B&B: Who Would You Cut From The Cast?


Recommended Posts

Honestly, i wouldnt mind at all if B&B started to take the focus off everyone and bring in a slew of new people. Some people of diff race, and sexuality. B&B cant do this as it is becauser the focus is around brooke & Ridge & The Forresters & thats it.

Sure people whould complain, and some people would stop watching. but if done correctly it could work, IMHO, esp if you use someone as an anchor. Say Brooke. have Brooke go out and start her own line all on her own. They could the focus on her employees and her new life if you will.

I'd cut Nick. Keep Jackie around and make Nick's departure/death somehow connected to Stephanie to give Jackie a motive to come on strong with the fashion house.

I'd also cut either Donna or Katie. I think having one of Brooke's sisters is fine, but we don't need both of them. I wouldn't know which to pick, I like Heather Tom but Katie has been torn to pieces. I'm not that big of a fan of Jennifer Gaeris (sp) but Donna has been more interesting to me than Katie.

Jack Wagner, Heather Tom, Jennifer Garcias, Texas Battle, Brandon Beemer. I would love to reestablish the Forrester Family with Maggie and Jessica and maybe a sister for Eric played by Morgan Fairchild. I would married off Ridge and Taylor and send them to Forrester's overseas somewhere. Reestablish Spectra with Joan Collins as Sally's cousin or sister to Jackie. bring back CJ and Clarke's other son with Margo. Recast the Logan sisters with the original actors so the can be the right age and not the same age as Bridget and Rick.

B&B has this way of killing potential in actors. Lesli Kaye, Leslie Anne Down, Heather Tom... they all came on to rave reviews. All of them have been close to the chopping block and received reprieves. It is clear that viewers want to see these actors more, but they just languish. Kudos to Bell for recognizing their talents and keeping them on contract, but what waste of legitimate talent.

I agree with those who say that Jack Wagner has passed his prime on B&B. He is a strong actor, but does not seem to share chemistry with any actress. His love stories are all duds. Also, he lacks the glamour of the other characters. Every other actor has something exotic about their look: Moss's square jaw, Gaeris' cheak bones, etc etc... Not that his looks matter but for B&B a soap about glamour and the over the top lifestyle of LA's westside, Wagner seems out of place.

Nick Marrone. From sailer to fashion, from Brooke to Bridget, Taylor, Felicia, Katie. The Marrones (and the Ramirez family) were Brad Bell's attempt to do the same thing his father did with Y&R in the early eighties, but it didn't work out. The fact that Nick is related to so many people for no reason at all doesn't help things.

Same goes for Jackie, unless she marries Eric.

The logical thing would be for Ridge and Taylor to become the new Eric and Stephanie of the show, but with RM's acting skills it's impossible. Recast Ridge with a real actor or have them remarry and leave for Europe.

Saint Katie OUT

Rick and Bridget OUT

Recast Thomas

Taylor

Ridge

Katie

Donna

Steffy

I'd keep Nick, but have him be the sailor Nick, not the businessman Nick. He was much more likable then. I almost said Rick, because Bell has ruined him like he does most characters, but I like KL and think he could bring something if written better.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
