

Kate Collins as Mindy on GL in 1993. Kate Collins also auditioned for GH not sure what role though

Brant Daugherty (Brian, DOOL) auditioned for Will. Chandler Massey got the role.

Watching the JENNIFER RICHARDS TRIAL DVD now, I'm reminded that Elizabeth Berridge was a temp Morgan Richards. This must've been just before she was cast as Allison Linden in TEXAS.

Anyway you can post the video???

A Playlist of Julie's wedding to Dylan on GL. Sean McDermott filled in for Leonard Stabb as Hart Jessup in Fall 1993, following Stabb's accident

I wonder if he initially thought of casting her as Santana. She would have been too old but might have been better received than Wanda de Jesus.

Jed Allen would have probably been happier with BL as Santana as well

Anyone have Judith Barcroft as OLTL's Viki?

GL had the chance to recast Cassie in 2005 with Cynthia Preston (ex-Faith Roscoe, GH) but chose Nicole Forrester instead. WTF!!!

What is the longest temp replacement? Would you consider Jen Lilly a temp? She was technically a placeholder until Kirsten could return.

Yes I would & I believe she will be the longest one. 11 months.

This is the most we've probably seen of Christine Jones as Viki.

Thanks. That is interesting.

Kim Zimmer said in an interview when promoting her arrival on Santa Barbara in 1992 that After leaving GL in August 1990 and moving to LA, Generations offered her a role in 1990. Zimmer never said what role it was & probably best she didnt say yes, Given that Generations left NBC airwaves in January 1991.

Mark Schneider temping for Joel Crothers as Jack Lee On August 28, 1985

Santa Barbara Fans Help Please

Before Jed Allan became CC There was a temp CC from Dec 13 1985-Jan 7, 1986 according to santabarbara-online.com

Here is a pic. Any idea what actor this is?

Mark wasn't a great actor but he improved and I liked him on AW. I can't see him as Dusty (too young) but I wish someone had cast him.

MM was born April 1967 and GM was born October 1968. GM is younger

Mark Mortimer was also on the short list for the Dusty recast that Grayson McCouch got on ATWT in 2003

December 99 Digest

Hank Cheyne and Mark Mortimer tested for AMC's Jake recast.

Given that MM was born in 1967, I could see him as Jake. That means we wouldnt have had J Eddie Peck. Damn I wish it was Hank or Mark instead

Anyone have the temp Nikki & Lauren from Y&R?

i think gL was thinking to recast Gilly and or Vivian. Could Darnell have played Hampton Speakes?

Any deets on roles GL had in mind???

October 1998 Digest - actors who auditioned for DAYS' role of "the man from Nicole's past" included Randolph Mantooth, Forry Smith, and Frank Converse.

I guess that was the man who knew she was in porn. I can't remember who played him.

Eddie Valez it was her father, Paul if I remember correctly

Two of the contenders for Tabitha on Passions were Karen Black & Sharon Wyatt

Names rumored as recasts when OLTL fired Kale Browne as Sam:

Gregg Marx, Dennis Parlato, Randolph Mantooth, John Martin.

Kind of off they'd even consider two actors who had been fairly high profile on OLTL (especially Parlato).

Greg woulda been good. John Martin had already played John Russell on OLTL from 1986-89 and 1991-92 and on GH in 1992, so maybe thats why ABC passed on him for Sam.

Kinda funny that the Sam recast happened what before LIVE WEEK & Dennis Parlato was seen at the casino in a scene. Remember matt at the end of each of the lIVE shows, saying I see Dead people and then the dead character was the one who showed the end credits

Cynthia Preston tested as GH's Summer before the role of Faith was created for her.

Maeve Quinlan tested for AMC's "Dinah" (I assume that was Di).

I think Dinah was a code for Dee Kozack a role that was featured in the A&E AMC Bio in 2002. It was a role they ended up scrapping

I believe SH is 43/44 and BAB is 29. She'd have been about 24 if she had been cast as Marty which would have made no sense almost 15 years after her famous college story

BAB turned 30 in october. SH turns 44 June 10th

In 2006 before becoming Talia, Beth Ann Bonner screen tested for Marty Sayebrooke on OLTL

Beth talks about it here

http://www.welovesoa...onner.html#more

Talia was originally named, Deandra

Rachel Miner as Greenlee would have been good IMHO

Any of those three males would have made a better Brad than that piece of wood we got for a month

Was that 1994 or 2002 /2007 recasts of Mike?
