What would you think of...

Stacy Haiduk as Taylor? Sans-RM of course though in an idealized world Ridge would be long in the ground. I think she's prettier and less unhinged than HT, (the former being her own doing, btw.) PLUS - she could really do the moral compass thing as a classy woman. WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER WITH KKL.

Whattya think?

The whole point of some characters on B&B is that they've been played by the same actor for decades. That's the main reson they are there. Recasting them would be pointless. If a new actress were to join the show, it would be much wiser to create a new role for her.

FIRST - my position of Lesli Kay's message board admin is unrelated to my opinions about anything, and of course my views are not endorsed by Lesli, I'm not pretending to speak for her, OBVIOUSLY.

Secondly: if a woman takes back a man who beat her kids, and does countless publicity stunts, writes a book about her daughter's eye cancer called "Making a Miracle" that ends up being more about herself (is her life the miracle she made? Or is it her post-op appearance?) she loses all my respect.

I've grown tired of the character but mostly the way HT plays it... she was fantastic and gorgeous her first time around, and she was significant to the storyline. Now I just find her painful to watch, and stale.

All opinions, of course, and it's a hypothetical. The question posed by the post is: "WOULD STACY HAIDUK BE ABLE TO PLAY TAYLOR IF GIVEN THE CHANCE."

Just because someone is around a long time doesn't make them the best person for the job... Bush did 8 years right?

I have an online bud who brought up Lisa Peluso as a possible recast for Taylor. The more I think of it, the more I like it. Peluso would give Taylor layers and an edge that Tylo is just not capable of IMO. Tylo's performances are typically one -dimensional. Peluso knew how to make even the bitchiest, most evil soap villains occasionally sympathetic. Tylo rarely ever brings that to her role as Taylor. In Tylo's hands, Taylor has only ever been 'good' when she's angry and bitchy (like the confrontation at Big Bear where she hounds Brooke because Ridge dumped her. It's when she gives the 'whores of the world' speech).

Honestly, honestly, and I say this as a former fan, I think it is both the actress and the writing. But if the writing would return to Taylor as strong and stable and smart, Tylo could still pull that off.

Stacy Haiduk would be Tricia Quick 2.0. Bring on the pasta sauce.

I don't know about you guys, but I've loved Taylor the second time around. This "drugging Ridge" thing is wrong on many levels, but any issue with Taylor should be taken with the writing and dialogue. I accept Tylo and embrace her...chicken dancing and all.

And BTW, tell Christian LeBlanc to take that DAMN finger out of his mouth! There's enough oral action on Y&R without having to see THAT.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
