ALL: Dream Soap Lineup

[BadBoy93]

Just thought to me what would be the dream cast list for your favourite Soap.

General Hospital

One Life To Live

All My Children

Guiding Light

etc

let me know your suggestions.

[Mr. Vixen]

Here's mine for GH...I'll have to think about the others:

Genie Francis as Laura Spencer

Anthony Geary as Luke Spencer

Tristan Rogers as Robert Scorpio

Finola Hughes as Anna DeVane

Kimberly McCullough as Robin Scorpio

Rebecca Herbst as Elizabeth Webber

Constance Towers as Helena Cassadine

Tamara Braun as Carly Corinthos

Steve Burton as Jason Morgan (Though NOT as a mobster, but as a DOCTOR...Regaining his QUARTERMAINE memories)

Lynn Herring as Lucy Coe

Jon Lindstorm as Kevin Collins

Stuart Damon as Alan Quartermaine

Billy Warlock as AJ Quartermaine

Robin Christopher as Skye Chandler-Quartermaine

Robbin Mattson as Heather Grant Webber

Scott Reeves as Steven Lars Webber

Jennifer Sky as Sarah Webber (just a temporary role, not permanent)

Richard Dean Anderson as Jeff Webber

Chris Robinson as Rick Webber (revealed that he never really died...possibly...Depending on what the writers could come up with...If not, then just a dream sequence.)

Mary Beth Evans as Katherine Bell (revealed that she never really died, possibly. Helena kidnapped her, she escaped, etc..something)

Wally Kurth as Ned Ashton

Scott Clifton as Dillon Quartermaine

Rachel Ames as Audrey Hardy

Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones

Kristina Wagner as Felicia Jones-Scorpio

Jack Wagner as Frisco Jones

Lindze Letherman as Georgie Jones

John Ingle as Edward Quartermaine

Lesley Charleton as Monica Quartermaine

Jane Elliott as Tracy Quartermaine

Megan Ward as Kate Howard

Jacklyn Zeman as Bobbie Spencer

Denise Alexander as Lesley Webber

Kent King as Lainey Winters

Minae Noji as Kelly Lee

Sonya Eddy as Epiphany Johnson

NEW ACTORS/ACTRESSES I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THE SHOW:

Catherine Hickland (ex-Lindsey, OLTL)- as Haley Webber, Jeff Webber's wife, mother of Sarah/Elizabeth.

Kamar de los Reyes (ex-Antonio, OLTL)- as Ben, a thriving businessman, possible investor in GH, and potential love interest for Liz.

Shemar Moore (ex-Malcolm,Y&R)- Jonathon, a new doctor and love interest to Lainey

John Brotherton (ex-Jared, OLTL) as Benny, new doctor and love interest for Kelly

SORRY, these aren't grouped by familes or anything, I just typed as I thought of them...I will add more later if I think of them...

And, the actors you dont see, such as Maurice Benard, Ingo Rademacher, Jason Thompson, etc...Would NOT be on my dream cast for GH.

[AMCHistory]

I am being realistic here, since you cannot completely transform a canvas.

The Martins:

Tad Gardner Martin- Michael E. Knight

Jake Martin- Ricky Paull Goldin

Jamie Martin- New actor? I was never too impressed with Justin Bruening.

Amanda Martin- Chrishell Stause

Krystal Carey- Bobbie Eakes

Dixie Cooney- Cady McClain

Liza Colby- Marcy Walker

Jeff Martin- John James (takes on the "Joe" role, romance Brooke?)

re-curring: Joe Martin (Ray Macdonnell), Jenny Martin, Kathy Mershon Keefer, Trevor Dillon

The Tylers:

Brooke English- Julia Barr

The Cortlandts:

Opal Cortlandt- Jill Larson

Petey Cortlandt- Daniel Kennedy

Bobby Warner- Brian Gaskill

re-curring: Palmer Cortlandt (James Mitchell)

The Chandlers:

Adam Chandler- David Canary

JR Chandler- Jacob Young

Colby Chandler- Natalie Wood

Scott Chandler- Adam Maysfield

Tim Dillon- Dylan Fergus

Annie Chandler- Melissa Egan

Skye Chandler- Robin Christopher

re-curring: Winifried, Adam Chandler III, Janet Dillon (Robin Mattson)

Kill: Marissa Tasker (worst character of the decade, reveal she is a fraud), Marian Chandler (Jennifer Bassey), Rae Alcazar

The Hubbards:

Jesse Hubbard- Darnell Williams

Angie Hubbard- Debbi Morgan

Frank Hubbard- Cornelius Smith

Natalie Fowler- Shannon Kane

re-curring: Nancy Grant (Lisa Wilkonson, in a "myrtle" like role)

Have Randi die or leave town

Maricks:

Anita Santos- Darlena Dahl or a new actress (add to the doctor scene at PVH, maybe romance Frank? Bobby? Scott?)

