ALL: Temp Recasts

[CassieFan]

WORST RECAST EVER - Mark Wystrach (Fox #2) - Passions.

I don't remember there being any good reason for firing ART. She was sassy. Anyone remember the long-haired blond dude she had an affair with around that time? I was like, 11 then but I remember hE really boiled my potato.

It doesn't seem most people are getting the point of this thread is for TEMP Recasts, actors who come in for another actor who is sick or maternity leave. A lot of ppl are putting down people who were actually just BAD recasts.

I didnt know PSSNS had a temp Tabitha or Jessica.

I thought Gina Marie was a good temp Kay and wish she had stayed ratehr than Deanna

Ken Kenitzer wasn't a temp Kevin recast. He was cast to play Kevin full time, it's just that TPTB realized quickly after he was hired that they made a mistake and they got rid of him fast.

[dm.]

Of course I know. I know every part of the show. I'd the editor of the show at TV.com.

For those who still can watch PASSIONS did they notice that Fancy was temp recast with the actress who played AMY on SUNSET BEACH. I thought that actress had disappeared

How did she do

and even though shes not temp the new actress playing Marianna on GH should not have been hired. They should have kept the original.

anyone else with any best/worst temporary recasts?

[MoTheGreat]

I know only one terrible tempt Charity Rahmer on Days.

Now the best tempt Priscilla Garita on Passions.

lane davies temporarily played ridge on b&b. i thought that was an interesting choice. physically he is nothing like ronn moss, but he didn't do anything new to the character.

Terrell Anthony replaced Michael E Knight as Tad in 1990 when MEK had some health problem to deal with. A total miscast. I think Anthony was dating Cady McClain at the time. Also bad was the actor whose name escapes me (he played Jim LeMay on GL) as a temp Dimitri recast after Nader was fired.

[John]

Anthony Adabbo (sp?)is his name. He was on GL as Jim and B&B too dont rember the charcter

I remmeber him as Dimitri totally miscast but I think AMC planned top write both Alex and Dimitri out and knew AA would be short-term

[Ann_SS]

Best temp recast was definitely Robert Montano as Antonio on OLTL. Montano was outstanding. He is a very good actor. It is too bad that he hasn't gotten another role on OLTL or another soap.

[LoyaltoAMC]

Yeah, after Nader was fired, they decided to wrap up the character with the recast, who looked young enough to be Nader's son.

I liked Nicole Tarantini (?sp) who played Mac for a while when AshBash was sick on Y&R in 2001. they should have brought her back instead of later recasting the role with kelly kruger. lol
