DAYS: Who would make a good Bill Horton?


Recommended Posts

Who would be a good Bill, if they chose to recast the role? He'd have to make a believable father for Jennifer, Mike, and Lucas, and should have potential romantic chemistry with Kate and Laura, too, if they brought her back (it's been suggested that Laura and Bill are back together romantically, since she's with him at his African clinic).

I'll throw out a name: Gordon Thomson!

Nicolas Coster for Bill

Judith McConnell for Laura

as much as I love Jaime Lyn Bauer - she was not right for Laura and wayyyyyyyyyyyy too young

Nicolas & Judith would bring the characters to near the age group they should be. And provide nice chemistry in the roles too.

I thought abut making Kale Brown Bill Horton in my blog, but then I just decided to keep him as Dr. Berman. I gave him a first name and I have story planned for him in the future.

As for Bill, a lot of people threw around Stuart Damon's name after he was fired from GH. I can't see any chemistry between Damon and Koslow and/or Bauer, but we haven't seen them in scenes together, so who knows.

Kale could be alright as Bill, though he's young.

Please no Jaime Lynn Bauer as Laura. Laura should be an august, statuesque type. Rosemary Forsythe is not far off from Judith McConnell's age, IMDB says she did an episode of Without A Trace in 2005 so she might well still be acting.

Of course I guess if you wanted a Bill/Laura/Kate triangle you might want a Jaime Lynn Bauer type anyway as she matches up better with the Koz's Kate, who looks darn good for her supposed age.

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
