Members winterguy125 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks to OceanView from the Nick and Phyllis board http://z14.invisionfree.com/Nick_and_Phyll...3620&st=120 Marnie Schulenberg (Alison Stewart - crossover w/ ATWT? Cool!) - The daytime newcomer, who is a recast for ATWT's Alison, joins Y&R on Feb. 22, but will eventually move to ATWT in a more permanent role. She is a friend of Amber. Alison, then played by Jessica Dunphy, left Oakdale to be w/ boyfriend Aaron in Seattle in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 This is a nice turn of events. I hope the newcomer is half as good as Jessica Dunphy though. Once again ATWT can't catch a break on getting old performers to return. I am beginning to believe that it is true that the budget is the cause of this. I had read a few years that Goutman said it was cheaper to recast even if the performer might be a vet - something about getting more money for time on the same show than just time in the industry. I guess the old performer has more pull in the contract negotiations or something. But it would sure be nice to get a familiar face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Wait, what? So she's joining Y&R as Alison and then moving to ATWT as Alison? WTF for? Why does Y&R need her if she's not gonna stay around? To familiarize her to Y&R's audience? This is so effin' stupid. And she's a friend of AMBER'S? Oh, that'll really endear her to us.

Members Matt P. Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 If it's not Jessica Dunphy, it's just not Alison. I agree that it's sort of wierd to bring her on one soap to be followed to another one. She should wear a shirt saying "Watch Me After B&B" when she's filming. Way too wierd and sort of uncreative. Other teens in Oakdale need friends & enemies. Look at the :::ahem::: teen scene now. JD would give Spencer Grammar a run for her money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I don't get it, but if Will and Gwen are done, I approve. And I so hope Alison not written as flighty as she was when Dunphy was around. She was a miniature Katie, which usually annoyed the heck out of me. The girl's a messed up Stewart, idiots. Write her as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Why in the hell is Alison coming to Y&R? Okay, I get that she and Amber are "friends," but what is with The Hack bringing on non-Y&R characters from the past. We don't care! I know I don't. Thank God she's eventually going to ATWT permanently. When I first read this, I thought The Hack was bringing on another CBS character to Y&R and I was going to flip. I loved Jessica Dunphy. Hopefully, she'll be just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I love, love, love, love LOVED Jessica Dunphy!!!! TMFIIC better not F-UCK THIS UP!!!!!!! And ew at her joining Y&R.

Members Tishy Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I hope this works. I loved Alison played by JD. But as a friend of Amber's? Is it me or does Amber have like ten years on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 WTF? This is so random. I too don't understand what the point of her appearing on Y&R first is, if she's not even staying. Whatever, hopefully this new actress will live up to JD, and the character of Alison won't be destroyed by JP the same way Adam has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Actor87 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Okay...just to clarify...the ACTRESS is going to be portraying a friend of Amber's. She won't be portraying Alison. After her brief appearance on Y&R, then she's coming to ATWT as Alison. What probably happened was...she probably booked the Y&R spot...then, a few weeks later, landed the role of Alison. I also agree. J. Dunphy is, has, and will be the ONLY Alison for me. Can't believe they're not bringing Aaron back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DruRocks Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 What the hell? Keep these loser characters away from Y&R. Amber? Now Alison? Go the hell away! ETA: I get it now. But why are we casting actors for AMBER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
