You guys are definitively not the only people with that opinion. I'm sure MB is a nice woman and all that, and yes she's been with the show for a looong time. But I don't find her acting spectacular or anything like that.

It's horrible the way TPTB treated her(!! <_< ), and we already know 90% on this board believes that this role can not be recasted. But since this thread is about who people could see in the role as Lily let's just stick to that.

I would love for Julianne Morris to come back to daytime, and I think she could pull if of as Lily.

Julie Pinson would rock as any character(!), and it would be nice for her to move to NY since Billy works there.

Don't really have anyone else in mind, will have to think about that. Whoever they choose I hope it's a good recast.

Everyone has given some great responses and even though someone said before recasting Lily, would be like recasting Erica Kane....the role of Lily has been recast before. Twice actually. MB was a recast Lily. Lucy Deakins was the original Lily, followed by Heather Rattaray and then MB. I think it could work with the right actress.

The fact that she's been in the role for 20 years tell you this role can't be recasted easily. How would fresh blood do the role good if the crap writing is still there for the character? :huh::mellow:

I doubt they will ask her. I am not sure if Heather would be interested in returning. There are a lot of good suggestions. But ATWT wants someone BIG in the role.

Tricia Cast would make a fine Lily recast. If Y&R is too stupid to ask her to come back as Nina, ATWT should give her a call. Cast, though she lives in Nashville has always been open to coming back to tape Y&R in LA, but NYC would be a faster commute for her from Nashville.

Any recast of Lily is most likely going to flop, personally I wouldn't wish that on any actor. Like her or not Martha was a big part of this show, and can't be easily replaced and shouldn't be either IMO

I agree, but if they recast which looks to be the case, they need to find someone at least somewhat talented.

I really don't see this recast lasting too long. They're most likely doing it to spite Martha...

      -- 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!!!
