Which recast had a POSITIVE influence on the character?

DAYS

Frank Parker as Grandpa Shawn Brady (he was the original, but he was also replaced a couple of times)

Peggy McCay as Caroline Brady (the first actress couldn't have pulled off the Victor storyline)

Lauren Koslow as Kate Roberts (not necessarily better, but a completely different character)

Renee Jones as Lexie Carver (the others never stood out in the role)

Julie Pinson as Billie Reed (she does a nice job)

Robert Kelker-Kelly as Bo Brady (he was no Peter Reckell, but his version of Bo was watchable until PR came back)

Martha Madison as Belle Black Kiriakis (she can act!)

Mary Beth Evans as Kayla Brady (I saw Catherine Mary Stewart first, but I can't imagine her on the run with Steve)

Lanna Saunders as Marie Horton (enjoyed her version of the Protestant nun who married Neil and got shot by Liz)

Matthew Ashford as Jack Deveraux (the other two guys didn't stand out at all; Matt took the role and did something with it)

Judith Chapman as Anjelica Deveraux (Jane Elliot was superb, but Shelley Taylor Morgan's blink-and-you'll-miss-it performance was flat)

And what about temps?

I thought Anne Howard did an excellent job when filling in for Kimberly Brady, and Marj Dusay was a very believable Vivian Alamain for a few days.

    • The rumor Zimmer writes about sounds like something Paul Rauch would have told Zimmer about Jacqueline Courtney as a way to discredit Courtney as Rauch loved to do that sort of thing. Zimmer probably just retroactively fit it into her story. Zimmer does not have good sense of time in her memoir. Who knows?!!? Zimmer strikes me as someone who always has to be competing with women.  Zimmer and 1986: If I had no context and someone told me that someone in the 1986 scenes would win four Emmys, I would immediately pick Denniston. Granted, I've only watched about a week's worth, but my word, Zimmer just fades into the background even when she's the main player in the storyline. There's no life in her performances. It feels that Zimmer is unhappy and that she's letting it impact her acting. 
    • I'm dreading going into the ninth season; I've got to be mentally ready for it.

       Does not help these seasons are damn near thirty episodes. Twenty-two should've been their cut-off.
    • True. I did enjoy the episodes surrounding Greg's faux death, too. @Liberty City Agreed, it started pretty slow, but once Jill falls off the cliff, I was more invested for some reason. Yes, I genuinely enjoyed the episodes surrounding Greg's fake death. I agree, it began quite slowly, but once Jill fell off the cliff, I became much more invested for some reason. I guess bc more of the cast was working together.  
    • Shouldn't Laura talk to Kevin first before agreeing to her brother Martin moving in with them? Her house is like a hotel for people she never sees -- like Lucky, who she's unaware of his latest departure as a man who runs away from everything. Meanwhile, Lucky is busy giving away his cabin to Isaiah, who we've barely seen him with.
    • With Sean Kanan as Carl Ivati.
    • These episodes have been delightful so far. I enjoyed everyone who stood at the podium today, as it reminded me of all the decades of history.
    • I've actually enjoyed Lucky's return for the most part, but his "farewell tour" scenes this week are just so weird, and they keep pointing out all the opportunities the show has missed to make him more vital to the canvas. Like I think his scenes with Isaiah today--where he gave Isaiah the deed to a cabin Luke built--were the first time we've seen the two of them together all year. Why go to all the trouble to build up this friendship when Isaiah was introduced, when they basically abandoned it as soon as Lucky moved back to Port Charles?
