Recast the Role: Kristen Forrester - B&B


Recommended Posts

Based on her 21 year history to date, you sure are right!

The only reason to bring her back is if she has been rendered more interesting during her time away. I think widowhood could do that. But whatever...something should give this character more layers if they want to bring her back.

I'm sorry but, no! Keep her away from my screen please. There's so many great soap actresses out there to choose from, and McKenzie is one of them. imoShe's not. But she could be, and certainly with the right actress.

She's hasn't been a "strong" character. But I wouldn't want to see her turn in to a Felicia clone. Ridge and Thorne are different and there needs to be something that sets Kristin apart from Felicia. And since Felicia is an adult now, she can't be the "rebel" as much, so they've just made her very...strong-willed? or hard-headed almost.

I wouldn't mind a recast Kristen (or even the original actress?) returning to B&B further down the line. Especially if it's a story that 1.) picks up on the AIDs issues it triggered and 2.) reunites Kristen with Clarke!

However, for now, what B&B needs is some men. Prick and Rigid aren't getting any younger! Marcus and Owen are nice starts, but I would love for Deacon and CJ (played by Sean Kanen and Mick Cain, natch) to return to the canvas. All these women fluttering around the Mount Rushmore Twins and Ridge's even craggier dad is just WRONG. Nick has at least three related women making cow eyes at him (four if you count Jackie -- and I do because B&B has never let a little thing like blood ties get in the way of sexual attraction).

Once they've settled the male/female imbalance, given Thorne a romance and established Felicia as Stephanie's true heir, then I wouldn't mind seeing Julie Benz (who played Darla on Buffy and Angel) take the role and run with it.

Obviously she's onto bigger and better things now, what with movies and her role on Dexter, but I can dream, can't I? :lol: Her Daytime equivalent would be Cynthia Preston, with her feline mix of innocence, sexiness and malevolence. She'd take Kristen in new directions.

I LOVE the idea of Cynthia Preston as Kristen, but what need is there for the character? I mean, the only available men in the show are either Forresters (and thus, her relations) or Nick Marone, and the last thing we need right now is another woman going gaga for Nick's magic stick...the man is really the Sonny Corinthos of B&B.

    • I'm just guessing, but Eva has to be Nicole's daughter. I don't see Nicole forgiving Eva for her betrayal. Unless she winds up being her daughter.
    • I did not recall how contentious the interview turned out to be until I re-read it.  In retrospect, good on both of them for allowing it to be published, it is remarkable to read this type of honesty in a soap magazine. http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • Today's show was boring, which means it will score high in the ratings.

    • Correct. And she left Eva alone and vulnerable just like she was 20 plus years ago. 
    • Leslie feels betrayed by Eva for choosing Ted and Nicole, with her actions at the party calling her crazy and trying to stop Leslie from exposing Ted.
    • I kinda think that's the point, Leslie isn't logical; she is very unhinged. She's probably mad at Eva turning on her in front of the Duprees. They need each other but I do want to see Eva form a family unit away from Leslie.
    • IDA. I felt this was his best episode and the actor sold it for me especially bc Martin has been so stoic and not very expressive with his emotions. The actor's weakness actually became a strength here bc I felt he really came alive and I bought his rage towards Leslie and later and later vulnerability he exposed to Smitty. He's growing and while I had reservations at first, I think they should keep him. He's done well with this reveal
    • The soapy convention that amused me today was the amount of stuff that soap characters get done on their way to work. I drink a glass of iced coffee, take a handful of pills, read @AbcNbc247 morning summary, and I am out the door.  Marlena got on a full beat of makeup, and her Monday blazer.  Then she visited with Johnny at the Salem Inn, EJ at the mansion, and checked in with Cat, all before reading her emails.  It is just remarkable how much people can do when they never have to go to the bathroom! Marlena's vibe with Cat was weird, considering she hired Cat as an assistant.  She seemed a little suss today. Meanwhile, with all of these new interactions, I want a scene between Chad and Marlena when they discuss blazers.  I think Chad's more unconstructed, knit jackets would suit Marlena (no pun intended).

      MTV's Floribama Shore Kirk Medias is dead at 33 years old. 
    • Of course, sexy silver fox Dr. Jeffrey Russell has to be in cahoots with EJ so that Kayla's morals don't look selfish and skewed when she is completely in the wrong in letting Steve accidentally on purpose look at the important hospital files. Anyone find it funny that a handful of characters slurred their words today?  I can't quite explain it, but sometimes, like today, I feel like Deidre Hall plays scenes too light or passive, for lack of a better word. She's definitely more known as a charismatic personality than powerhouse actress compared to her soap diva counterparts from other soaps, but I just wish she could give me more. I did, however, like that her scenes with EJ got a 'to be continued...' about Belle. Maybe then I'll see more of what I want from her. Have Shawn and Johnny literally ever had a scene together before today? If they start having Sarah in a scene where she connects with literally any other Horton, then I'll be really impressed.  I'm glad they went through the trouble of explaining why EJ bid on Cat. It made enough sense, and I laughed when Chad spit out his asking about it as soon as humanly possible.
