Ohh Okay thanks for clearing that up John. I couldnt remember.

I'm on my lunch break at work and dont have time to weed through all the posts, but thanks for whomever started this topic. I find it very interesting and a nice walk down memory lane. Here are some temporary replacements I remember: Catherine Hickland subbed for Katherine Kelly Lang as Brooke on B&B. I forget if this when she was out on another maternity leave or if she was sick. Sandra Ferguson (ex-Amanda, AW) also subbed for KKL on B&B as well. Didn't Sarah Aldrich sub for Heather Tom in the role of Victoria on Y&R for a day or so?? I know that Aldrich was being considered as a recast for the role one of the time's Tom left, but I thought I remember seeing or hearing that she had actually stepped in to the role of Victoria for a day or so.

I thought I had heard somewhere that they had wanted Charles Keating for the role of Alistar on Passions. Perhaps I am wrong about that though.

Another temporary recast I remembered was Anthony Adabbo, who temporarily took over the role of Dimitri Marick on All My Children in April 2001 after the network let Michael Nader go for selling cocaine to an undercover police officer. Shane McRae was a temporary recast in the role of Paul Cramer in 2004 on One Life to Live. In 2000, Felicity LaFortune was a temporary recast in the role of Nora Buchanan. In the '80's, Justin Deas was a temporary replacement for Gerald Anthony in the role of Marco Dane on One Life to Live. Sydney Penny was a temporary recast for Susan Ward in the role of Meg on Sunset Beach in 1999. Carmen Duncan (Iris, AW) filled in for Eileen Fulton as Lisa on As The World Turns in 2004, when Fulton was out on emergency medical leave. Betty Runnell was a temporary recast in the role of Nancy Hughes on As The World Turns throughout 1988/89. Graham Winton temporary replacement for Michael Morrison in the role of Caleb Snyder on As The World Turns in 1989. Lisa Robbins was a temporary replacement for Lisa Brown in the role of Iva Snyder on As The World Turns in 1992.

Are you including just daytime temporary replacements?? If not then here is one from primetime: Donna Reed was a temporary replacement for Barbara Bel Geddes as Miss Ellie on Dallas. I think this was around the time Bel Geddes had open heart surgery. I saw it mentioned about Lane Davies being a recast for Ronn Moss on B&B. I am trying to think of some others I remember while I'm on my lunch break...I'll keep thinking.
