Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2014 Members Share Posted January 19, 2014 Does anyone know if Marguerite Hickey stood in for Margaret Klenck as Edwina on OLTL in 1982? I know she filled in for Roberta Bizeau on Santa Barbara. She looks a lot like Klenck, and I was just reading that she was temporarily replaced in 82. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) GH: Rachel Ames took an extended leave in 1971 when she had to be put on bed-rest during her pregnancy. Maura McGiveney played Audrey while Ames was gone. Edited February 3, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think it's pretty amazing that so many consistently front burner characters NEVER were portrayed by temporary replacements. I guess we have impeccable immune systems and artful scheduling to thank for that. Did Don Hastings ever have a temp replacement? I don't think the most famous longtime senior AMC cast members ever did, which is pretty remarkable, particularly for Susan who wasn't of advanced age by show's end and continued to push A plots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Well AMC almost recasted Erica with Lisa Peluso when SL was ill during her Annie get the gun but didnt Its funny most temps I ve seen last a few days to weeks/months. ABC hardly ever temp recasts for a day that I can remember. I do remember the dude from Sunset Beach as Ric for one day on GH. It was at the Police station andif it wasnt for the VO, I wouldnt have realized he was there as Ric I think most shows now temp if its important to story Some shows even tape with temps and never use them (Alicia Leigh Willis as Days Chole) But back in the 70s it looked like they did a lot especially on Ryans Hope. There were a lot of temps there for a day and RH would announce it during the opening sequence Edited February 5, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, I remember that bit about Lisa but I don't think they'd have had the balls to do it. Lisa is considerably younger than Susan. I used to think Anna Stuart would be a good Erica temp back when she was on AW before she played Mary. I think I've mentioned this on SON before, maybe it was on WoST, but I had tickets to see Susan in AGYG right before my Christmas break in college in '99. We got to the theatre box office and saw that an understudy would be going on. My lady friend who bought the tickets got her money back and I got on the Greyhound to spend Christmas with my family. A bummer missing Susan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 That sucks SFK! I want to see ALW as Chloe! I wish those scenes would leak somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I guess the most high-profile character to have temp recasts would be Viki Riley and Katherine Chancellor, then Jessie Brewer. (and then as years passed the shows were increasingly reluctant to recast high profile roles even briefly) Edited February 5, 2014 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 12, 2014 Members Share Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone see any of the temp Jessie on GH in the 70's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 1, 2014 Members Share Posted April 1, 2014 In spring or summer 1972, OLTL's Patricia Roe (Eileen Seigel) had to care for her ill mother. Frances Sternhagen filled in for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted April 1, 2014 Members Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Id love to see that Edited April 1, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted April 6, 2014 Members Share Posted April 6, 2014 I had never known that Frances Sternhagen was a temporary recast as Eileen. I had thought that she was cast in the role. (Also, Frances Sternhagen returned to One Life to Live later as a judge, and I remember thinking that she had played Eileen in the past.) Both Mike Karr and Nancy Pollock Karr on The Edge of Night had replacements. Jeffrey Lynn played Mike. Susan Brown and Frances Helm both played Nancy at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted April 6, 2014 Members Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Something similar happened to me once, with a future soap actor being the understudy. Back in 1980, my sister and I got tickets to go see David Bowie as The Elephant Man on Broadway. We went for the specific reason of seeing Bowie in the role. Well, he was out sick that day so we ended up seeing the understudy. I'd never heard of the actor before but he did well in the role and I always remembered his name, then heard about him again when he was on a soap, albeit one that I never ended up watching. The actor was Benjamin Hendrickson. Edited April 6, 2014 by applcin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
