LMAO!

Sharon Gabet as Margo or a fill-in Barbara might have been fun to watch...but I feel she'd been better as a recast and back-in-Oakdale Natalie Bannon Hughes.

Guy Wilson said in an interview that he auditioned for Sonny Kiriakis back in 2011, and was in the running for the role but didn't get it due to his resemblance to Chandler Massey

His 2014 casting was kept under wraps, not letting anyone know and even Freddie didn't know Guy was reading for Will

On SoapBox with Lilly & Martha today Michael Bruno said that for Adam Newman Y&R had feelers out to Tom Welling (Smallville), Jason Lewis (Sex & The City) & Gale Harold (Queer as Folk)

When asked how that would fly given that two of them (Gale & Jason) are too old (45/43), Bruno says YR would have done a throw away line about him looking older after all he has been thru

Bruno states that YR wants fallen prime time actors for their roles and its been hard on their Casting Judy Wilson to make it happen sometimes

Bruno says Hartley was a great choice but maintains that YR always were thinking well if we need to we can bring back Muhney if we just give it more time

I could be wrong, but I believe that they believe that these actors have built-in fan bases who will help boost ratings for the show and bring a new cache of respectability and legitimacy to the show and to the genre itself.

Because, as we all know, people who watch soap operas never, ever watch anything else, and vice-versa. Right? Right? Of course I'm right.

;)

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher. 
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
