ALL: They Almost Became

I doubt it, since she had a British accent, but it would have been fun.

That could have been Angela Raymond who they considered Hutchinson for. She was introduced around that time.

Or maybe a recast for Flame? I think Roberta Bizeau left around this time and we got stuck with that Marguerite person for a couple months.

Those would have made more sense for FH.

Hey so u know how GH had a month of Camilla Moore as Anna. There is Video in the recasts thread. I wonder If Fiona Hutchison woulda been more convincing as Anna Devane over CM?

[Khan]

Fiona Hutchison would've been much better off as a "kid sister" for Anna or Holly.

Jennifer Lien who was cast as Hannah on AW originally tested for Vicky/Marley but was told she presented as too young.

When Melissa Reeves went on maternity leave in 1992, DAYS asked Cali Timmons to replace her. Due to an unhappy experience on AW, and Melissa's popularity with viewers, Cali turned them down. DAYS ultimately decided to just write Jennifer out during that time.

Julia Roberts Auditioned for Santa Barbara three times. First in 1984 for Jade Perkins-Melissa Reeves got that part and then again in 1986 for Hayley, Stacy Edwards was cast & finally in 1988 When Robin wright left as Kelly. Kimberly McArthur was cast as Kelly

As for GH & Elizabeth Berkley. In 1992 she read for both Karen wexler, Cari Shayne got Karen & Brenda Barrett which VMG got

Allyson Rice Taylor auditioned for ATWT's Frannie in 1989. This got her cast the next year as Connor Walsh.

[DRW50]

When Passions was doing its early casting, Kimberly Simms auditioned for a role (not sure which one).

[BingCherry]

The only two roles I could have seen her playing would have been Grace or Ivy.

[DRW50]

She might have been fun as Ivy (although Kim Ulrich was great). She would have been a better Grace than Dana Sparks.

May 2001 Update. Actors in the running to play Colin on DAYS. Ingo Rademacher, Frank Grillo, Matt Crane, Brian Krause.

An October 1995 Update mentions that a tabloid ran a false story about Sophia Loren joining B&B. This was denied, but then her people told B&B that there was a chance she COULD appear on the show.

[John]

I could see Ingo as Colin but the others would have been miscast. JMO

In 1999 when OLTL was in talks with Robin Christopher, JFP originally wanted her as a recast for Cassie but was told that 1) that would be a hard sell cause of the way JFP dismissed Laura Koffman (Cassie) from the show & 2) that Robin's AMC character Skye would make it difficult for fans to see her on an ABC show as a new character as RC did play a lawyer on GH in 1993 named Abby but it failed. So JFP decided RC would come over to OLTL as her AMC character, Skye.

No wonder Skye felt so shoehorned in.

I can't imagine her as Cassie either.
