Members Ponz Posted August 1, 2008 Members Share Posted August 1, 2008 I preferred Christie Clark but DAYS has had far, far worse recasts that Tracy Middendorf. Steve Wilder as Jack #5 and Charity Rahmer as Belle #2 are the obvious choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 You're so cute! I hadn't thought about that. I hope it's not her because then I can't give her a pass. Can we still be friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 A few months ago, I was reading posts from RATS about the time that Ann Hamilton started as Mindy. It was pretty hysterical. Boy did they not like her. It was a bit like the Andrew Ridings situation on AMC, commenting on physical qualities of the actress. It was inevitable that she would get the boot two months later.

Members rhinohide Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Krista Tesreau (SP?) was the ONLY Mindy Lewis and she was so fabulous. It's so funny to me that so many didn't like her as Tina on OLTL. She was my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 I never understood the extreme hatred for Andrew Ridings on AMC-0-he was no stunning star, but he also didn't seem to be the worse actor on the show at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Christina Chambers would have made for a better Tea than a Marty. Or if they ever brought back that awful Roseanne Delgado creature, I'd welcome CC with open arms as a recast. I couldn't *STAND* the way that girl would say "Crusshhun" (Cristian)...

Members Cheap21 Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Heres another choice. How about Marie-Alise Recasner as Ellen Burgess on Port Charles. She was the show's worst recast and such a letdown after Debbie Morgan's portrayal of the role. Oh he most definetly was. Of all the actors to play JR, he was by far the worse. He was such a downgrade from Jesse McCartney and Jonathan Bennet who came before him. My main problem with AR was that he was so unappealing. He lacked any charm or personality. He was just so "ewwww". It was nauseating watching him onscreen and it didnt help that he was paired with that bland Laurie who didnt help matters. That whole teen set sucked. The only one I cared for was Micah Alberti as Jamie I thought CC was a huge Marty miscast when I first heard the news and in many ways still feel she was miscast even though I loved her Marty. IA about her being Tea. I scratched my head wondering WTH OLTL was doing by giving her the Marty role instead of Tea, which would ahve been better suited for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ummm. This is my theory, and I could be so totally wrong. But I think they registered zero brain activity during those dark years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Me too. I see ALL the problems you see with CKLily. Until recently, this didn't bother me because it fit (for me) with pampered/spoiled/Parisian model's daughter/princess. Now, as her life experiences have gotten worse and worse (Kevin, mother dying, husband cheating, Chloe), I agree that she should have a harder, darker edge. But I STILL think CKLily is better than DSLily because she can EMOTE. She has physical, facial and vocal range. DSLily was pretty much a monotone (I think this was because they intimidated her, constantly telling her to suppress her New York accent). I WOULD like Lily to have more than an edge. If CKLily can do it, I would accept a TALENTED recast...but not DSLily. That said, while the recast can have a darker, cynical core...SHE MUST COME ACROSS as someone with a Parisian upbringing and education. That "European culture" thing MUST shine through...because that is the reality of the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwild Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 It is going to happen Mark, we will see a better Lily Winters pretty soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt P. Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Here's how I feel about Emily Harrison & Christina Chambers. Both had a look that resembled their characters but they weren't given a chance. Especially Harrison. I think that this is a very ugly/dark side of daytime. It's like if you're not good enough or better to play the part like the way the previous actor did, then have fun finding a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daphne Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 I have to disagree about Heather Rattray and Tracy Middendorf. I thought Tracy played Carrie Brady w/ more of an edge. And Heather was a more than capable MB replacement. For ATWT, I most definitely would say Glynnis O'Connor was a miscast as Margo. Blech! For DAYS' worst miscast, most definitely Charity Rahmer She was Hor.rI.Ble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 Actually, I would prefer Heather Rattray over Noelle Beck. Noelle is lovely, and a good actress, but she just isn't Lily. Everything she says sounds so fake, and she has zero chemistry with Holden or Lucinda. Please come back, Martha. Also, a question: I never saw Lesli Kay during her ill-fated run as a recast Lois on GH. What was the verdict on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
