Ooh, I LOVED Elizabeth Savage as Gwyn. While that role will always belong to Christine Tudor Newman, I remember really liking Savage's take on the part.

And I never knew that Roya Megnot returned to Loving to pinch hit for Lisa Peluso. Somehow, I don't think that would have worked, considering how much the character changed when Peluso began playing her.

I remember when Roya filled in for Lisa. It was about 3 months,March-May 1990(Lisa replaced Roya in October,1988). Never heard the reason why she left for 3 months. Roya came in and seemed to pick up right where she left off and played Ava like she did before,IMO. Randy Mantooth had already left by this point and Robert Dubac had taken over as Alex. One day it was Roya and I remember the next day(around late May)Lisa was back as Ava.

Can anyone make out the name of the woman who temporarily took over for Helen Wagner as Nancy around ATWT's 1988 Christmas episodes? I can't quite hear it. I guess they didn't want to have Nancy absent for the holiday but it's so strange to see someone else as Nancy.

Betty Runnel. I could make out Betty, then I cross referenced. I couldn't find anything else about her online, not even an IMDb/IBDB/ITDB entry, maybe she worked under another name, was solidly off-off-Broadway, or even some crew member's aunt.

I believe the actress who filled in for Helen Wagner in 1988 was credited then as Betty Low.

Her RH episodes from 9/81 might be on Soapnet before too long, I guess we can check.

Thanks, both of you. I could not make out her name, well, aside from Betty. I thought it was Betty Powell or Betty Lowell or Betty Rowell, I don't know. It's just so strange seeing this random woman as Nancy. I kept remembering something about this to put in this thread but couldn't remember who the character was and then suddenly I did.

For a while I thought she was one of the Clara Hudsons but obviously not.

So did she only take over for Helen Wagner for a few days?

I think might have been for a few weeks,as her name showed up in the credits at one point.

I do not know if has been brought up, but Sandra Ferguson was Brooke on B&B, a temp brooke but almost perm because KKL was in contract talks and on mat leave.

SOS: Eventually you did return to daytime in quite a few roles actually. The first was as replacement Brooke Logan on The Bold & the Beautiful. How did that come about?

SR: Charles Grant, who played Evan on Another World, was working on B&B at the time and was a love interest of Katherine Kelly Lang's Brooke. She had been unhappy there for awhile and said she wanted to leave. Then she went on her pregnancy leave and to cover their butts in case she didn't come back, they signed me to her maternity leave and [in addition] they had me sign a three year contract that stated if she did not come back by x date my contract would kick.

Surprisingly, the fans were really great about that. Charles, I think, is the one who brought me to the Bells' attention. So working with him again was fun and the time went by quickly. It was the eighth hour of the ninth day when I was leaving and I thought, "Am I coming back tomorrow?" I had one foot out the door when someone told me that she was coming back tomorrow. It was that close. It was a wonderful show to work for. You work from 9 to 5. It's a beautiful set and a fantastic cast. It was the most pleasant experience I had in daytime, working on a Bell show. They treat their people very well. It is a great environment.

WOW - never knew that.

Funny thing is, a recast could have actually worked since the show was sooooo Brooke-centric back in 1997.

That said, Ferguson was ok as Brooke (they reduced Brooke'S screentime and it lasted only three months or so) but she seemed rather insecure as a mother to Rick and Bridget. As if Sandra Ferguson were firghtened of the child actors. LOL

Here's Jason Kincaid, the Tom between Justin Deas and Gregg Marx, in this clip with Maggie Crawford, Lyla's sister/Margo's aunt. Apparently he only lasted from August to December 1984. Was he just a fill in or was he meant to last but viewers didn't take to him or the show didn't? It's hard to go only on one episode but I have to admit he's kind of underwhelming.

Here's Kincaid's Tom with Margo. The writing is probably to blame too but it just seems odd, especially the last scene.

No Jason Kincaid was not a Temp, he was a recast that tanked.

Help me out, but I remember Kelli Maroney of Ryans Hope and Marsha Clark of Guiding Light temping for AE or KW as Tina on OLTL

And didnt Chris Beetem just Temp for Tyler Christopher last year?

They were for AE, but it's always been my understanding that they were actual recasts. I think MC was in the role for the shortest period of time.

I believe Kincaid had just come off a role as Sam Brady on AMC, Opal bf. They probably wanted capitalize on whatever popularity he'd attained on AMC, which was a much more high profile show at the time.

That's interesting. He does seem like more of a fit on AMC.

OLTL brought Tina back in August,1984 with Kelli Maroney in the role(Andrea Evans was either still on Y&R at the time or not interested in returning). After about 4 months,Kelli left and rumor has it that she asked to be let out of her contract due to problems with Paul Rauch. Marsha Clark was brought in sometime around November/December 1984 as a temporary replacement until they found a permanent new Tina. She filled in until Jan/Feb 1985,when Andrea Evans reclaimed the role.

Can't imagine why they would cast Marsha Clark as Tina,even for a short time.

Lois Robbins(ex Concetta RH) replaced Lisa Brown as Iva on ATWT in 1991
