I hope the Williams enjoy a resurgence...

If they're looking for a random new young man...instead of the next Ji Min or Adrian Korbel...there is no reason not to make him Brooks Prentiss. And, well, what Bill Bell wanted is somewhat irrelevant at this point...what matters is what MAB and her team want.

First if the character Mary Jo is Patty what a disappointment it will be. I did love the character back then. By why not get Andrea Evans to reprise the role?

And who would be Brooks Prentiss?? I am lost there and too lazy to go search through this thread for the answer. :lol:

LOL...I liked her in the role.

I know that. I meant what current character on the canvas would he be. I thought that's what Mark was referring to.

Too tedious.

Lorie and Leslie Brooks were sisters.

Lance and Lucas Prentiss were brothers.

Over time, each sister was with each brother, although mostly Lorie (the novelist) and Leslie (the pianist) fought over Lance.

Leslie got pregnant (I think while Lorie was married to Lance) by Lance. She tried to conceal the pregnancy (by living in Europe and claiming to have eaten too many Swiss chocolates), and Lance's brother tried to step up and marrie Leslie to give the child a name...but in the end, Lorie figured it out. This child was Brooks Prentiss.

Well, eventually Leslie went crazy (again) and wandered out of town, with amnesia. She was gone for a long time, in St. Louis, singing in the bar of a kindly man named Jonas.

Lorie took care of the boy, and grew to love him like a son. So when Leslie finally got her head together and came back to town, Leslie and Lorie had an ugly custody fight over Brooks. Lorie claimed maternal abandonment. In the end, though Leslie got her child back.

Tina, Tawny and Rebecca were so over the top characters. I hated her in those roles. But Patty was different from what I remember. She is the original Patty. It would have been nice seeing her opposite Doug Davidson again.

No someone else said they should bring Brooks back...I agreed...if they're looking for the next random young man.

Andrea is not the original Patty. The original is Lillibet Stern.

OH ok now I get what you were saying.

Eh...Lillibet Stern didnt even register with me.

Just like Martha Byrne is original LIly and not the actress who portrayed her before.

    • 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.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
