ALL: They Almost Became

[kalbir]

I've always wondered which other actresses were considered to replace Eileen Davidson when she left Y&R in 1988. I often felt Brenda Epperson got cast as Ashley because she looked similar to Eileen.

[John]

Sandra Dee Robinson & Susan Haskell were considered for Lily when Martha Left ATWT in 2008

A 1982 SOD mentions that John Conboy wanted Margaret Mason for a role on the upcoming soap Capitol. I wonder what that role would have been.

[DRW50]

Tom Fuccello initially tried out for the part of Mark on Love is a Many Splendored Thing back when David Birney was cast. He kept on trying for the role until he was finally cast a few years later.

[John]

I bet It was either Myrna Clegg or maybe even Clarissa

Margaret & Connie Towers did have similar features

[John]

According to IMDB, Tom was the 5th Mark On LOve Is A Many Splendid Thing From 1972-73

Lynn Benesch tried out for DAYS Linda Anderson, and although she felt she did well, they gave the role to Elaine Princi.

[John]

Should never have made Madame X-Linda Anderson

[DRW50]

Before OLTL cast Fia Porter as Audrey Ames, she tried out for Didi O'Neill and Christine Cromwell (I think she would have been good as Christine...wonder why that didn't happen).

[John]

Who was Audrey Ames

Julia Roberts Auditioned For Linda Warner On AMC in 1984 and for Kelly Capwell On SB in 1988

Days Told Kevin Costner he wasnt Sexy enough

GH told the same To Sharon Stone

Brandon Routh auditioned for Al on OLTL and they created Seth for him instead but replaced him a year later

Bree Williamson auditioned for Jen on OLTL but was not cast cause she looked like Erin Torpey (Then jessica)

johnny Depp told Sarah Aldrich when she worked on The Brave with him, that he auditioned for a sop once and wanted it but didnt get it

[DRW50]

DAYS was right about Kevin Costner...

Audrey Ames worked on the soap within a soap, Fraternity Row. She dated manwhore Jon Russell, and was paralyzed for some months in the accident that also killed Alicia Grande and her baby.

[John]

Wasnt there also an actress character named Skye Spring & her & Megan sang the opening to the award show Faternity Row was up for?

SoapNet's So You Wanna Be a Soap Star Turned Down ATWT's Van Hansis (Luke). Hansis told SOD once that he was lined up with the other guys and told to remove shirts and was sent home for not being Buff

Ha Ha best revenge is 3 Emmy Nods

[DRW50]

Yes, she had a rival named Spring Skye.

Fia dated Giancarlo Esposito in real life. I found it odd that she was fired around the time she had a feature in SOD about their relationship and the pressures they faced.

[Paul Raven]

Sharon Schlarth (sp?) was Spring. What happens to these people? As she's ferrying her kids to sporting events,does she think back to OLTL and a life that didn't happen? Or is her life too busy as a millionaire businesswoman to look back??

[DRW50]

Sharon must still be trying to stay in the business, as her photos at IMDB seem fairly recent and look like the type of professional shots submitted to IMDB.
