Members Vee Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 I do think Dennehy's Blake was very reminiscent of Glenn in Fatal Attraction from what I've seen, in terms of sleek style, mood, etc. She could be imperious, cold, very tough yet complex. I prefer SS but I found both far more interesting and formidable than Liz Keifer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Dennehy was clearly cast as Blake before they had it in mind to reveal her as Christina. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 I always thought that Dennehy's Blake was Beth Raines. Any suggestions for a Blake recast instead of Keifer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Robin Christopher would have been a far better Blake than she was a Lorna, but even she wouldn’t have been quite right. I loved Sherry Stringfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Didn't Long have it in the back of her mind that she was Chrissy, but did not reveal that yet, and then the producer cast Dennehy during the writer's strike? I remember ED saying that the headwriter hated her and she couldn't figure out why. I always kind of felt sorry for her. All this talk of Blake reminds me of another lost opportunity in casting with Lizzie. Lizzie should have been very, very complex and they first made her a silly valley girl, then a psycho, then back to a valley girl with the second recasting. Marci Ryan was cute as hell and it wanst her fault, she was just miscast (maybe Mindy and Rick's love child yes, she was way too bright and sunny to be a Spaulding.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Let's not forget when they had Daisy younger than Lizzie. SMH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Alison Hirschlag was the first teen Lizzie and she was VERY good, not silly at all, even though her curly hair often had me thinking that visually she should’ve been Tammy. That mane was identical to Cassie’s. Unfortunately, she chose to leave after a short term and Lizzie went back to boarding school, to return as suicidal firestarter Crystal Hunt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Agreed. I loved Alison Hirschlag's portrayal, as well as how they wrote the role at the time. It was a complete 180 when Crystal Hunt took over and became a vapid jealous brat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 At the time, I thought Crystal Hunt had that "old school soap" look about her -- like, if it still had been the 1960's, I'm certain she would've been on LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING or WHERE THE HEART IS. It's just too bad her acting skills weren't as classic (in a good way) as her face and hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 29, 2019 Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 Marcy Rylan and 1983 era Krista T were so alike in mannerisms, vocal tones, etc... it was eerie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted October 30, 2019 Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 Phyllis was more of a Vixen you rooted for/anti heroine upon her return (like Lisa, Rachel, Erica, Nola, both Carlys, Vicki, Sami, etc.), its a common soap trope, she was never written as a heroine, or canonized as a Saint like Beth or Reva lol. For me, the problem with Reva, is she ate up the whole show to the detriment of other female characters, especially in the late 80s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 30, 2019 Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 I was a big fan of Kat back then. I loved her friendship with Bridget. I was so disappointed in her exit story. Looking back I guess I should be grateful as many had much worse - if they had exits at all. I think she may have been the last black cast member to have one... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
