I think B&B should bring back Brooke's mom. Now, EVERYONE else has been re-cast so she probably should too.. who should play her?

Dare to dream here, I'd like to see Sally Field or Linda Evans!

Julia Barr?

Ive wondered why Beth hasnt been back yet since her whole family has. I wanted to see her reaction to Donna and Eric. She also should have been here for the Brooke rape plot with Stephanie

Julia Barr would be a good choice

ALL MY BETH LOGANS:

Donna Mills

Linda Dano

Julia Barr

Victoria Principal

Anna Stuart

Marla Adams

Jamie Lyn Bauer

Jaclyn Smith

Victoria Wyndham

What do you think?

dream? Kim Zimmer walks from GL right over to B&B!!

Noooooo! Not Kim Zimmer!

1. Too big a personality for little B&B.

2. She is going to be pissed when her character gets sidelined from 24/7 exposure in favor of the R/B/N/T Quadrangle of DOOM.

3. Kim Zimmer as Katherine Kelly Lang's mom? BWAH!

Julia Barr and Donna Mills are inspired choices. I was going to go for Judith McConnell (ex-Sophia, Santa Barbara) as I could see her as KKL, JG, HT and WdV's mom.

P.S.: Linda Evans appeared on B&B about 4 or 5 years ago playing a completely different character.

i agree with everything you aid,.

i did say 'dream'!!

I would prefer Beth to be cast age appropriately. They have to strike a chord between being a contemporary of Stephanie's while realistically being married to Patrick Duffy.

Much as I love Donna Mills, I don't want to see the role thrown at someone for the sake of glamour. I'd love to see a fierce, middle class character. Someone who's clearly struggled in her life and has some world weariness.

Julia Barr just seems far too young. Bearing in mind Eric, Stephanie and Mass are in their late 60s and went to college together it wouldn't ring true.

Susan Sullivan would be good but she wouldn't do it. Judith McConnell could be awesome and she'd have cracking chemistry with Susan Flannery. Leigh Taylor Young could be the right age but she's had too much plastic surgery and lacks personality.

Judith McConnell would make a great Beth Logan. Vicky Wyndham or Linda Dano could also share some great scenes with Eric, Stephanie, Stephen and the Logan girls.

Beth has to be part of the B&B canvas full-time, even as a recurring character. But please, don't turn her into a diva. A fashion designer or something like that. I still have a hard time watching captain Nick own a fashion house...

BTW it was Linda GRAY who appeared on B&B as few years ago, not Linda Evans.

BWAH! Yes, of course. Brain fart on my part.

*goes to pour strong cup of coffee*

You're all focused on casting Beth...cool recommendations.

I'm more focused on the chilling emotional portrait that is becoming clear. It's so funny this thread started here, because I was thinking along similar lines on Usenet (4/26/08)

--Emerging out of all of this is a chilling (Y&R Gloria-style) portrait of Beth Logan. It doesn't square with what we saw of her on screen (except that she wrongly carried a torch for Eric all those years).

But clearly, she abdicated her parenting responsibilities to her young son...and damaged each and every one of her kids through this neglect.

Which means...when Beth finally shows up again, she could be the most compelling character since Y&R's Dina Mergeron or Gloria Abbott.

I should add that her enduring absence during this crisis will further deepen the sense that Beth is a VERY BAD woman. At least...I hope that is how she gets written.

Eh. Delete.

Beth Logan should really be present right now for all this Logan family drama.

Yes, I think Beth coming back would make sense, especially with all the drama--plus, they have to take advantage of the fact that Donna's with Eric now.

Judith McConnell would be inspired casting. Blonde, beautiful and can ACT her ass off, she'd be excellent.

Julia Barr, Linda Dano and Anna Stuart are also wonderful choices...again, they have talent.

And in defense of Donna Mills, she's a good actress who isn't afraid to 'dress down' for a role. I think she could easily pull off Beth Logan, ex-caterer to the stars. She IS 68 by the way so she's the perfect age.
