Passions: Actors on other Soaps

I think most would stay...for a TRIAL period until they could land something better

According to the Media Life article, the cast would have to be reduced by a lot. The main three storylines probably would still receive the bulk of screentime, but the performers in those three storylines have the best chances of landing other gigs...

Drew is totally right. I think the recasts were one of Passion's biggest issues. Once in awhile, they found a good replacement or an even better actor then the original portrayer but most times the recasts sucked.

Honestly, if the show goes to the net only, I can see most of the cast not staying with it. The paychecks and lack of exposure would be major drawbacks.

If it somehow has a miracle and gets on another network, then maybe some will stay.

Lindsey Hartley is going to be the one everyone goes after. Her and Emily Harper. They are both in the right age bracket the networks like and have the right look to them. Hartley can go the route of her husband and so primetime and film but she always said she liked daytime because of the schedule. I would love her on Days because I love her but I do agree that B&B would suit her right. I don't want her on ABC though.

Harper I could definitely see at Days sometime. She does have the look and could mingle with the young cast. NBC clearly loves her as she has had the clothing line and now an online site devoted to her character. Passions was pushing her big time in 2006 so I could see her on Days.

Silvana on OLTL would be a nice fit. Juliet Mills will go back to broadway and film. I can't see her doing anymore daytime. Ulrich and Evans I think could go to any of the CBS soaps. I don't know if Evans would do OLTL again but I would love it if she did.

Masters will retire. He said he would in an interview with SOD in the fall. He said Passions was his last acting job and, if it ever went off, he would be done. If it stayed on the air, he would stay at the show so Ben will just retire. Tracey Ross is an ok actress so I could see her turning up in a supporting role on an ABC soap.

Brook Kerr and Cathy Doe are very talented and I would love for any soap to hire them.

Liza Huber is hard to figure. She once said she didn't want to be compared and constantly lumped in with her mother so I don't think she would do AMC. AMC would probably go after her. I could see her on another ABC show though.

I want to see Nicole Cox on something too. She is a better actress then many of the Passions recasts and she is only a toddler. :lol:

Jared Stevenson will find work. He's already done primetime before Passions. Mueller will find work too as she is young and gorgeous. ABC will be a good fit for her.

Tamargo, Hyde, and Van Johnson I have no clue. I love Eva Tamargo so anywhere she goes I would check out. I am still waiting for someone to pick up John Reilly. I love him. I also want to see Kelli McCarty, Kathleen Noone, Marianne Muerielle, and the great Bam Bam find roles as well :lol:

It's funny that you say that because I can see her being the one to stick with the show if it goes internet or something else. I can see her figuring it's a paycheck so why not, because I get the sense that's why she ended up on the show in the first place.

Also: word on the kid playing Endora and Kelli McCarty. Bug-eyed Beth was one of the things I'll always be grateful for, and it'd be cool to see her bugging out on some other show.

Kelli McCarty actually has her own clothing line for golfers and she has been on various shows. I think she did some Disney Channel stuff too.

I could see Juliet staying with the show on the net too. If the show doesn't end up with a new home or if the new home doesn't work out, then I think broadway and film will be it for her if anything at all.

:D Most Definitely! A smile came across my face when the announcement of PASSIONS cancellation was made. I just pictured Andrea back as Tina on ONE LIFE. I do feel sorry for you PASSIONS fans and know what it's like to lose a fave soap. I loved SANTA BARBARA until the last year or so, but still watched it when it was cancelled, same goes for RYAN's HOPE, EDGE OF NIGHT, LOVING & THE CITY as well as all of the great primetime soaps of the past. So I know how you guys feel.

I love Kathleen Noone from her days as Ellen on AMC and Claudia on KNOTS LANDING, so I'd like to see her on another show.

I also think Tracey Ross would make a good Lexie, if Renée Jones didn't want to come back when DAYS brings Lexie back, and I think DAYS will do so before the end of the year.

I hope to GOD it won't be on the Internet! Or wait, no, I meant, I hope to God that, if it goes on, it wouldn't be PAY-PER-VIEW! Yuck! Maybe they could find a way to just air the show on the net with commercials for Garnier Fructis and all the other major "Passions" sponsors, just like it's on TV. Because I really don't see diehard fans paying $.99 per episode of the show. Especially if you're hooked.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
