Members Paul Raven Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 The post about Michael Malone reminded me about an interview he did about his plans for the show. He mentioned that Alexander's daughter Zoe would arrive in Bay City. That never came to pass as he left the show before she was brought on. What other characters do you recall being mentioned,either in interviews or onscreen ,that seemed certain to be part of the show .but for varios reasons ,never turned up onscreen? In addition to Zoe,I recall Julie on DOOL talking about her nephew (never before mentioned)Spencer Olsen.There was a change of writers(I think) nd Julie was gone along with any talk of Spencer. Also,Pat Falken Smith talked of Roman's younger brother Marcus Brady,who would become involved with Melissa Anderson.She left the show and Bo became the Brady brother. Can any other posters with good memories add to this list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 Reggie Porter's mother and sisters on AMC come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 This is going way back on AMC but didn't Phoebe Tyler used to mention someone...Juanita or some such person? Was she ever shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 Back in 1999 before she was canned, McTavish had planned on introducing Janet's long-lost daughter. Agnes took over and squashed those plans. Also on AMC, there were plans to introduce Greg Nelson's sisters in the early 80s, Diana and Janet, but they never materialized.

Members Jude Posted April 23, 2008 Members Share Posted April 23, 2008 You're thinking of Juanita Ramsey. She was one of Phoebe's snobby friends and belonged to Phoebe's club "The Daughters of Fine Lineage". I believe she was shown a few times. Those DOFL meetings at Phoebe's house were hilarious! Other members included Enid Nelson and Marion Colby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Frank Dicopolous originally signed on to GL to play a character named Todd Bauer-brother to Lacey and Johnny. By the time he aired he was now Frank Cooper. That new branch of the Bauer family was dropped. Also,there were originally going to be several DiMera siblings.One that was named was Vanessa.I think it was mentioned she would be involved with Mike Horton. When Santa Barbara debuted,I remember seeing a family tree that listed other members of the Andrade family apart from Santana and Danny.I also recall a conversation between the Andrade parents about their other children. One character that stayed offscreen for over twenty years was Paul's brother Todd on Y&R.He was mentioned from time to time but didn't turn up till a few years ago played by Corbin Bernson. I guess Kristina Hughes could be included on ATWT.She is the daughter of Don and Mary and was born in 1986,but never turned up in Oakdale to see her grandmother or other family members.

Members leevo64 Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm pretty sure Sarah's brother CJ was supposed to come on to OLTL in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 IIRC, Malone and Griffith originally planned to introduce some other "Antonio Vega" in 1991 or 1992, and the casting notice was in the mags, but he never was cast at the time. I think he was a cop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I remember in SOD in 1986/87, right around the writer's strike, they announced that Mariann Aalda was joining GL as Dr. Grace Battles, but that never happened. Oddly enough, years later, they had a recurring character named Jeffrey Battles who mentioned his sister, Grace, who worked at the hospital, but she was still never shown.

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I think that around 95/96, after Brian Gaskill began playing teenager Bobby Warner on AMC, there was talk of bringing on his younger brother Michael, whom everyone kept referring to as "Mickey." That never happened. Also at AMC, they introduced a lot of Ceara's sisters at her wedding to Jeremy in 1992. I'm sure there were plans to bring at least one of them on full time, but when Genie was fired, those plans were obviously kiboshed. Wasn't there a rumor last year that Y&R was planning on bringing on Jennifer Foster, Jill's niece (Snapper & Chris's daughter)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 You have a fantastic memory! I remember not being excited at all about Mickey coming on. But I was looking forward to Janet's daughter. That was during the long Dillon drought and I was so excited they would be getting a story. Do you remember what her name was supposed to be? It was Rena or Rita or Rain or something. (Don't know if this really counts but) Richard Culliton planned to have Amanda Dillon come back during his tenure and from the auditions script she was clearly going to be paired with Bianca! Kit Fisher/Christine Montgomery (Paige Rowland) was originally supposed to be Ryan's sister Kat Lavery. Still thinking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Is there even a Reggie anymore? They recast him with a boring whiteguy and then recast the boring whiteguy with a boring Black guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 Long before she came to town Jonathan strongly hinted that Erin was a lesbian. During Bianca's one nightstand with Leslie they talked about a whole group of lesbian&gay friends that we never seen on screen! Has Bianca's sister Molly Montgomery ever appear on screen?

Members Southofnowhere Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 I keep hearing about CJ and everyone seems to think that he's gay , where did that come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 25, 2008 Members Share Posted April 25, 2008 It's so funny. I've been racking my brain for the past couple of days trying to remember the name McT had planned for Janet's daughter (I know...get a life!! LOL). It finally came to me. Her name was supposed to be Risa Jones. Not sure why "Mickey" never materialized. I know the show was in talks with Taylor Miller around this time to bring back Nina on a recurring basis, to accommodate Miller's life (kind of the same deal Kate Collins recently worked out). She did make a few appearances in '96 or '97. It was during the time Brooke was dating Pierce #2 (the one just before Maxwell Caulfield), because I remember Nina counselling Brooke on that relationship. She never appeared again, and the whole Mickey thing was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
