I'm surprised John Conboy didn't snap him up, lol!

Gregory Harrison would've been an interesting choice for a Greg recast. I think he would've fit in well, both with the Y&R of the '70's, and with the '80's, too.

And for sure, if James Houghton had stuck around, he might've looked fantastic next to MTS, although I think a big problem with him, both on Y&R and away from it, was an inability to connect with most of his female co-stars.

Executive Predator uh I mean Executive Producer Conboy would have staged scenes of Greg always at the pool or running around in short shorts if he had hired Spitz.....LOL

Houghton really was kind of aloof with co-stars. He could also come across as bitchy/sarcastic.

I don't think anyone on Planet Earth would've made Greg Foster stand out. The character was just a dullard from Day One.

In hindsight, Bill Bell could've just had two kids in the Foster house (Snapper & Jill) and saved his money by omitting Greg entirely. Greg's "legacy" on the show was basically just marrying Nikki (who doesn't even seem to remember him.)

They should have written Greg kind of a 70's bad boy like they eventually did with Terry Lester's Jack in the 80's.

LOL at Nikki not remembering Greg. Nikki doesn't think it is important to dwell on silly things like old forgotten husbands.
