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.

    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
