DAYS: Recast Sami!

[KLN]

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Alison Sweeney is the best possibility for a future star of this show. However, NBC seems to love her on their primetime shows. She's been on Fear Factor, The Weakest Link, American Dreams, Las Vegas, the list goes on and on... and now she's been hired as full-time host of "The Biggest Loser."

If her schedule ever becomes so busy to where she couldn't fulfill her duties at Days any longer, and the show was forced to recast the role, who would you choose as a suitable alternative? If the character MUST be recast, and saying "nobody" is not an option, who do you think would work best as a suitable recast?

Me personally, I have to go with Alicia Silverstone. She and Alison Sweeney have always reminded me of one another. In fact, Alicia Silverstone played a character in a movie called "The Crush" several years ago whose character was basically an exact replica of Sami Brady. If she could play that role so masterfully, I know she could do Sami justice!

Here's a clip of her from an interview last week on 'The View.'

A few photos...

And in her teenage days...

Right away I thought Jessica Dunphy, but she wouldn't look right having Will. Bree Williamson would be a good choice IMO too.

A perfect recast for Sami?

Nobody.

No...seriously though, I can't think of anyone that could play the part of Sami quite as perfectly as Ali.

I know that nobody isn't an answer but it's the truth. She is way too popular now to ever think of recasting her. I honestly think if she left they should kill her off. They could get great story out of it and maybe she could come back one day. They could do it like they did Hope and leave it open.

I don't see Ali going anywhere though. She even said that her new job would not interfere at all and that she loves Days too much to leave it.

I honestly can't think of anyone to play the role. It would have to be someone who looks like the girl next door but can also have a mean streak/vindictive side. If Days did ever recast, I would hate to be that casting director. Wow...

First off, no one can ever replace Ali. However, if she were to leave, I'd love for them to snag Gina Tognoni from GL. Gina's only 3 years older than Ali, they could age Sami a bit and have Gina go blonde again. She's perfect as the girl next door with an edge.

Who would fit best in the role as Samantha Brady? Well that totally depends on what kind of character we want Sami to be. Do we want Sami to be like she is now or like she was before? Should she be good or evil, mature or immature? Anyway, I hope they never recast Ali Sweeney.

Not Alicia! I no longer have any respect or desire to see her act in anything!

[KLN]

Why? If it's because of her "dissing" Elisabeth Hasselbeck on 'The View,' watch the clip. She's kind and courteous and answers every one of her questions! I think it's totally overblown.

[Toups]

Amy Grabow (she played Rachel on GH).

[KLN]

EWWWWWWWWWWWW! LoL

Her smile annoys me. I prefer her when she doesn't show her giant teeth. She reminds me of a poor man's Morgan Fairchild.

[Toups]

Kristi McDaniel (she played Sarah from Aremid). She's not acting anymore though.

[Toups]

Or Britney!!!

[KLN]

Toups, thank GOD you aren't the casting director, LoL!

It takes more to casting a role than just matching the hair color. I can only imagine Britney trying to speak Sami's words through chewing gum and a southern accent.

"I'm gon' do anything to protect my lil boy Will, y'all! For reals!"

[R!ck]

For shits and giggles

How about Kate Hudson

or

Mira Sorvino

Or maybe Janelle!

Naaaaa Ali isn't replaceable

[JER Soaps Fan]

The girl who treated Bitsy on "the View" like an ugly, stray, diseased dog? I think not!

Alicia has some REPENTIN' to do for that [!@#$%^&*].
