PERFECT Brenda Recast


Recommended Posts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I know man MANY fans are against the role being recast but a lot of people like myself would fine it very interesting

Anyway,..people are suggesting Gina T from GL and I agree with a lot of VM fans

GT looks nothing like VM and I think it would be a total miscast but I did think about Annie Parisse

SHe played the original Julia on ATWT and got a emmy nod for the role

After she left ATWT,..GH was buzzing her for a while to come to PC because they believed she would look good with maurice benard plus,..she was offered the role of Reese and she turned it down and if you think about it, she favors VM a lot

what do you guys think??

even though you dont want a brenda recast

Could you see AP in the role?

Look-wise, Amy van Horne from The City is perfect recast! She was Carla Solieto on The City (Tracy Quartermaine's step daughter). She maybe isn't as strong actress as Vanessa, but to me neither Vanessa is a new Susan Flannery... so they are pretty close in acting as well...

So if they want to recast, I would say Amy Van Horne.. :)

I've been saying this for months now and ITA...

Amy Van Horne should be the ONLY one TPTB are looking at for a Brenda recast. They have a similar look and she has proven chemistry with powerhouses like Laura Wright, Ted King, and Jane Elliot.

Amy may not have chemistry with a doorknob, but no one can turn it the way she can. But I can understand why they would overlook her. She hasn't acted in daytime in nearly 10 years, she's not a name, and her look may very well have changed since then, although I doubt it. If I rememver correctly, Van Horne was teaching acting in LA. I mean, give her good lighting, makeup, hair, and BAM, it's 1997 all over again.

She should have been snapped up by a soap ASAP. I hear she auditioned for PORT CHARLES too(I bet it was for the Eve part, which I would have preferred she nabbed the role over melodramatic Julie Pinson).

Nope AP just doesn't seem right to me. I like GT even though she doesn't look like Vanessa, she has the acting chops. Laura Wright looks nothing like Sarah Brown. If there HAD to be a Brenda recast, I would rather it be Gina.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
