Members Drew Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 They should have kept Mickey #2, or get him back. He was a perfect John Clarke recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 The sad part is that Mickey's not even needed. I could undrestand if Deidre Hall announced she was retiring tomorrow. DAYS would need to get a new actress to play that role. Although it would not be accepted, Marlena is a character that is needed on the show. Mickey Horton? Not so much.

Members KBT Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I say bring it on as well! Stuart and Rogers would rock together and Stuart could definitely play a great lawyer. I always thought Ingle was wrong for the role of Mickey because he and Francis Reid look close to the same age. Rogers and Damon would look so much better together. I would ONLY want this if Mickey and Maggie were actually given a real storyline though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hogan, THAT'S not the point. The truth is a miniscule portion of DAYS audience watched from day one. And that really does matter anyway, and recasting a role does not mean disrespecting a portrayer. Mickey doesn't belong to Clarke; he belongs to DAYS. Clarke does not have soap superstar status like Hall or Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 What I don't get is why they even bother recasting Mickey when they know they're not even going to use him? It's a waste of space and money, both of which are very limited these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 But why recast a role that you won't use? I mean, Salem citizens have legal battles once ever 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 That is why I think if he is coming back, he will be part of a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm not arguing with you on that. I just think it was totally wrong to recast Mickey when JC decided to leave. That's just how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I hope this is not true. Mickey doesn't seem like a role that would do Stuart Damon justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'll wait for some confirmation before I keep going on about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 ITA! However, Mickey walks the straight and narrow and Stuart Damon can play evil/mean fanstastically. Could he be Victor's brother or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't think anyone's debating the fact that Stuart Damon could play this role. He's a great actor and I'm sure he can play anything with range. I just see no reason to hire a recast for Mickey unless the writers have storyline in store for Mickey and Maggie. And I'm not talking about bringing on Mickey, just to kill him off. You could do that without a recast. God, how much I miss John Clarke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DrewH Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Have you watched Damon ever? The man could make the role of an apple in a kindergarten play seem interesting. That's not the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I know he's a good actor; I'm not disputing that. He just wouldn't fit as Mickey, IMO. I'm not criticizing his acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
