Members detroitpiston Posted May 20, 2009 Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 I was just getting used to these Spike's. Hope this doesn't mean they're SORASing Emma too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted May 20, 2009 Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 Emma is too cute, I hope they don't let her go. But isn't Emma suppose to be older than Spike? eight years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted May 20, 2009 Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 Unless he is a really young looking 8 year old.... that is possible.... if not this will screw up continuity big time. I'd hate to see Lucy Merriam go. In a few years that girl could be contending for a younger actress emmy if she keeps progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 So Spike is going to be older than Miranda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I was actually hoping I would find news that NotColby is being recasted LOL.. or Randi... If they SORAS Spike, that would screw up the whole children scene. If Spike was 8, Emma, Kathy, Mimo and Little Adam would be teens??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wonder if the kid got the role mixed up? Maybe it's supposed to be Little A? Cause Spike older than MiMo and Emma is so dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Acrunch Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 How could Spike be older than Emma? That doesn't make sense. Maybe it's just a dream of Kendall's or Zach's where she pictures the boys in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 There's NOWAY Spike could be older than Mimo! NOWAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now this makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Spike older than Miranda is equally as dumb considering she was born on the same day as Lil A Maybe this kid is only set to play Spike in a dream sequence that Kendall has of her future?

Members SteveFrame Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I hate the term anyway but how in the world can Briane Moncrief not be Colby. For one thing she is the one playing Colby - so that makes her Colby. Second if you judge it on how long a person plays a role, what is the magic number that the person becomes the character and everyone else afterward is Not(insert characters name) The other girl wasn't even there long enough to be forever identified with the role. If she was then I guess Alicia Minshew is NotKendall and Lee Meriwether is definitely NotRuth and Michael E. Knight is NotTad because John E. Dunn was the first adult one so is he forever Tad and Knight NotTad. I just don't understand the term at all. As to the subject at hand, I sure hope this is a dream and AMC is not doing this. But in the world of daytime and SORASing who knows. Pete and Amanda were born in the same year yet Amanda is older. I remember on GH one week back in the 70's, Tommy Hardy and Laura Webber were playing together - both the same age and the next week Laura was a teenager. SORASing is okay when they kind of do it in order but when they age one and not another it really is so stupid and I really hate when they skip ages making some child that is younger older than another. DAys has done that several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Easy by making the character unrecognizable due to writing, NuNotLiza is an example, talk about not Liza in every way........ That's my guess Cheap, but would they audition for something like that though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do you guys watch soaps? Continuity means nothing to these people. GL aged Leah over Zach and Jude a few years ago making her older then those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 How do you guys even find this stuff out? Can you search "All My Children" on Twitter or something? I don't think the kid would be mixed up, if anything he may have been given wrong information, but I doubt it. I was really warming up to the last Colby when Brianne came along and I resented the choice to recast, but then when I read some (true/not-so-true?) things about the last Colby, well, let the door knob hit her. Recasts like DePaiva for Korf for example can be very jarring and hard to swallow, but I try to borrow my theatre sensibilities when accepting recasts. I like to think of soaps as one huge rep company, roles being recast and reimagined all the time. Of course we'll always have our favorites. Generally speaking, they'd all be much easier to accpet if we were always trading great actor for great actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
