Members DaytimeFan Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am in the minority but I also liked Krista Allen's take on Billie. To me she was a lot more her mother's daughter when Allen played the role. I also thought she was a more believable threat to Hope and Bo than Lisa Rinna and her overinflated lips ever were. As far as another good recast, I loved Carmen Duncan as Iris Cory on AW. She wasn't Bev McKinsey but she was all sorts of fabulous. Oh and I think Jess Walton takes the cake for being the greatest recast of a character when she stepped into and crushed Brenda Dickson's pumps as Jill.

Members angel Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Danica Stewart as Maxie Jones (GH) and Jessica Bennett (Passions). Just plain bad!!! Glad she was watchable on Coastal Dreams (or maybe its the crack?) Amanda Baker as Babe Carey on AMC. The hug did her in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 Double amen! I loved Reggie & Joni together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 They were so adorable. It sucked when she & Micah were fired. Reggie, Joni & Micah's Jamie worked even though Riding's JR & Laurie didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 19, 2008 Members Share Posted January 19, 2008 AMEN Cynthia Watros is the ONLY Annie Dutton, she defined that role so much, shame on that idiot Paul Rauch for recasting a role that's defined by one actress like that, especially a few months after Watros won the Emmy too!

Members Andrew Posted January 21, 2008 Members Share Posted January 21, 2008 Oltl Laurence Lau as Sam, after Kale Browne Bree Williamson after Erin Torpey?, they where pretty good both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 The mention of Laurence Lau brings up 2 bad recasts Jack Armstrong as Greg Nelson Laurence Lau and Stephen Yates and Russell Todd as Jamie Frame on AW.Richard Bekins was far superior to them all. Also Richard VanVleet as Ed Bauer on GL Camilla Scott as Melissa Anderson on DOOL Blandarama. Shari Shattuck as Ashley on Y&R Some bad recasts from the distant past Pamela King as Lisa ATWT Pheobe Dorin as Penny ATWT Margie Impert as Rachel AW Joanne Dorian as Viki OLTL Louan Gideon as Liza SFT Josh Taylor as Roman.Not only for the fact that he was so identified as Chris,but he also plays the role exactly as he did as Chris.There was/is no dynamic between Roman and Marlena.

Members Khan Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 RE: Josh Taylor - Let's be honest. He makes Drake Hogestyn look like Lane Davies. RE: Laurence Lau (as NuSam) - IMO, Sam Rappaport was hardly essential to OLTL. When Kale Browne left (or was fired, or whatever), he could have taken the role w/ him. Still, I don't fault Lau personally for not clicking on that show. If TPTB had bothered to re-tailor the role to suit his strengths, he could've made an interesting addition to the show. But, oh well. I remember Bekins from his brief stint on ATWT (as Neal Alcott's husband). Man, but was he good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Minority again: I LOVED Laurence as Sam much better than Kale.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 I did too. Partly because I really like Lau (have ever since I saw some of the classic Greg clips on AMC) and for whatever reason never cared for Kale (partly maybe cuz he was a "Friend of Jill's--though I loved the darker Kevin she had hired so..."). Personal preference though and they never did enough with the character when he was cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
