Members Vee Posted October 10, 2023 Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 I've been wondering that myself. This was in fall '03, deep in Malone's mad second run. Flash/Sarah, possibly? But she would've been aged up slightly from Shanelle Workman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted October 11, 2023 Members Share Posted October 11, 2023 I agree: I honestly could not have seen Kelly Monaco as Babe or as Bobbie Eakes' daughter. At all. According to Soapcentral.com, she was up for the role of Nikki Munson on As the World Turns, but she passed because she wanted to stay on the west coast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted October 12, 2023 Members Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Nikki probably would’ve lasted longer and a major character on the show if KeMo accepted the role. She also looks like Jordana Brewster Edited October 12, 2023 by cassadine1991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted October 13, 2023 Members Share Posted October 13, 2023 From the 90210 universe: In 1994, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen auditioned for a role on "Models, Inc." before she landed the part of Valerie Malone on "Beverly Hills, 90210". https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-09-04-tv-34509-story.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 16 Members Share Posted February 16 (edited) Watching an old Denise Pence video from a decade ago and I had forgotten she mentioned auditioning as Jackie Marler. They decided she was too young but created Katie for her. (this is for Guiding Light, of course) Edited February 16 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 24 Members Share Posted February 24 I was going back and reading this thread and saw this. Personally I think Kirsten Alderson has the spark and experience to make Summer interesting with the writing being the way it is on Y&R. I'm shocked they auditioned experienced soap actors, two Emmy winners and went with a newcomer. The actress in the role is fine, but incredibly bland and as a result the character has gone from a lead to an expendable supporting character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted February 24 Members Share Posted February 24 I don’t think Lanier is bland at all as an actress rather it is Griffith’s writing that made the character bland. Lanier’s first year completely revitalized a once dead end character and made the character more mature, edgier, and bitchier, but apparently that was too much drama for Griffith to handle so he regressed the character back to a weeping whiner like Hunter King played. We were flat out robbed of AL having a rivalry with ZS. Lanier is fine in this role, if the show could use her correctly, especially given AL had shown to be formidable towards ZS, SW, and CH while eating Stafford alive. Given Y&R’s track record, “Experienced Emmy winners” there’s a high chance Alderson and Ainsworth both would have been DOA flops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted February 25 Members Share Posted February 25 I concur, and, at this point, feel Allison Lanier is wasted at The Young and the Restless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 25 Members Share Posted March 25 Hat tip to @Soapsuds Keith Coulouris auditioned for Chris Hughes on ATWT (that went to Ben Jorgensen). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 26 Members Share Posted March 26 I remember people praising this girl to the high heavens a year or two ago. It's a pity she's too young for say, Lulu on GH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 26 Members Share Posted March 26 Had they not aged Lulu she would've been age appropriate. Lulu was introduced in 1994, and Lanier was born in 1990. And, technically, her birth year was retconned to 1988, so Lanier is only two-years younger than that. Both Berman & Rylan were meant to be playing younger than they are in-real-life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
