We all know that Lily is a pivotal part of the ATWT canvas and with MB cofirming that she is indeed out sometime later this spring (late April or early May I think), rumors are that the show is planning to recast the role. If the show does go this route, I began to wonder who would make a good Lily recast and here are my thoughts:

1- Julianne Morris- former Greta Days- To be honest, I think she could pull this role off very well and might just be one of the best recasts to hit daytime in quite sometime. She bears a resemblance to Martha a little bit. Additionally, she can play the dramatic role as we saw when she was on Y&R playing the friend of Nick and Sharon.

2- Kelli Giddish- Di, AMC- I know this is a long shot and probably has alot of readers ROFL but Giddish is very talented and was virtually wasted over at AMC. She can definitely play drama and I am sure she could handle anything the show throws at Lily. Of course she would need to work on her accent and darken her hair, but I wouldn't mind seeing her in the role either.

3- Susan Haskell - Marty, OLTL- Even though I would LOVE to see her back on OLTL, I wonder if it is going to happen. If it does not, then I think Haskell would be another good fit for the role of Lily on ATWT.

4- Julie Pinson- Okay, Julie may not be the best choice for Lily ( I could see her more as ATWT's Molly) but Julie does have the spunk that the character of Lily once had.

I soooooo need a banner with these 4 pictures in them...unfortunately I do not know how to make one :(. Okay I given my thoughts, I would LOVE to hear y'all's....... and please don't slaughter me for posting this topic as I am a HUGE fan of MB's. Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!!!!

how about lauralee bell? just kidding.

honestly, no one. it would be like recasting a main diva. it would be too much to recast amc's erica, atwt's carly, b&b's stephanie and brooke, days' marlena and hope, gl's reva, oltl's viki and dorian, y&r's nikki.

gh might have pulled it off with carly, but lily has been around since forever. it just wouldn't work.

I wouldn't recast either, at least for six months. I'm not a big Martha fan, so I think any "fresh" perspective on the role would be the only way to keep the character relevant. :D

I'd hate Chappell in the role, however.

What ever happened to Heather Rattray? I remember she was Lily there for awhile, but I forgot what she looks like or what she's even doing.

I think this role will be recast easily. MB was nothing special, except for the fact that she's been in the role for 20 years. The character has been bland for years. I think some fresh blood can only do the show some good.

Carrie Genzel, Crystal Chappell & Julie Pinson are good choices but Pinson seems too pretty for the part.

How about Laura Koffman?

No one should take the role. What's been done here is a travesty.

That said if I absolutely had to recast I would choose either Laura Koffman, who is a great idea Deee and my first choice if they can do her hair lighter, Susan Haskell, or Robin Christopher (if she can handle playing an "earth mother" and not do her usual "smoldering gaze, slinky cat" crap that she's fallen into a rut with). I think Crystal Chappell is too cosmopolitan, though RC has that problem too. I think all the other people suggested are too young, and SH as well skates that line to me. She looks too young anyway.

      -- I love a good build, and the show has made me look forward to Winterfest. But some things seem so forced.  -- For example, the Vernon/Sharon meetups. GMAB. It's so obvious what this is and they're playing it too hard for too long.  I think one purpose is to make Leslie look like a fool, but it's hard to take. Is the tour over for Sharon? Does she sit in the hotel room all day long waiting for Vernon? Is he paying her bills? It's dumb.  -- Leslie is an awful human. I don't think she gives a rat's ass about Peaches. She cares more about Eva's sex life.  -- Izaiah and Eva have nice chemistry, but their conversation seemed forced to me. Didn't sound like first date dialogue and was too on the nose.  -- Shanice was great in taking down Leslie. I'm so glad the writing didn't have Leslie land the biggest smackdown. Dr. Wilkes was also great.  -- Again, Leslie is spending like she's worth a bajillion dollars. This has to be written for laughs.  -- I've done a complete turnaround on June. I now think she's a great addition.  -- Martin and Smitty are so concerned that Tyrell learn about Banneker that they call in a guy who started work there this week?

        -- Tyrell is so much more mature than Samantha. I hate the way she treats him and talks about him in front of others.  She really sat there and asked Jessica why she's even with Tyrell. Samantha is pathetic.    Screenshot time: -- If I can get Fish & Fries at Orphey Gene's for $5, why is a glass of juice $4 ? -- That Mr & Mr sign at Martin and Smitty's is beyond lame and tacky.

      So do I. Jack actually treats her like an equal partner. And he’s done far less evil things Nikki has just to ignore including to his own kids than Victor any day.

      This 11/17 episode was extremely lazy and boring. That Adam and Chelsea opening scene was so cringe and out of character for both.  Billy Flynn is being wasted and I was only interested in Claire and Holden.    Every character feels the same with no actual personality.

      Ugh...right? At least if Chris Bernau had been able to continue in the role, it would've been intriguing to watch Alan manipulate Reva.

      Yes, it was. Dinah had started to soften after Henry's heart attack in March. After Paige Turco took over the role, the attitude is turned way, way down. The thing about Vanessa was, she could be very territorial. If Dinah had gone to Lillian (who had befriended Dinah before she knew Vanessa was her mother), that would've stung a bit, but Van probably would've understood. But Dinah getting advice from Ross' new girlfriend would not have sat well with her, the same way Van later bristles anytime Nadine tries to stake some kind of role in Bill's life. @DeeVee  I know it's been brought up before, but I hadn't really connected Long breaking up Ross/Van to the fact that she'd neither created that backstory or been responsible for giving them a love child.  I wonder what she would've done had she been there when Jordan left, and had to break Billy/Van up.

      Well, she just said "ladies" on the show but she didn't specify they were fellow actresses. It could have been some of the women behind the scenes of the show. There was a lot in the interview that wasn't clear to me.

      Now would’ve been a great time to get the next A plot going, versus Bill and Katie and Steffy and Liam rehashing the same BS about Luna we have been hearing for weeks.

      I feel it could benefit from a focus on one of their three A stories or a solid B plot. But right before the turnover from Guza to Thomson, outside of all things Dani...there's nothing too A story-ish going on. Still entertaining for me, but it's noticeable that there is not a main story with other B/C stories going on. It's just...a bunch of stories going on.    I do hope the build to Winterfest and us actually seeing it THIS month will get things moving again.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
