I find this hard to believe, considering how dreadful Ferguson was as Felicia on GH. So much botox that she couldn't emote at all. Horrible actress.

I have one episode of Y&R from 1984 with Melinda Fee as Temp!Jill. She looked as old as Jill is now, but she was a good actress. More grounded in her bitchiness than Dickson. The storyline was Jack and Jill being blackmailed with photos of them having sex, by Lindsay Wells (Lauren Koslow).

Carole Shelley was the Broadway actress who replaced Beverlee on AW

Lydia Bruce(Maggie The Doctors)filled in for La McKinsee as Alex on GL

Kent Masters King (Lainie GH)and Dawn McMillan both subbed for Victoria Rowell as Dru on Y&R

Terrell Anthony (Rusty GL) replaced Michael E Knight as Tad on AMC when he had chicken pox

On GH, when Susan Diol subbed for NLG's Alexis a couple of times -- Diol had NLG's Alexis' mannerisms, but her voice was distracting. Jay Pickett subbing as Lorezno for Ted King was also kinda odd.

AMC recast Aidan Devane when Aiden Turner had that green card glitch and couldn't appear onscreen and the recast was HORRIBLE! They were already trying to start a fire with a wet match concerning the boring coupling of Aidan and Anita -- but the temp recast took over with his awesomely bad British accent, it just killed any hope for that couple. AT ALL.

Also on AMC, the actor (his name escapes me) who took over the role of Mateo Santos while Mark Consuelos was shooting a movie in Australia was kind of a mix blessing. While I think he needed to take a few more diction classes because he'd mush his words together a lot, he actually made me not utterly hate the Mateo character. It was refreshing not seeing Mateo grabbing women, putting his finger in people's faces, snarling and baring his mega white teeth all the time.

did you see Sandra's amazing run as Amanda Corey on AW? she is far from a horrible actress.

KKL... now there is a horrid actress. I didnt know Cat Hickland filled in for her as well. I must find these episodes somewhere.

I find it funny that Deborah Adair started two amazing roles - Jill on Y&R, and Kate on Days, and is by far the better actress in the roles and since she left borh roles had become over the top and camp.

I would love to see KMK in the role of Dru.

Deborah Adair was the third Jill, she replaced Brenda Dickson and Bond Gideon. Jess Walton came next, toned the role down and gave Jill layers. Nobody can touch Walton in this role, IMO.

BTW, I would also disagree that KKL is horrible. You should see her work during her current storyline, losing her kids and being raped. She's a major contender at the Emmys next year.

After Deb left didnt BD come back for a bit?

JW is great - but DA's Jill was amazing.

I do watch her everyday on BB and have for years - shes bad. i wouldnt doubt an emmy tho... look at who has won them recently. people like NL from GH

Do you have episodes with Deborah Adair as Jill, or have you seen her on youtube, or were you watching when she was on (1980-1983)? I ask because I've never heard anyone rave about her version of Jill. I've read that she was the "pretty Jill" but that's it. I can't see her coming close to Walton or even Dickson. I'd love to see her and Bond Gideon in the role. They're the only two I haven't seen as Jill.

Well respected director and former actor Don Scardino subbed for Larry Lau as "Greg Nelson" on AMC in the mid-80s when Larry had to take time off after his father had passed away. Going way back, Diana Walker subbed for Nancy Barrett as "Carolyn Stoddard" for one day on Dark Shadows when Barrett was too ill to work. Didn't Christine Jones also sub for Jane Eliot on "GH" a few years back?

I have them on tape. I have never seen BG in the role. BD was good, but i didnt love her. and JW is great and a powerul and amazing actress. But DA's Jill came off much more like a real person, not so over the top and annoying. Im not b ashing JW at all - sorry if it comes off that way, i do love her. I just think DA's Jill was better, tho it could also be that the writing with her in the role was better., because JW has had great moments scenes and storylines.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
