Recommended Posts

AMC-

Bianca - How can anyone care about her? she comes and goes too much. Get an actress who will commit.

Colby - she could eb a great young heroine oir vixen or combo if the actress could pull off the role.

Days-

Jeremy, Mike, Abby, Jenn - Thios show has done a great thing by shifting focus off the long overexposed Bradys and onto the Kiriakis family. Now its time to rebuild the Hortons!

Jonah - Days could use a hot AA male to mix it up.

Y&R-

Abby - Should be so complex and layered. Not a one note valley girl. SDure spoiled rich, but she needs to be a bitch, not a brat. She should embody her mother and her father as well as brad who raised her.

Scotty, Nate, Philip - Cast these young men to give Olivia, Lauren, and Nina something to do! Personally, Devon and Kevin can go to make room if thats needed.

Colleen - The actress just isnt working., She doesnt carry any fire and passion thats needed for this role.

Tyra - if you want a heroine you need to recast. If you want evil take her there and IMHO EM could pull it off.

Sigh. I'd add Eden to this. With each new appearance, the actress' limitations get clearer.

Between this and your invoking she-who-must-not-be-named in an AMC spoiler thread...you're itching for conflict, eh?

But don't forget that your three new young men could each (all??) serve as viable love interests for Rafe!

I agree. I think JT, Victoria and Colleen should be a MAJOR show-stopping triangle. But at least two sides of that are weak, weak, weak. Imagine someone closer to a grown-up Colleen (more in the Fonseca mode) doing battle with a fierce Heather Tom (the one true Victoria). That would be must-see.

Let her go. It seems like, happily, they are reinventing Neil. Let him find new partners on his new adventure. Ana and Tyra are legally together. They should go back to the west coast with Devon, and the three of them should try to save Yolanda off canvas.

Then, into the breach, beef up Olivia, bring back Nate...and we have the start of something...seasoned with regular visits from (IMO) both Della Reese and Aunt Mamie. (Though I prefered Marguerite Ray).

Eden just needs to die with kevin, jana, jeff, and gloria.

Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. :wub::P

And sure they all could, it would be even better if one or two was bi. But i wasnt talking about letting Kevin and Devon go to free up romantic room. Because they really dont take any romantic room away. More canvas room.

Without a doubt.

Whoever would have thought Thad would be the strongest part in a triangle? Im not bashing him at all, i personally love him, but i know hes pretty much hated here.

I agree, but they seem hellbent on keeping her and pimping her to make us love her.

Okay, I'm just not gonna discuss this :). Well, just a little.

Seriously, I'd be fine with Eden getting a secret communication from her dad and taking off. That said, I'd LIKE to have Michael have a relatable young "daughter figure". That could work. But the actress would have to be stronger, and he'd need more screen time with her.

Jana can die. I like Ms. O'Brien a lot, but I think a free-and-despondent Kevin opens up interesting possibilities. And they could play such an amazing Love Story beat before she dies.

Jeff should never have been created. I think Shackleford does wonders with it, but this is the most dislikable character on daytime. Love the actor, HATE the character (like Dee Deee hates Cane).

Kevin and Gloria. Leave my F-Bs alone!

Hands down, across all the soaps, Colby at AMC. I don't even watch most of the shows but I know that no other show is placing the future in their show in an ingenue who can't encapsulate the character, is too old for the part, and doesn't evoke any emotion whatsoever.

As for Randi, shouldn't they just get rid of the character before thinking about a recast? I've never had major issues with Denise, but this seems to me to make the most sense.

Once again, I have no issue with her, but why not just ditch her entirely? OLTL's cast of recurring characters is EXTREMELY bloated. They're not using Justin, who's on contract, to interact with Matthew. Just make them a gay couple and be done with it.

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
