More musings while the thread is dead...
GL Pay or Play contracts. After Edge ends, move over Ann Flood to GL as Trudy in 1985 to compensate for the loss of Charita Bauer.
My dream re-casting for Mindy in the late 90s would be Karen Witter. Been watching her as Tina on OLTL and I think she's just terrific- can play sexy works well in comic subplots as well as more serious soap fare. She took over from fan favorite Andrea Evans and held her own, physically stunning and can act- the perfect combination.
I still would bring over Marcia McCabe as either Hope Bauer or Trish Lewis in 1987, after SFT ended. If Ann Flood doesn't work as Trudy, bring in Mary Stuart in early as Meta.
Just thinking about the fake Bauers. Maybe if they cast Mary Stuart as Johnny and Lanie's grandmother it would be easier to accept the Bauer expansion pack-- given the goodwill MS had with longtime soap viewers (or soap geeks) as Jo on SFT.
Barbara Crampton (as Mindy) seemed out-of-place on a NYC soap, she should've stayed with Bell. She'd probably fit okay on Santa Barbara as a new character.
