I love Jaime but of what i've seen of her Laura in the 1990's she was one hot mess lol especially compared with what i heard of the Previous Lauras 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted July 19, 2022 Members Share Posted July 19, 2022 Floy Dean played her from 6/30/66-10/21/66 and Susan Flannery took over on 11/22/66. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 ONLY EVE BIRTHDAYS... Fun Fact: Abigail Klein (Stephanie) becomes the third "Days" contract actor to be born on Christmas Eve, joining Patrice Chanel (Gail Carson) and Mark Valley (Jack Deveraux). Two "Days" contract actors have New Year's Eve birthdays: Don Diamont (Carlo Forenza) and Margaret Mason (Linda Anderson). While there are five "Days" actors in total to have birthdays on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, no "Days" contract actors have ever been born on Christmas Day or New Year's Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 A question regarding Susan Oliver. How did viewers of the time regard her portrayal? She had big shoes to fill but was an accomplished actress. Signing her was quite a coup for Days as she was a respected primetime actress. What were the circumstances regarding her short stay? Was there negative viewer reaction or did Susan not adjust to daytime? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Sounds like she was out of money, the one year at Days helped fill her bank account, and then she asked to leave to work on a movie. Just found these for you: 10/3/75: Please register in order to view this content 2/13/76: 6/21/76: I also stumbled into this fun find when I was looking up Susan Oliver: THE FIRST "DAYS" CRITIC?? Vince Leonard, TV critic for The Pittsburgh Press who died in 2019, might have been the first ever TV critic hoping for the cancellation of "Days"...one week after it debuted! Here's his response to a fan, which appeared in the November 15, 1965 issue, who asked why "Moment of Truth" (the soap "Days" replaced) had been cancelled: Edited July 23, 2022 by JAS0N47 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 134 actresses tried out/were considered for the Laura recast? If we can get some names, that would be a fun addition to the They Almost Became thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 Thanks Jason for those articles. I wonder if Susan only agreed to a year in the first place? Maybe story wise they would have been better off biting the bullet and killing off Laura, leaving Bill a grieving widower, Kind hearted Maggie feels sorry for him and becomes a mother figure to Jennifer and they get closer. Jealous Mickey finds it difficult to handle... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 I didn't like Susan Oliver's Laura, even though I had liked her on other shows. I read somewhere that Tina Sloan was considered when Laura was being recast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted July 23, 2022 Members Share Posted July 23, 2022 I liked Jaime Lyn Bauer as Laura, but obviously it was a huge retooling of the character. They de-aged her by a decade, and her mental illness became her primary characteristic -- it would've been nice if they'd had a long-term goal of building her back into who the prior Laura(s) had been, but they basically just let her be "Jennifer and Mike's mom who spent many years in a sanitarium." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted July 26, 2022 Members Share Posted July 26, 2022 My favorite after Flannery was Susan Oliver, whom I accepted in the role instantly. Forsyth was okay, but JLB was a total and painful miscast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
