ALL: They Almost Became


Recommended Posts

I love Eva LaRue but trying to picture her as Rosanna is kind of out there. I wonder how Allison Sweeney would have worked as Victoria on Y&R.

A few that I know of I hadn't seen listed yet:

--Ashley Bashioum auditioned for the role of Marina after Aubrey Dollar left, only to lose out to Kit Paquin(!)

--Nicholas Coster and Quinn Reddeker were both tapped to play the role of Alistair Crane on Passions before David Bailey got it.

--Linda Dano was in talks for a role(Gloria?) on Y&R but didn't get it.

--Maree Chatham was considered for the role of Rachel on Passions before Sharon Wyatt got it.

For a long time I thought Paulina was created with Judi in mind. I guess if she auditioned for Vicky that can't be true.

So they considered recasting Amanda in 95 after Tucci was fired?

Wouldn't she have been too young?

Daniel Davis said he auditioned for Zachary Colton.

Krista Tesreau said in an SOD from the early 90s that she auditioned to play Gloria on AMC, and that it came down to her and another actress (Teresa Blake I assume). She said she was surprised she got that far because she didn't feel like she suited the role.

Frank Dicopolus's wife, Teja Anderson, auditioned to replace Krista as Mindy.

Richard Steinmetz and some other guy named Todd both auditioned to play Trucker, and were given other roles.

I don't really see her as Vicky either, but the choice for Amanda seems totally based on a passing resemblance to Tucci. Only role I could really see RS as was Jenna when Rena was younger, or maybe Cindy (?), the girl who was with Grant towards the end. If Rena cut her hair short too and just kind of let it rip, I could see her playing someone life that.

I think that Rena Sofer would be more suited for the part of a young Amanda and this has nothing to do with Christine Tucci. Amanda as a kid was always played by dark-haired girls and Sandra Ferguson was the first blonde Amanda Cory. AW had way too many young blonde actresses at the time and Sofer (who looks a little bit like Vicky Wyndham) would be a far more interesting choice, at least for me :)

Mila Kunis got a role on Sunset Beach, but choose That 70's Show (well, her agent did).

Anyone have any ideas what role it was for?

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
