I think Tamara is surprisingly good for a "temp" recast in her very first scene.

I think we judge her now through the lens of her work since then. At the time, IMO, it was like a little girl playing dress-up as "Carly".

Bianca but being drawn to Zach, i would love to see a story like that - or reversed with a straight person falling for someone of the same sex - but thats not a story American soaps are able to take the time to craft and tell it seems.

that sounds like pretty much what they did with Marissa

Sofia Landon Geier as Donna Love (she's in a few clips after this too)

I thought he was a temp mostly because they had to recast in a hurry and wrote him out in a hurry.

Fitzpatrick was fired right after some sort of controversy and accusations involving a waitress at Planet Hollywood, I think.

That was SFT/ Maree Cheatam was fired as Stephanie. Louise Shaffer was brought in to wrap up the role but stayed for nearly two years

She discusses it here

She looks more like a Rachel recast than a Donna

Some of Joel Fabiani's 1995 temp return as Roger.

Richard Council as a temp Hal recast. I'd never seen him. He's OK, not that good. Don't like the Supercuts hair. I wonder what happened with Ben. Looks like he was in at least two episodes.

A temp Gwyn recast. Which actress is this again? This is soon after Christine Tudor's return.

anyone have Leslie Denniston as Gwyn?

Actually, Tatum stepped in sometime around Tudor's first exit. I can't remember if she was a stop-gap temp between Tudor and Elizabeth Savage (or if Tudor was sidelined and came back to wrap up). But I do recall for sure that she was definitely before Savage took over as Gwen.

This must have been a later appearance. Someone who commented on the video said December 1990.

In terms of clip order (they've been uploaded chronologically), it seems to be fairly soon after Tudor returned, although for some reason I thought she returned in 1991.

You're right, Tudor did return in 1991. Marianne Tatum's temp stint as Gwen was in 1989. Whoever made the comment about December of 1990 is just incorrect about the date of the clip (especially since Savage was playing the role at that time). I guess the clips might not be uploaded as chronologically as they think they are. ;-)

The December 1990 date doesn't make sense. Gwyn mentions Rick in this clip and that he's going away. According to an article I saw online, Rick (as played by Brian Fitzpatrick) was murdered in July 1990.
