GL recasts Marah/Actress returns to role.

Roger, in your 20s, those are major years. Like on ATWT, I'm guessing Spencer Grammer is like 21-ish, but they're showing her as a Doctor and it's completely unbelievable. She can play younger, but certainly not older. I doubt this girl can, but the fact that she is a former Marah is a plus.

YAAYE! I LOVED Kimberly J. Brown as Marah! I grew up watching her.

Only thing is though, would this re-write the aging of the character, as others have said?! And is this a temporary visit or a permanent gig?

Either way, this makes me SO HAPPY as a 90's GL fan.

I know everyone hated Michelle, but if they decided to snatch up Rachel Miner, I would be in H-E-A-V-E-N! Maybe even Bryan Buffington!(OK, maybe I'm going a bit overboard with this now).

Definitely a GREAT move by TIIC. But now that I think about it, I would take ANYONE over Lindsay McKeon, who was just overrated and WAY too glossy. But McKeon was also a victim of REEEALLY shitty writing also.

and Dylan? Two things... will it be Morgan Englund, and how will they explain Bridget?

Dunno how anyone else feels about this, but if Morgan Englund is the same guy that has been playing him during the sporadic visits, I'd be all for it. But only because I get the gay vibe from him.

Both Brown and Ashley Peldon (best remember child Marah) are only 2 years younger than Lindsey McKeon (last Marah). Have you *seen* Ashley lately?! WOW. Anyway, in some pics of Brown, she looks *so* much like the late Sherry Mathis, best known as SFT's Liza Sentell (of Travis & Liza fame).

Is Dylan returning fulltime? Oh, wow! I wonder if we can get a recast Bridget or a SORASed Peter out of this. Little tidbit on Morgan Englund (Dylan) that I'm sure more recent viewers don't know --- he's the son of Chloris Leachman.

Just curious: Why recast Bridget? Why not bring back Melissa Hayden(who I adore!). And this is NOT just for nostalgia. I've always wanted Bridget back on the show.

Well, I was thinking recast only if Hayden was unavailable (or unwilling) to return to the role. I don't even know if she's still acting.

  • Member

whoa, at first, I misread that as Kimberlin Brown, LoL.

Anyway, this is great! I remember her as Marah from back in the day when I watched... she was on around the Annie Dutton days, no? Anyway, love her! She's a very watchable, rootable actress.

I also would've loved Laura Bell Bundy. Her smile was so infectious!

I hate to say it but I think she is too young and given how they've butchered Marah in the Lindsey McKeon years, I don't think this can work. Who can buy this poor girl with Tony, with Jeffrey? It's gross.

I remember when Kimberly J. Brown left GL and was then touted as an up and coming young star when she did the indie film Tumbleweeds. It's a shame not too much came of that. She was in Stephen King's Rose Red a few years back and she looked too young for Marah then too. She's quite talented, it's just I'm not sure how this will play.

ROTFLMAO, you said what I couldn't at the time I first read this news!!! It is gross.

"Who can buy this poor girl with Tony, with Jeffrey? It's gross."

Well, to be fair, not even Bundy and McKeon looked very good with Tony and Jeffrey.

Remember the scene where McKeon's Marah practically begged Tony to rape her? My gosh.

I think she's still acting. She has a b/w headshot on imdb.com. Either she or her management may be trying to pimp her for future soap roles. I doubt her headshot would be there otherwise.

(BTW, her resemblance to Lisa Brown is just amazing. Major props to Betty Rea, who I believe was GL's casting director at that time.)

I am just glad she will be back. Who cares if she looks younger than previous Marah. Look at Leah...talk about really aging a character. :lol:

Well I wasn't watching GL when Kimberly Brown was Marah but I have watched most of her Halloweentown movies on the Disney channel. :blink:
