Mitch. Despise the character and I've turned off the show because of him before. And I've been a non-fan of RB since his Ryan's Hope days.

Todd. Enough already.

A tie between Layla, who is purposeless and Marty, who is overrated and boring (I don't understand the hype.)

Todd, Blair and Coma Cop.

Coma Cop seems self explanatory. He is on every day, but does he have a pulse? He looks perpetually stoned, and projects as much energy. How he became the star is beyond me.

Blair. 15 years on the front burner is enough. Let her take a rest for a few years and rotate Cassie back as the Kramer child of choice.

Todd. He lost his allure a long time ago. They just repeat and repeat. Todd and Marty, Todd and Blair, Todd and Tea, Todd and Blair, Todd and Marty, Todd and Tea. Enough is enough. If there is nothing else to say with this character then give him a rest and bring back Kevin or Joey as they are comparative blank slates.

That tends to be more about couples they want her to cause problems for or support (John/Marty, Todd/Tea). I feel like they've been phasing her out of actual connections to the show over the past few years, especially with Starr and Dorian.

Only three? OLTL has one of the worse casts on the soaps. I'd say it is tied with Days with the horrible and bad acting. OLTL's cast needs a complete makeover. Off the top of my head, here are the ones who need to go first:

Todd

John

Cole

Starr

Dani

Gigi

Rex

Jessica

Greg

Destiny - recast

True. OTOH, as I've said before, I think some mileage could be extracted from Rex as a single parent to Shane. I realize JPL isn't everyone's cup of tea, though, so I'd be willing to recast, so long as the new Rex has the same brother-sister chemistry w/ Melissa Archer's Natalie.

(1) Mitch Laurance-----Should'be never been brought back this time. I'd make use of this miserable return and kill Mitch off for good and have it definitely fixed that he could never bring back from the dead again. An organ or two or three would be definitively proven as his and put into another character(s).

(2) Robert Ford----Should've never been brought on as a contract role, the actor is soo gay imho,

(3) Greg Evans---Terrell Tilford should be re-cast with maybe Peter Parros, Monti Sharp or Real Andrews.

Bring back on contract....

(1) Dan Gauthier as Kevin Buchanan. Viki's oldest son should always be a part of the cast and front and center imho.

(2) Laura Bonarrigo as Cassie Cramer. Same goes for Dorian's oldest daughter.

(3) Karen Witter as Tina Lord. Since Andrea Evans does not seem to want to return on a full-time basis, bring the other awesome Tina and write Tina correctly this time.

PS since Daphne Duplaix is out as Rachel Gannon, Please ONE LIFE re-cast with the original Rachel, Ellen Bethea.

They might as well bring Peter Parros back as Ben Price. I know we probably won't see Sheila again (and if we did I would only want to see Valerie Pettiford), but I'm sure they had other relatives. Unfortunately I can't see them doing any more with Ben than they did with Greg. But Peter is a better actor and is aging very well.

I don't think we will ever see Tina again :(

    • Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17. Is that the first time soap children have been SORASed twice before ever airing?

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.

    • I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!
    • !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      , Facts! I would like to see something like that in Daytime. Both of y'all can back up off my husband! Tomas couldn't shine his shoes.
    • Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.
    • Bill attempts to use Smitty to send a veiled thread to Martin.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.
    • I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry). 
    • Bill and the performer are the strongest male character and actor on this show.  Yeah, how I see it too. you pair your best young female with one of the weakest screams sabotage to me.  I like this idea, it doesn't make things too predictable. I would buy that!
