Members Paul Raven Posted April 5, 2020 Members Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) On GL, Frank Grillo tested for Zachary before landing the part of Hart Jessup. Shari Shattuck was in talks for Ashley on Y&R when Eileen Davidson left but decided she didn't want to commit to a contract role so never screen tested. When Brenda Epperson left the role her circumstances had changed and she tested and landed the role of Ashley,.

Members Khan Posted April 10, 2020 Members Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not to take anything away from the legendary Miss Mary Stuart, but...we coulda had "Baby June" as Meta Bauer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 11, 2020 Members Share Posted April 11, 2020 Andrea Moar (Carrie Sanders AMC) tested for the role of Kim on RH a full year before landing AMC. ABC liked her so much they put her on option which meant a salary while they looked for roles for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darcy Posted April 11, 2020 Members Share Posted April 11, 2020 Jennifer Aniston was on Jimmy Kimmel this month and told the story of how she found her first audition tape on Betamax. She was 13 years old and she auditioned for the part of TR, a 13 year old runaway on Search For Tomorrow, which her father starred on at the time. She said he would not have approved of her being on the show and that she lost the role to Jane Krakowski. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OzFrog Posted April 13, 2020 Members Share Posted April 13, 2020 That would have been fascinating to watch, especially considering John Aniston’s character was a father figure to TR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) In 1999, Kirsten Storms auditioned for Days' Belle & B&B's Bridget. Days learned about the B& B audition so they quickly signed her as DOOL's Belle https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/tbt-kirsten-storms/ Edited April 25, 2020 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 I can't picture Kirsten Storms on a Bell soap...even if that Valley girl talk of her's would actually work being Brooke's daughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 18, 2020 Members Share Posted May 18, 2020 Damn. We could've had Bryan Cranston instead of bland Scott Holmes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
