Christine Tudor auditioned for GH's Alexandria Quartermaine.

James Goodwin tested for AMC's Craig Lawson and OLTL's Andrew Carpenter.

Kate Collins as Mindy on GL in 1993. Kate Collins also auditioned for GH not sure what role though

Brant Daugherty (Brian, DOOL) auditioned for Will. Chandler Massey got the role.

Kate Collins as Mindy, whoa. She was young enough but seemed significantly older.

I think KC woulds been good

If it was around the same time, maybe it was for Katherine Bell? I could see KC nailing that role.

See I thought KC left AMC to move to Chi-town so this testing for GL and GH surprised me

Not sure if this is on here, but Andrew Kavoit (Paul Ryan, ATWT; 1986-1992) almost was cast as Stone Cates on GH in 1993.

In 1990, SOU asked Tracey Bregman what her biggest career regret was. She said that when Genie Francis left GH (in 1981), Gloria Monty asked her to take over - I'm not sure if she meant as Laura or as a lead female (probably the latter). She said she was doing a movie, and she also knew Genie and knew how she'd been worked too hard, so she declined. She said that while it worked out for her, career-wise, she wished she could go back and take the offer.

I think GH was considering recasting Laura back in 1982 cause Catherine Hickland also announced once she auditioned to play Laura. When they didnt recast, CH got to play Blackie's tutor for small bit

When Rachel Miner was auditioning for roles as a little girl, she would see Erin Torpey so many times that they became friends. Rachel auditioned for GL, as Michelle, at the same time as she heard that OLTL was aging Jessica. Her father worked for OLTL or ABC, so she couldn't audition, but she told Erin about it. Erin auditioned and was cast.

Tonya Crowe who played Abby's daughter Olivia on KL auditioned for GH's Lois when originally cast in 1993 and Rena Sofer got the role.

Thank God. I've heard that the OL fans absolutely loved Erin Torpey as Jessica and Rachel Miner was the only Michelle Bauer I actually liked.

Anna Stuart tested for the role of Jessica on Generations when she left AW in 88.They felt she was too strongly identified as Donna Love and she eventually returned to that role.

How interesting.

Like, on one hand I cant even imagine it and on the other, i totally can.

In 2002 both Marshall Hilliard & Dalton James read for AMC's Del Henry but AMC later decided it wasnt the right time to bring back Del
