Members Wendy Posted August 29, 2020 Members Share Posted August 29, 2020 All I remember about Sonia Satra was she seemed like Kristina Wagner lite, complete with the sort-of baby voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 29, 2020 Members Share Posted August 29, 2020 Peter Bergman mentioned in a podcast that Y&R tested six actors for Jack before he was cast. I know two of them were Mark Pinter and Jeff Trachta, and a third may have been Jon Lindstrom. Any ideas of who the other three were? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted August 29, 2020 Members Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Not sure who the other three were, but in my search to find out, I discovered that Terry Lester audition to replace Bill Espy as Snapper Foster in 1975. When he lost the role to David H, he swore off soaps, apparently John Conboy tried to get him in for other roles, until he finally said yes to Jack Abbott in 1980.

Members Franko Posted September 19, 2020 Members Share Posted September 19, 2020 Oh, I dunno, I'm sure he would have made a fine bit player on any of the New York soaps during his theater years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 20, 2020 Members Share Posted September 20, 2020 Yeah, Jason Alexander would've made a good recurring comic character on AMC or OLTL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 16, 2020 Members Share Posted October 16, 2020 Anna Stuart mentioned in a recent interview for Retro TV that the role of Toni Ferra on The Doctors came down to three actresses. One was Adrienne Barbeau, later of Maude fame. The other was Jennifer Darling, who went on to a recurring role on Eight is Enough, as well as a prolific voiceover career (particularly in anime). Of course, Anna Stuart won the role and played Toni Ferra Powers from February 1971 to September 1976. P.S. Jennifer Darling's then-husband, Paul Henry Itkin, joined TD in early 1972 as Dr. Vito McCray - Toni's lecherous ex-boyfriend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
