ALL: They Almost Became


Recommended Posts

Soap Central reported, in both December 2000 and January 2001 that Robin Christopher was "dropping anchor in Port Charles just in case Emmy-winner Brown decides not to renew her contract." Gina Tognoni was another name, per the January report, to take on the role of Carly. However, Christopher's involvement as a potential recast was never stated... just that she would be "dropping anchor" in Port Charles and, to me, that reads as Skye coming to town. And when it was announced in June 2001 she was joining General Hospital as Skye, the report stated: "Earlier this spring, you'll recall that Soap Central reported that Robin Christopher (Skye Chandler) was rumored to be a permanent addition to the General Hospital cast. Christopher, whose character has bobbed from All My Children and then to One Life to Live, was reported to have been tapped to provide a 'replacemen' for actress Sarah Brown (ex-Carly)." That, to me, reads as Skye coming to town as a Carly replacement. Not a recast of the role.

Billy Warlock said on SOD podcast before getting GH's AJ, he auditioned for Port Charles before they began filming

 

Billy said he cant remember who he auditioned with  but given his age, I bet he auditioned for Frank Scanlon that went to Jay Pickett

 

Billy also said that Blue Lagoons Christopher Atkins also auditioned for AJ  at the same time. SOD had reported back in 1997 that Judson Mills (Hutch, ATWT) also read for AJ

Before bringing Robin over as Skye to OLTL from AMC in 1999,  JFP considered casting Robin as Cassie. However the way JFP let the previous Cassie go and fear that ABC fans wouldnt see Robin as anyone but Skye, led them to bring Skye to Llanview

Wow, you're right, lol!

Ironically, I thought Christopher Atkins would have been a natural for soaps - but for Y&R or B&B, not for GH, lol.

She made the right choice in terms of longevity, but thankfully we still got Alexa Havins as Babe, who was a star. Who could she have been on OLTL? She said all the networks, so passing on DAYS during the Brash & Cwikly/Higley 1.0/JER 2.0 year was a smart choice. Couldn't even begin to guess who she could have ended up being on one of the CBS shows. I wonder why the shows wanted her so badly over seemingly anyone else from PC.

    • You could just say you didn't like the actress from Halloweentown without attacking looks.  Not cool
    • I thought the writers might have rewritten Josh's history (reason for going to Venezuela) and that Zimmer was remembering that. Since I was not watching during Reva's miscarriage story, I was not sure how that played out and I didn't want to say. I just knew Michelle Forbes would not have been on based on the dates of Larry Gates's Emmy win.  I also found it odd she didn't mention Forbes since she does mention nearly everyone else she had a major storyline with. 
    • I've noticed that actors frequently misremember storylines. They're not like viewers. Viewers are like elephants, we remember everything (or we think we do, LOL). She may genuinely have forgotten the details and chronological order of the story. However, it is extremely odd that she doesn't mention Forbes by name since they were in a hot storyline together as bitter rivals for two years. 
    • I went back to my ebook copy of Zimmer's book. She never mentions Michelle Forbes by name in her book.  She mentions the character of Sonni once in relation to giving a plot summary of Reva's connection to H.B. and how Larry Gates won the Emmy.  She says Josh left Reva to go be with Sonni in Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa. Michelle Forbes was not even on the show at this point. Is this an example of Zimmer getting her dates mixed up? Or was Josh's past rewritten and Zimmer is just going along with that?

    • I want to encourage everyone to go vote in the Sudsies! https://x.com/SudsMedia/status/1928963890752168176 Suds and Squared Circle Media @SudsMedia Sudsy Voting is now open! Go to http://suds-media.com/sudsyvoting to vote for the entire month of June! Off the top of my head one interesting example of creative nominating is that the entire cast of BTG is up for Best Soap Debut! (I hope I'm getting that category name correctly! I was confident but then, oy.) And, any Kraze fans they're up for Best Soap Couple! 
    • To each their own. The fashions on Y&R are questionable at best. 
    • I'm so happy that the four MSW tv movies are now on Tubi.. and I also think I saw the 12 seasons of the show on there as well.
    • Well he was cute. And we should be thankful the show has day players. It was a way of getting Dani to reveal her relationship to Andre, although not really necessary-unless he pops up again.   Harsh! I like Jacob a lot. But I think they need more depth, not just being the nice married couple with a social justice streak. As for Vern and Nita, I do find them a little overbearing at times with their posturing and entitled attitude.  And Uptown. This is where the lack of workplace sets is a problem. If more characters worked at the police staion, or Bill's office/Vanessa's etc  there would be more natural places for people to cross paths and  interact.
