Oh no. Mark Cameron Wystrach made an awesome Fox. He was in no way comparable to Justin but he had his own rhythm as Fox. Not to mention the INSANE chemistry between him and Adrian Bellani. They were hot.

I wish I had seen this Charity Rahmer girl. How could someone be so bad in such a short period of time? As for ATWT, Soapsuds is right. Heather Rattray was very different than Martha Byrne (and not as talented), but she acquitted herself OK. Susan Batten is the poster child for all miscasts.

Jenny did a great job as Carly. It's just some of the TB lovers never gave her a chance, I think the problem with Tracy Middendorf was that people were just so used to Cristie, cause she was excellent as Steve's crazy girlfriend on 90210. And Emily Harrison was just miscast as Bridget, and it was Brad's mistake for recasting right after Jennifer Finnagen left without giving the audience time to adjust.

It was bad. I remember watching with a friend of mine when she first came one and we both went WTF. I think she was only on for a month before Martha Madison showed up. I'm sure if you did a few You Tube searches you might find some old Shelle videos that have her in it. Most of her scenes were with Philip and Jan since it was the time when Shawn was locked in the "love cage". I know there was a clip somewhere where she is practically flirting with John Black...HER FATHER.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
