It's weird that she looks younger then Jeanne so I was shocked that Gisele is actually a year older.....her appearance as Katherine reminds me of the way she looked in the 70's. I have to wonder if she was wearing a wig....I guess Bill knew the response would be negative so he tried as hard as he could to make her look as "Jeanne-like" as possible........I give her an A for effort because I think she copied Jeanne as best as she could, but I kept thinking how much better Jeanne would have done, particularly the part where does the hand gestures and asks where "this......massage will take place".

Such an odd looking guy they cast for Sven.

Brenda looks FANTASTIC in that second clip!

I remember Russell Lawrence being very smarmy and unlikable, and that clip alone reinforces that. But he was very attractive even with the scruff!

It can't be said enough that every single temp actor/actress on "Passions" was so horrific that they made the usual actors and actresses there look like master thespians.

Anyone have any clips of William Russ as Tucker on Y&R? Also, was he fired because of behind the scenes issues or did they just feel that he wasn't right for the role?

So was Stephen Nichols CBS's first choice for Tucker then? I don't know how true this is, but I remember seeing on another board that Ron Raines was also a candidate for Tucker. Somehow I couldn't picture him as Jeanne Cooper's son.

The guy was too hot to handle! wub.png I'd love to see him again. I seem to remember he started only because they were waiting for RH to be available and take over the role. RH was very hot too and did wonders with the role. Many people take him for granted because he's always been good but we've got to admit that wonderful Carter Mills storyline would have not been as exciting without Rick Hearst in the role.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
