SOD Feature: Nine Recasts who Proved to be Miscasts!

I prefered Christine Chambers over Susan "Sucks Teeth" Haskell...all that woman does is do her wide eyed sucks on teeth routine during every scene...she bores me to tears. I guess Thorsten Kaye & Susan Haskell found romance by bonding on both of their shortcomings as actors...............

And Jennifer Bransford rocked that ish, she was perfect playing crazy Carly and is highly underrated. I still get bewildered over the LW love, her version on Carly has destroyed the character beyond return, she should be on this list instead.

Worth noting that Rattray came in the latter half of the Marland era. Probably one of the few mishaps that really happened on the show at the time.

Shari Shattuck... she was AWFUL. The character of Ashley was really ruined when she played it, it was disgusting and repulsive to watch.

Emily Harrison and Charity Rahmer gave you the impression even before their first scenes that they weren't going to last long.

There is NO better Lily Winters than Christel Khalil. She has played the role since 2002 (save for the year she was off the show) and she rocks every scene/storyline she has. She was great in the STD storyline, she was great in the paternity storyline, she was great in the Daniel/Lily fugitive storyline and she has been great in the Lane storyline. She has had two Emmy nominations. She IS Lily Winters.

Y&R will never let Christel go - especially when Lane is so popular. And especially after the backlash they got when they fired Adrianne Leon at the height of Cadrian's popularity.

Christina Chambers is a decent actress, but she just didn't seem to fit in the role of Marty from the clips I've seen, so I agree with that one.

Mark Cameron Wystrach was good as Fox, I thought his portrayal of the role was very entertaining.

I loved Krista as Mindy Lewis too. But on OLTL, she just wasn't Tina. I think the problem with KT as Tina is that she had 2 VERY GOOD predecessors in Andrea Evans and Karen Witter. KT just didn't measure up. Plus Tina's dingbat ratings went thru the roof when KT was cast and Tina just got annoying.

Quick question <hides from Toups cuz it's off topic> Tina and Todd are full brother and sister, right? Both are the progeny of Victor Lord and Irene Manning if I am not mistaken.

I liked Krista's Tina more for her chemistry with TW and RH. She was a ditz but those interactions were fun for me.

    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.

    • I've always said that JFP's main problem is that she comes up with some shocking event and she plans around the event but she never thinks much about the emotional fallout for the characters or the fans. That's why so many of her stories don't work and damage her shows. I like your idea about Lando playing the person involved in hitting Maureen. It would have given Peter Simon something to do which is the feeble excuse they gave for killing Maureen off in the first place. Instead, they gave us the dreck they did.  And they were so obsessed with recreating the blackout week that they kept putting characters in fires and blizzards. None of which I saw, but going through the Logan columns I noticed: every few weeks, someone at GL would give an interview to Logan saying GL was going to get better because they had a great new storyline (A fire! A blizzard! A fire!) . Insanity.  
    • @Contessa Donatella, Make sure to cite your sources when making claims such as "apparently she just inked a new deal." This information has not been reported anywhere and is therefore not known to the public, unless disclosed by the actor in question themselves. Once again, stop stating information as fact without providing a legitimate source. What you read or hear somewhere, from either message boards or on social media, does not make it true. This includes information from your "sources."

      Sorry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNct2sgXU  
    • I don't believe it either, @kalbir.  Ironically, I think KL's first producer, Joseph B. Wallenstein, ended up producing "Hotel" as well.
    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
    • For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
