Y&R: More Bad Mis-Recasting, Marcy Rylan IN as NuAbby

[soapfan770]

I enjoyed Rylan on GL and she was so much better than Crystal Hunt she made Lizzie come alive. But as Abby? Unless she can convincingly pull it off I say no.Recast MAB/Hamner/Sheffer/Rauch instead!

[MoTheGreat]

I think she can work out only if they aged Kyle.

[Sylph]

:lol:

[Cheap21]

WTF? Isnt Marcy Rylan a bit too old for Abby? Y&R has been making the WORST casting choices over the past year. MR belongs on AMC or OLTL damn it!

[catsmeouch]

I don't see anyone swooning over Ryder. He's a peripheral character who's hardly ever on. That being said, I'd love to see more of him.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Their excuse is that Bill Bell did rapid SORASING....

Did Bell ever IMMEDIATELY recast a 15 year old actress with one that's 30 without a significant resting period?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

:lol: :lol:

"LOVE writing crap and spinning it to fans!"

[catsmeouch]

I want to see these people spin it when their stupid mistakes get Y&R knocked from the #1 position in the ratings.

I love the actor who plays Ryder, too, catsmeouch. But the fact is, he is mired in the show's worst SL (and that's saying something). In addition, he has nothing to do with the fact that Y&R are recasting people who do not need to be recasted while blatantly ignoring the fundamental problems (and crappy untouchable actors like Heinle and Khalil) killing the show.

Just because you've been #1 for 30 years does not guarantee you will be #1 for another 30.

Oh, we can't forget this:

"Thanks to those who never made it personal."

[DeeeDee]

This isn't surprising.

Maria's wanted to do this since Tammin.

A check is a check.

+1.

[bellcurve]

They've gotten so complacent and lazy because they don't think they HAVE to work hard to keep #1. The writing is on the wall for Y&R/B&B, especially if they don't add a new soap or ship DAYS to the lineup. And Bloom probably has it out for those shows as well because she couldn't implement or work her agenda onto them the way she wanted. She is clearly more interested in low-cost programming.

What is going to happen in September will be interesting. I wonder if more affiliates will follow the Atlanta model by airing Y&R at 3PM, moving it up an hour early or later and maybe even getting rid of B&B, especially since there is no real incentive for keeping it, when more money can be made in an hourlong newscast.

The sad thing is that, at this point, Bloom's interference might actually HELP Y&R. Can't be any worse than Maria flying blind.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Yeah, I think with a two soap lineup, CBS won't be invested in it for much longer.

In this case, I would be thankful. The sooner this show gets put out of its misery, the better at this point.

The only exception would be if we were to get a better regime change, but since that's unlikely to happen...

[bellcurve]

I bet Maria secured herself a sweet deal(lots of money, creative control) at the expense of fans. Her deal for EP and HW are probably airtight and were for multiple years.

[DeeeDee]

Exactly.

But ABC would.

Get rid of OLTL & AMC to drive DOOL to cancellation.
