Members Eric200 Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 In the modern day it has to be Kevin Buchanan on OLTL. If you count people that played him as a kid he may of been played already by more than ten people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 Tom Hughes was recast like 9 or 10 times. The all-time was probably Jo's daughter Patti on Search For Tomorrow, who was played by way too many actresses to count, with brief stints from everyone from Nancy Pinkerton to Tina Sloan.

Members sheilaforever Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 If you include child actors the role of Noah Newman on Y&R should be high on that list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, I believe Noah was played by 11 actors (counting twins as one, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 Tom Hughes beats Kevin Buchanan by one. Tom has 13, Kevin as 12, Noah has 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 13? Wow. Up until Scott Holmes, Tom was also one of those characters like Mike Horton who never really aged for many, many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 Because they aged him like 100 years over the course of the 60s. He was born onscreen in 1961, and somehow managed to become a Vietnam veteran by the early 70s. That was typical of Irna's shows, though. Don't even get me started on Ed and Mike Bauer from GL.

Members SteveFrame Posted March 19, 2009 Members Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mike Horton & Tom Hughes both suffered from the same thing. Fast aging up then aging back down. Tom's age by the end of the 70's was going on up with actors like Tom Tammi hired to play him and then they brought his age back down a little when they finally hired Scott Holmes to play him. But at least Tom wasn't treated like Mike who was deaged way too much. Mike horton should be old enough to be Carrie's father and not her lover. I've been working on All My Children's Comprehensive Cast list for my site and I can give some info on some of them over there. 6 Actors Already: Colby Pete J.R. Bianca Jake Charlie Jeff (done without any child actors - all played him as an adult) 7 Actors Already: Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 Recasts totals can be skewered if child actors are included.Some of these might only have been seen for a few appearances. I am including actors ages where possible to give an idea of how the character was aged As far as Tom Hughes is concerned,I think the child actors were featured fairly frequently.Tom was born in 61,so there would have been babies playing the part 61-63 James Madden 63 Jerry Schaffer 64 Frankie Michaels 64-66 Actor was 9 in 1964 Richard Thomas 66-67 Actor was 15/16 years old at the time Paul O'Keefe 67-68 Actor was 16/17 at that time Peter Galman 69-73 Actor was 24 in 1969 C David Colson 74-78 Actor was 33 in 1974 Tom Tammi 79-80 Justin Deas 81-84 Jason Kincaid 84 Gregg Marx 84-87 Scott Holmes 87- Total 12 Jamie Frame Born in 1969 Seth Holzlein 1970 Aiden McNulty 72 Tyler Mead 72 Brad Bedford 72-73 Bobby Doran 73-78 Actor was 14 in 73 Tim Holcomb 78-79 Richard Bekins 79-82 Actor was 25 in 79 Stephen Yates 83-85 Laurence Lau 86-90 Russell Todd 90-93 Total 10 Patti Tate Lynn Loring 51-61 Actress played the role aged 6-16 Nancy Pinkerton 61 Abigail Kellogg 61-64 Patricia Harty 64-65 Actress was 23 in 64 Gretchen Walther 65 Actress was 27 in 65 Melissa Murphy 65-66 Trish Vandevere 67 Actress was 25 in 67 Melinda Plank 67-69 Actress was 25 in 67 Leigh Lassen 69-75 Tina Sloan 76-77 Actress was 33 in 76 Jacqueline Shultz Total 11 Mike Powers The Doctors Rex Thompson 64-66 Actor was 22 in 64 Harry Packwood 66 Robert LaTourneaux 67 Peter Burnell 68-74 Actor was 24 in 68 Michael Landrum 74-75 Armand Assante 75-77 Actor was 26 in 75 John Shearin 77-79 James Storm 79-81 Actor was 36 in 79 Ashby Adams 81-82 Stephen Burleigh 82 actor was 33 in 82 Total 10 Mike Horton Kyle Puerner 1968 - 1969 Wade Holdsworth 1969 Craig Bond 1969 Brian Andrews 1970 Bobby Eilbacher 1970 Was 7 in 70 Eddie Rayden 1970 Alan Decker 1970 - 1971 Was 9 in 70 John Amour 1971 - 1973 Was 12 in71 Dick DeCoit 1973 Stuart Lee 1973 Wesley Eure 1974 - 1981 Was 23 in 74 Paul Coufus 1981 -1982 Michael T.

Members All My Shadows Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 Damn. WHY do they feel the need to screw around with ages so much? Not only does it screw up the character's history, but also their friends and family's too. ATWT's aging of Dan Stewart took Ellen out of the Penny/Bob/etc age group and put her in the Nancy age group. They basically ripped away any storyline potential that she could have had in the late 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric200 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 And it is confusing when they show flashbacks like the other week on Y&R when they showed Victor and Nikki with baby Nick.Im sure the scene was from circa 1989 but now that Nick is around 32 was that flashback supposed to take place in the 70's? Did Victor and Nikki meet in the 80's or the 70's now? This makes my head hurt lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm pretty sure Victor first appeared in the beginning of 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 I believe they did the same thing to Tara Martin on AMC when they aged Bobby and Kelsey, suddenly she was matronly when she was supposed to be a contemporary of Erica's.
