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.

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
