I think she could have passed - Susan Diol didn't look that much younger, and she was supposed to be a hardened, longtime con artist.

I do have to admit I kind of laughed when she went on in the interview about how even though she was in her late 30's, she could pass for her 20's, or even younger without makeup, and she just can't help that. Cat is and was beautiful but IMO she could NOT pass for her 20's by that time (this was 1993).

i would have loved to seen hickland as GL's mindy lewis! leave it to jfp to think she was all wrong for the role but instead gave us ann hamilton and barbara crampton who were BOTH 'wrong' for the role! the only recast role JFP ever got right on GL was liz kiefer as blake imo!!

In a January 81 SOD article,Allen Fawcett,then playing Kelly on EON said he had a 10 week holding option at Y&rR while they waited to see if a particular actor would depart.he didn't and Fawcett then tested for Edge.

I can't think of a role that Fawcett would have been right for at that time at Y&R.

Michael Brainard (ex-Joey, AMC) auditioned for David Rampal, which went to Trent Bushey: http://pinevalleybulletin.com/Features/InterviewBrainard.html

Michael was relieved to outlast Trent storwise and duration wise with the show. It was unfortunate that he was let go as Joey. He and Michael Knight had a wonderful chemistry, and he was quiet the looker when he showed up on Santa Barbara.

Bill Timoney (ex-Alfred, AMC) auditioned for many roles while an under-five, most notably Tad Martin and Wally McFadden: http://pinevalleybulletin.com/Features/InterviewTimoney.html

He used to be the fill-in for Matt Anton as Tad when the actor had school conflicts during rehearsal times.

and my dear Carmen Thomas-Paris actually auditioned for Ryan's Hope when AMC took her in. She never even came to NYC for an audition. She taped her screen test in Georgia.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
    • SO good!  I agree. Classic soap opera and it was a cliffhanger I've been craving for weeks now.  First time in a while that I can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
    • -- I was OK with the music. I think the first 5 minutes of the first episode spoiled us -- we really thought we were going to get "real music" a lot more often. Instead, we got some budget money for the opening scene, and that was it. -- I'd like music to be used more often, but I'll put that on production and not on the musicc supervisor. I think they've intentionally dialed down the music on this show. -- Editing? I still have major problems with it. This episode was SO good, but almost every fade to commercial was off or bad. I just don't get it. That, too, is intentional, but I have no idea what they're going for. It isn't working.
