I thought the original casting of the show was perfection. Even though a few actors came across as green in the beginning, they all had a certain "je ne said quoi," a certain star appeal. And they all grew into their roles quite nicely.

Of the original actors that were the Brooks/Foster children, did you think any of them had primetime potential?

James Houghton was part of the original cast of Knots Landing and had a short arc on The Colbys. Brenda Dickson in between her two runs was a guest star on Falcon Crest. Jaime Lyn Bauer got a short-lived primetime soap Bare Essence and made the guest star rounds (Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Hotel, Knots Landing) before returning to daytime on Days.

William Gray Epsy remained on daytime (Another World) with some guest starring roles in between his daytime stints. Janice Lynde also remained on daytime (Another World, One Life to Life) with some guest starring roles before and after her daytime stints.

Trish Stewart and Pamela Peters had some guest starring roles and that was it.

Trish also had Salvage 1, which only lasted a season.

@DRW50 Thanks for the info.
