Cady to DOOL?


Recommended Posts

Cady would make a great Horton girl: Jennifer, Melissa, Sarah, Sandy or a Grayson member from Alice's Side, we don't know anyone from Alice side of the family. Create a new story for Hope/Doug/Julie and a woman coming to town claiming to be Doug's daughter and have someone compete for Doug's Love with Hope and Julie. build up the Dimera Clan, cast her a DiMera cousin (sometimes cousin don't do to well on Days, look at Colin Murphy) or maybe even cast her as a new Kiriakis or someone from Maggie's family, we don't know any of the Simmons. You really don't have to recast just had on new characters and tie them to Vets on the show, and you have a beautiful story, if it is written correctly.

I could see Cady coming on as Kristen if Hogan had no plans to ever show Susan. He could find a way to explain the backstory without ever showing Susan. Now, I know that people say that no character is non-recastable, but I think we can all agree that no one actress can play the role of Susan Banks except for Eileen. Cady would have to not only learn the mannerisms of Kristen, but the many many many mannerisms of Susan as well. It would be a bad idea.

Kristen, yes. Susan, hell no!

I don't think she's strong enough to be a recast of this role. What about Kristina Wagner? I've always pegged her as the perfect Jennifer, but she should be able to handle a role like Kristen.

OH GOD, please no!

I have felt that way in the past too but have had to eat those words. I am at the point now I think any role can be recast if done right.

If casting directors and the producers felt that way the soap world would have missed out on:

Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott and Jack would have been gone when Terry Lester left (because no one thought he could be replaced)

Jess Walton as Jill Foster Abbott (many felt that both Brenda Dickson or Deborah Adair were irreplaceable on the show)

Many felt that no one could replace Robin Strasser as Rachel on AW but the producers felt different and we got Victoria Wyndham.

No one felt that Gillian Spencer could be replaced as Victoria Lord but the producers didn't feel that way and Vicki stayed around and we got Erika Slezak.

The same way for both Nancy Pinkerton and Claire Malis as Dorian. Everyone loved them but TPTB still kept the character when both left, and we got Robin Strasser.

I just have come to learn that any role can be recast if they do it right. The key is finding the right one. Many of the recasts have come to be more popular than the original.

IA.

The only characters that I feel are TRULY unrecastable are Nancy Hughes, Alice Horton and Lisa Miller.

And to a lesser extent Bob and Kim Hughes, Stephanie Forrester, Audrey Hardy and Erica Kane.

I have no idea bout Y&R.

I would love it if Y&R snapped up Cady the way they did VI. I would also love to see her back on ATWT, although I know there are reasons that's unlikely to happen.

I agree about nearly every role being recastable though. Just look at Edward on GH. John Ingle is wonderful. The Jack Abbott example is a good one. Lots of people love TSJ as Todd. The list goes on and on.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
