Members ian Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 The role of ________ will now be played by! List some of the soaps best and worst recasts. (This may have been done before...) No particular order BEST Lesli Kay as Felicia Forrester, B&B Robin Strasser as Dorian Lord, OLTL (I never saw other Dorians but you can assume right?) Billy Miller as Billy Abbott (Y&R) Peter Bergman as Jack Abbot (never saw Terry Lester but - I'm thinking of how the actor has been able to embody the role and become known for it) Jess Walton as Jill Foster Abbott (same reasoning as above) Jeff Branson as Shane, GL (havent seen the others but this one really looks like he could be J&R's son) Judith Chapman as Gloria Fisher Abbott, Y&R (Sorry JVA but you can pick up your face and go home. Judith Chapman owns the role, even if she should walk around with her hand cupped in front of her face in case her eyeballs fall out) Billy Magnussen as Casey Hughes, ATWT Hunt Block as Craig Montgomery, ATWT Trevor St. John as Todd Manning, OLTL (ducking veggies) Kassie DePaiva as Blair Cramer, OLTL WORST Noelle Beck as Lily Snider ATWT Almost any of ATWT's recent mishaps Charity Rahmer as Belle Black (This one owns it I'm sure) Christina Chambers as Molly Conlan McKinnon, ATWT Christina Chambers as Marty Saybrook, OLTL Amelia Heinle as Victoria Newman, Y&R Tammin Sursok as Colleen Carlton, Y&R Jon Lindstrom as Craig Montgomery Jennifer Bransford as Carly Corinthos, GH there are scores more!

Members quartermainefan Posted January 21, 2009 Members Share Posted January 21, 2009 Best recasts I think one of the most successful one in recent years is probably Austin Peck replacing Patrick Muldoon. The recast went on to sort of personify soap hunkdom. Jill Larson as Opal on AMC was good, but she is no Dorothy Lyman. Cady McCain as a brilliant recast as Dixie Cooney. Jay Kenneth Johnson gets the award for best re-recast in reclaiming his Philip role on DOOL. There are so many...the guy who played Nik on GH while Tyler Christopher took a few years off was good. John Ingle is great as Edward Quartermaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bandbfan Posted January 21, 2009 Members Share Posted January 21, 2009 B&B Good Heather Tom as Katie (Not great so far, but it's not her fault) Lesli Kay as Fefe (Colleen Dion was great originally, but Lesli Kay fits Felicia now) Winsor Harmon as Thorne Jacq M-W as Steffy (Spot on for looks and one of the best younger cast members in a long while) Kyle Lowder as Rick (Not a huge fan of him, but he's better than Torkildsen, IMO) Bad Emily Harrison as Bridget (I don't think she would've been that bad had she not followed JenFin so quickly) I guess we haven't had that many recasts, especially compared to other shows.

The Greatest Recast Ever) Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott, Y&R ("Have a seat, on me!") Billy Miller as Billy Abbott, Y&R Lauren Koslow as Kate Roberts, DAYS (while I too love Deborah Adair I think Koslow reinvented the role and gave Kate staying power, passion and bite) Martha Madison as Belle Black, DAYS (she's a great young actress, DAYS really blew it on that one!) Lesli Kay as Felicia Forrester, B&B Winsor Harmon as Thorne Forrester, B&B (plays rage better than anyone) Austin Peck as Brad Snyder, ATWT (who knew he could act!? He's got an 'aww shucks' style that is perfect in that role) Joan Collins as Alexandra Spaulding, GL ("I'm Alexandra Spaulding and I couldn't care less!" She can read the phone bookd and I love her) Constance Towers as Helena Cassadine, GH (Ice Cold Blonde, perfect) Anne Heche as Vicki and Marley Love, AW ("So is that why you jumped into that sack with your son in law *slap*) Carmen Duncan as Iris Cory, AW (not everyone's taste...but I LOVED her, much sexier and more humorous than Beverlee McKinsey's Iris, she played her light and I loved it) Jill Larson as Opal Courtland, AMC Dan Gauthier as Kevin Buchanan, OLTL (ABC really blew it with him) WORST Amelia Heinle as Victoria Newman, Y&R (dull but I bet she might just improve, she's got a cute baby though) Tammin Sursock as Colleen Carlton, Y&R (can't get her accent right, doesn't look like she cares to be there...just...no) Susan Walters as Diane Jenkins, Y&R (Alex Donnelly IS Diane Jenkins) Rachel Kimsey as Mackenzie Browning, Y&R (smarmy, sugar coated crap) Mackenzie Mauzy as Phoebe Forrester, B&B (can't act her way out of a paper bag, thank you for killing her off Brad!) Phelice Sempler as Donna Love, AW (Anna Stuart IS Donna Love) Josh Taylor as Roman Brady, DAYS (loved him on The Hogan Family, loved him on Y&R, loved him on DAYS as Chris...)
