The only few ones that cant be recast are Susan Flannery, (Stephanie)

Suzanne Rogers, (Maggie), Alison Sweeney (Sami) and Matthew Ashford (Jack), and Judi Evans (Adrienne/Bonnie)

But i must say Theresa Blake as Gloria and Deidre Hall as Marlena i think are two that could absolutely could be recast. Theresa i have forgotten, and Deidre what can one say, they can easily hire another woman in the same age, looking as a blonde doll like, almost have no lines, and smiling the phoniest smiles......................

i dont think that anyone is unrecastable (is that word? lol)

however there are a few who shouldnt be recasted just due to fan love. mostly the vest on all the shows.

I love Alison Sweeney, but she can be replaced. Someone else can play sami, and i could even see a few actress pulling it off. .

OK, I totally disagree with the idea that either Sami or Marlena could ever be recast. Deidre Hall IS Marlena Evans. that's why they have Starring Deidre Hall in the credits. And as for Alison Sweeny as Sami? Alison Sweeney is now the face of days for better or worse so there is no way after 15 years that Sami could be recast.

thankfully I don't think I'll ever have to worry about DOOL trying recast them.

See, I love Ali Sweeney. she is the ONLY reason i have been watching days this long. But just because shes been in the role for 15+ years doesnt mean someone else cant take it on and do just as good as her.

And im sorry, but alot of people could play Marlena. Fans wouldnt buy it because Dee Hall is marlena and all. But its really not some complicated role that only she can do. Shes just knowen for the role.

There are char's on soaps that shouldnt be recasted because someone has been in the role for xx amount of years and they just.. own it yes. Susan Lucci is erica kane. KZ is Reva Shayne. DH is Marlena Evans. However, its not so much due to there amazing acting skills as it is to the fact they have just been doing it for xx years.

Anyways these are the ones I feel are NOT recastable because of the mark the actors have made on the characters:

Adam/Stuart Chandler-David Canary

Jackson Montgomery-Walt Willey

Zach Slater-Thorsten Kaye

Kendall Hart Slater-Alicia Minshew

Myrtle Fargate-Eileen Herlie

Opal Courtland-Jill Larson

Palmer Courtland-James Mitchell

Carly Tenney-Maura West

Jack Snyder-Michael Park

Henry Coleman-Trent Dawson

Margo Hughes-Ellen Dolan

Tom Hughes-Scott Holmes

Nancy Hughes-Helen Wagner

I thought they never should have recast Roger Howarth's Todd. Still think they shouldn't have. They could have kept TsJ as Walker Laurence IMO.

I think Vanessa Marcil's Brenda is unrecastable.

I always felt Sarah Brown's Carly was unrecastable. I think LW is a good actress but the character is so different at this point, IMO, from SB's Carly.

I disagree, Minshew to me has never put any kind of mark on that character like say Sarah Michelle Gellar did. She is completely replaceable. Same goes for Hayley, she hasn't been on in several years and a new talented actress could take over the role easily, the same goes for the character of Gloria Marsh, but I highly doubt AMC will ever bring back those 2 characters. Now Eden Riegel & Bianca I would say are "untouchable."

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