Sam Grey- Bobby Steggert (Best young actor of the decade)

Anna Devane- Finola Hughes (how about a Jack/Anna pairing? I loved their dynamic)

Hayward:

David Hayward- Vincent Irizarry

Greenlee duPres- Rebecca Budig

Maggie Stone- Elizabeth Hendrickson

Trey Shepherd- Sam Page (to play off Kendall, maybe romance Greenlee)

Kanes:

Erica Kane Montgomery- Susan Lucci

Kendall Hart- Alicia Minshew (I cannot wait for single Kendall)

Bianca Montgomery- Eden Rigel

Jackson Montgomery- Walt Willey

Reggie Montgomery- Michael Jordan

Ryan Lavery- Cameron Mathison

recurring: Lily Montgomery, Miranda Montgomery, Ian Slater, Spike Lavery, Emma Lavery, Mark Dalton (Mark LaMura)

Others:

Danielle Frye- Tanisha Lynn

Derek Frye- Bill Christian

recurring: Livia Cudahy (Tonya Pinkins), Tom Cudahy (Richard Shoberg)

35 contract actors is probably the maximum number of contract cast members a show can handle, and still have recurring players. I think this miz provides for some major interesting family dynamics and natural character storyline. This also creates some major character sets of people who do not normally interact but now can: Hospital crew (Angie, David, Anita, Jake, Jamie, Maggie, Frankie, Jeff), Police crew (Derek, Jesse, Anna, Natalia, Jackson, Liza), Corporate (FUSION (Bianca, Amanda, Kendall, Greenlee, Dani, Trey, Erica), Chandler (Scott, Adam, JR, Tim), Cortlandt/Marick industry?), TEMPO (how cool would Tad and Brooke teamed up as investigative reporters be?)

[Saving ATWT]

As the World Turns: I would like to see this show seriously reduce the current cast. I would like some new characters but don't think this is the place for that.

I am listing in characters in 'pods' as opposed to families. So, regardless of actor:

Barbara Ryan

Paul Ryan

Emily Stewart

Susan Stewart

Allsion Stewart

Lion Hunter 'Stewart'(recurring)

James Stenbeck

Mick Dante

Dusty Donovan Stenbeck (but only if we found out he is really James Stenbeck's son)

Casey Hughes

Chris Hughes

Frannie Hughes

Nancy, Kim and Bob Hughes (three times a year)(recurring)

Lucinda Walsh

Lilly Walsh

Sierra Estaban

Lucy Montgomery

Bianca 'Walsh'

John Dixon (recurring)

Luke Snyder (only on Holidays)

Jade Tayler (recurring)

Carly Teny

Jack Snyder

Parker Snyder

JJ Snyder (recurring)

Katie Snyder

Simon Frasier

Henry (only 2 times a week)

Maddie Coleman (recurring)

Obviously, some of the returning characters would have husbands/wives along with kids.

22 contract actors. A cast this small makes the show more viable on a new network. The beancounters would be turned on by the higher profit margin. Also, more focus could be placed on key characters. I would like to see new, interesting characters added to the canvas. Exiting Characters could either move or die. I think a bad swine flu-like outbreak (and the aftermath) could kill off quite a few. Bye Bye, Liberty. Lisa could get killed off (as Eileen Fulton has requested) by one of her long lost husbands.

[EricMontreal22]

I'm no good at working my mind around these kinds of things, but AMChistory I like yours a lot (I forgot about some recent wasted characters like Bobby Steggert as Sam. I'd much rather Livia came on full time, finally and interacted with Danielle, and maybe Tom too (a friend for Brooke, etc) than bringin back Derek though, a character who by the time they recast was pretty much DOA. But I definitely like your setup. I also would be down with bringing Anna back even if many think of her as a GH character--I miss her and the type of female she was to the canvas.
