Members Cheap21 Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 the character of Greenlee is so not needed on AMC. Id rather see her in a new role than Greenlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 13, 2009 Members Share Posted June 13, 2009 Good. Im happy. I want Gina at Y&R. However they need to make room for her. Victoria Newman does need to be recasted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 I wouldn't wish any actress to play this role. RB ever returned, they'd dump the recast so fast our heads would spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 Not if it were Gina Tognoni. (It's not like she's just some Sabine Singh...) Definitely not. And I agree that she'd make a great Greenlee. I'd rather see Tognoni as Greenlee than as Kelly - especially since OLTL has enough heroines to go around. But if it's true that she was too pricey for ABC, then AMC would obviously be off the map, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 Just cast her as Victoria, Y&R, and bitch the character up again and write her as a strong woman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have to question if they want to make Victoria into Victor's daughter again. If they do... then yes, please. do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 People assume that GL doesn't pay, but when you're a major star like Gina Tognoni, I'm sure she makes good money for a soap. Ricky Paull Goldin recently said he took a paycut when he went from GL to AMC. AMC is higher rated and on ABC, but he still took a pay cut. If Tognoni came to OLTL, she'd be a very supporting character in a full canvas, so her making less money than at GL is VERY likely. Many would like her as Victoria on Y&R and while I'd LOVE to see the character return, I don't want that show to begin with too many recasts. Look at ATWT, a few years ago it was just Sierra, Dusty and Craig, now 70% of the canvas is recast. Either Bring Heather Tom back or give Amelia the strong story to make the character work. Victoria is rarely written as the mini-Victor that she is. Hell, I was hoping SHE'D be the one tormenting Ashley. They give her very little to do and when she is given something big, it's the wrong type of thing. I know she's not the best actress, but there is still frontburner potential IMO.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 No, Ameila Heinle just seriously needs to go. Even in the littlest of scenes, she sleepwalks through them and conveys very little emotion. The writing isn't there for the character, but neither is Ameila's acting ability. I don't mind recasts, but they have to work. If they wrote Victoria true to character, and Gina was playing the role, I'm almost certain it would click. Heinle isn't very convincing as anything other than the damsel in distress heroine, which should NOT be Victoria. Heinle plays every scene the same way and has no range. They need to revamp the character and cast Tognoni, or just bring Heather Tom back, who is wasted on B&B and her acting has suffered majorly by being on that show.

Members cara mia Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 If MTS is (sadly) out the door, that frees up money for Y&R to sign Heather Tom and give her number of appearance guarantees she wants. HT would be better than GT because casting HT allows you to use all tons of awesome flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 There's the problem of HT's contract with B&B and Brad Bell not willing to let her go yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dawn9476 Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 She asked for too much money? It's not another soap is going to be able to afford her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 That can't happen unless they get rid of Cameron Mathison. GT saddled with CM would be a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doyen Posted June 14, 2009 Members Share Posted June 14, 2009 Seems like it's always a money issue with GT. Word has it she was in negotiations with OLTL to reprise the role in 2003, but it didn't happen because they couldn't come to terms on salery. Oh well. I'm not complaining, because I was not a fan of her version of Kelly. I'd sooner opt for a recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
