Believe me. I think JB is one of tvs finest actresses BUT Every time I watch AMC I can't help feel that Brooke is missing I mean REALLY missing. I can't believe she wouldn't be there for Tad and Adam and HELLO Jamie was in the hospital and she was MIA. She would certainly have been at the Christening today. I know TIIC would never ask ot if JB would ever come back anyway but what if there was a REALLY good recast. Does anyone think it would work.

Possibilities:

Lisa Brown

any one else?

IMO, Brooke became so unimportant and wasted in recent years, that it would be pointless to recast her. Recast her for what? If they couldnt or better yet wouldnt do anything when Julia Barr was here, why recast the role?

There's only one Brooke and that's J/B. I just hate the way TIIC treated her, it was so cold the way they just let her go! The fans really got cheated, and it wasn't fair to her or her fans. After 30 yrs, she was treated worse then a new actor that was let go. I don't like to think about it, it makes me sick.

Julia put her own personal stamp on the Brooke character the day they killed Brooke's daughter, Laura Cuddahy. There are few times on soaps when characters and actors have a defining moment where the two become synonymous. That was one of them. I will never be able to look at another actress and believe her "Brooke" is the one who felt what Julia's Brooke felt in that kick ass performance 20 years ago. Julia poured herself into that story.

Yeah, you're right. I think my frustration comes from the fact that I really REALLY Miss Brooke. I mean, I cried when Dixie died and CM was let go but there's something about Brooke not being in key scenes that seems so wrong. Kind of like the heart of AMC has been broken. Just thought Lisa Brown out of sheer desperation.

      I didn't wanna "ruin" it for you if Raven hadn't left on her midnight trip to London yet.  But based on where she's going -- and who she'll be staying with -- you can assume there will be some drama when she returns! I believe she even says to Logan or Eliot Dorn before she leaves, "My stepfather, Ansel Scott, always had a 'thing' for me!" lol.

      Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.

      I guess my hunch may be right about her. I'm still very split about it. My husband thinks she is a joke, doesn't like her acting and thinks she is over the top. At the beginning I liked her a lot... And I definitely don't agree with my husband about her acting... But still something just puts me off when Felicia is on screen. It's like they are pushing her to be this grand dame too much. It doesn't come off natural, but very staged and superficial. Wearing a head piece and a gown doesn't make you suddenly be that. In most cases it makes people look foolish... when they are still wearing a huge hat while sitting in someone's ugly kitchen talking about stuff. To me... the actress and character shine the most when she seems down to earth and talking through something troubling. When the fluff and glitz is less and the REAL is more. When they act like she is Joan Crawford that's when I start wondering what is going on. She isn't. And some of the wardrobe choices for her have been horrific.  Of course all of these impressions are personal ones and I don't claim to know what the character will become in the future or what it was when she started.  I'm only saying my natural response to her now.   Then I'll blame him too! Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to respond so late but that's the first time I'm reading these comments.   More like criticism to the show and the way they are portraying her. I still like the actress a lot.

      Mid 1979 to mid 1981 was A+ quality for the show.   I even found things to like about the show in the final year or so when the quality had somewhat declined.

      From what I heard, the actress playing Leslie opted to leave so instead of recasting again.. they killed her off.   Holly brought it on herself by lying and pretending Christina was Ed's child.  Although I do think that Rita's actions with withholding that message from Ed weighed upon her.   Even though she won Ed in 1976, she realized over time that she never truly had him. There was no Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.  Tim and Evie dated after Rita broke up with him (which happened before Evie and her mother came to Springfield).  Ironically Tim did to Evie what Rita previously did to him... leading someone on that you're not interested in.

      The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.
