All: One Hit Blunders

I also liked Don Jeffcoat. I remember him from that Nickelodeon show, Wild and Crazy Kids. The problem with him as Joey though was that he was too regular. He didnt fit as the soap star type

this is the coimplete opposite of the One Hit Wonders thread. Once in a while a show will think they've done some amazing casting with a new actor, however the audience doesnt think so. Sometimes its not their fault as the writing and or character they play is just that bad. Fortunately in some cases this person never gets another chance to be a 2 time disaster on another show. Who are some of daytime's 1 time blunders?

AMC

Alana de la Garza (Rosa) - I dont even rmember much about her except that she looked too old for the role. She was very forgettable

As much as I'd like to say that Rrrrrrosa hasn't had any success following her AMC run, it seems like she's been a regular cast member on Law & Order for a few seasons. Judging from the pictures, she looks old as hell there too.

ATWT's biggest one-hit BLUNDER in the last couple of years: JORDAN WHOOLEY as Nick Kasnoff. Just noooo. Nice to look at it, but absolutely NOTHING else.

It's like Jo Ann Worley said with your thumb in your mouth.

Well he was on the short lived Beautiful Life this fall, but again nothing else would still stand LOL

Ken K. spoke with a monotone voice and had not quite yet mastered the art of talking like a real person. I think he was on for all of two days, three maybe, but all I seem to remember is his first scene with Viki. Kevin had been away for a bit, and you know Viki, she was going through some life trial (can't remember if it was DID-related or somebody died), but at any rate, I just remember him offering her some words of love and comfort and it was embarrassing to see this non-actor playing a scene with ES, let alone as her CHILD. A thousand lashes to whoever approved of his casting, they turned him loose soon enough, but this is why people talk smack about soaps.

For some reason I don't think of Hogestyn as a blunder cause he was on for over twenty years and Peyton List keeps getting steady work in primetime.

But blunders who haven't been mentioned yet?

Ann Hamilton(3rd Mindy, GL)

Teresa Hill(the first Eden, GL)

Whoever played Sarah Travers, ATWT

Spencer Grammer (Lucy, ATWT)

Spencer Grammer (Lucy, ATWT)

As much as I wanted to believe that ...Lucy... wouldn't find much work after her ATWT stint, I was shocked to see that she got one of the leads in "Greek," and then subsequently shocked to see that it became a big hit with her as a leading performer.

At the time I thought I would have included Elisabeth Rohm, but no, she kept on finding work. I think the only thing I ever liked her on was "Angel".

I found her atrocious on Angel and was always happy when the work she did find was on shows I did not watch.

same here. Her character was so annoying

She's great on that show. I wouldnt mind seeing her in daytime again once that end

That girl (can't even remember her name) who played Bridget on B&B between Jennifer Finnigan and Ashley Jones.

Also Kelli Barrett who did a short stint on ATWT as a Maddie recast around Christmas/New Year 2008-09. In that case I'm not sure how much blame we can put on the actress though. The writers seemed to have forgotten everything about who Maddie was.

Bella-A-Rahmer

I love watching her clips on youtube. I wish she would come back just for the fun of it all.

I LOVED Charity Rahmer as Belle. It was just so amusing to watch people like Alison Sweeney, Lauren Koslow and Kyle Brandt trying to bring their A-game around this hot mess. I often wonder what she was trying to achieve with her portrayal of the character except from a steady gig in porno slasher flicks. And I'm still puzzled as to why nobody told her to play it differently. That scene just after Lucas proposed to Sami and she's trying to flirt with her on screen father will go down as a classic! I think Rahmer was planned to make everyone love Martha Madison coming in as Belle after Kirsten Storms had been so established in the role.

Erin Sanders (Eden, 2008)

Emily Harrison (Bridget, 2004) (B&B's only unsuccessful recast, that I can think of)

Oh god, I thought I had blocked Erin Sanders' hideous portrayal out of my memory forever, but it's all come flooding back to me. As for Harrison, I actually thought she wasn't bad as Bridget, it was just hard to follow such an established actress as Jennifer Finnegan.

Spencer Grammer (Lucy, ATWT)

I liked Spencer Grammer as Lucy. She was okay, one hundred times better than the last actress who played the role. I cant even remember her name but she was horrible. Sarah something? She would definitely go down as a HUGE blunder in my book.

I have always thought that.
