Members Vee Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I remember when they planned to pair Doris with Buzz - I actually liked that idea, so GL dropped it in three seconds, much like the dynamite storyline of Olivia falling for her rapist. So then Doris arbitrarily became a lesbian and Buzz inexplicably became involved with Lillian, that grinning gorgon of death, otherwise known as "The Only Available Woman Of A Certain Age Left So Dammit, Buzz, You're Gonna [!@#$%^&*] Her."

Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 I liked Doris/Buzz too, although I didn't really mind Buzz with Lillian, as they were both so over the top (and they had a good scene where she broke up with him because he reminded her of her abusive husband). I did get tired of the whole, "They're old people and they're making out!" jokes, that type of thing in public is a bit tacky at any age. I know they had Doris with Alan for a while too but I guess that was never supposed to go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Cane was short term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 He was originally going to be an evil con after Jill's money but TPTB liked Goddard so they kept him on as the "real" Chancellor heir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 Oh. For some reason back then I thought they were going to do the story about the con guy with a heart of gold, redeemed by love or his new family, etc. I wonder if they were going to have him end up like Plum or Ji Min.

Members DavidsMuse Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 VI's Lujack was supposed to be a three-day role, but positive audience response was such that three days became two years! Ditto David on AMC: three months has become 12 years, minus the three months that stretched to 20 months on Y&R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Gillespie or "G" on GL was somewhat well-received, so he came back as Grady Foley and was not well-received. Doris on GL was I think originally intended to be a short-term character only during court scenes. Bringing on Ashlee made her part of the fabric of the show.

Members R Sinclair Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 During the 35th anniversary she said that she was amazed she'd been with the show for 35 years, remembering how when she got the part, she thought her initial contract of 3 years seemed like a lifetime. Erica's more of a secondary character that became a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 Nah. I wish Reggie did take off, but unfortunately, McTavish just wasn't that into him when she took over five months after MBJ's Reggie was introduced. By the end of his run, he was a glorified babysitter for Lily -- who was getting story after story and even romance after romance. And then didn't get a send off.

Members Scotty Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 OLTL: I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Todd Manning. The character was only supposed to be for a few episodes, and didn't even have a name at first. He was just "Fratboy #2." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 I recall Reggie and Joni (played by the amazing Amanda Seyfried, love her) being fairly popular. And didn't they basically twist story so Jack could adopt Reggie (and then forget he exists, argh)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 Esther (Y&R) was originally a day player maid.I think Jeanne Cooper came up with the name Esther. On DOOL,Pete Jannings was a 2bit hood and went on to become a major player.Don't know why:Michael Leon was pretty awful. Whatever happened to him?

Members DeeeDee Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 Reggie/Joni & Reggie/Dani were both popular. Now Jack acts like he only has two children. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
