Compared to other soaps, AMC would rarely recast a prominent role, at least not immidiately. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Unless the actor leaves so abruptly you can't write them out, I think if a recast is ever to happen, there has to be a good deal of time between the former and the new. Lish would have never survived if she came in right after SMG. Just my opinion but even 7 years later it took me a long while to accept her as "Kendall".

Now she IS Kendall to me.

Here's a thought: if Bianca returns, w/ or w/o Eden Riegel, what if La Lucci's real-life daughter, Liza Huber, were to accompany her as a post-op Zoe?

(Yes, I'm joking. Do you really think I'd suggest something that lame?)

If they bring Bianca back, then do not make her the new Dr. Phil and spread her words of advice and make it all better by sprinkling her pixie dust....or like the Mary Poppins of Pine Valley ("Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...." I can totally see Bianca flying in on her umbrella sliding down the banister to sing this)

Give her a story

Oh, I get it. We're supposed to pretend Alicia Minshew's the one-and-only Kendall, and Sarah Michelle Gellar just never happened. Right? Is that it?

My head hurts.

Oh, that smarts. I mean, I didn't want the girl around in the first place; but to say SMG wasn't the definitive Kendall....

You might as well gut me with Lee Hawkins' infected tattoo needle.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
