Members Vee Posted July 5, 2013 Members Share Posted July 5, 2013 HBS was very desperate for Gregg Marx to get the role of the Sam Rappaport recast on OLTL in 2001. It went to Laurence Lau instead, who she loved as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 5, 2013 Members Share Posted July 5, 2013 Sam was a worthless role no matter who played it. It's too bad Marx wasn't hired in another role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted July 20, 2013 Members Share Posted July 20, 2013 Caroline McWilliams whp had soap roles on GL and AW in the early to mid 70's auditioned for "Ellen Tucker Shepherd" on "All My Children" in 1977. Caroline was told by producers she was too young for the role which ended up going to Kathleen Noone. McWilliams then landed on Soap & Benson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 In 1982, Kasi Lemmons who was a friend of Darnell Williams, had auditioned for AMC's Angie Baxter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted July 27, 2013 Members Share Posted July 27, 2013 I remember that the auditions for Kendall were actually taking place in late Summer of 2001, many months before the character would make it to screen in January 2002. Assuming it's around the same time, Bailess was probably up for the recast Marah Lewis on GL, replacing Laura Bell Bundy. (She certainly looks the part.) We know of course that role went to Lindsey McKeon, who debuted in November of 2001 - so the timing makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 27, 2013 Members Share Posted July 27, 2013 I never knew that about Caroline McWilliams. She wasn't right for Ellen, but AMC would have been smart to find some role for her. I didn't know Jessica was that close to Melissa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted August 11, 2013 Members Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Could it have been Snapper? Or am I way too early on when he was recast? Edited August 11, 2013 by Bright Eyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
