Members Chris B Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Certainly not who I (or anyone else I'm sure) expected! http://tvguide.ca/Soaps/Suds/Articles/101217_suds_report_NB This is very shocking since she hasn't done much acting since leaving GL. I know she mentioned wanting to return to acting when she returned for the final days of GL. I just didn't expect it to happen on Y&R. I can't tell the length of this role but I'm definitely excited. I thought she was very talented in a few episodes I've seen and seems like a popular and important part of GL in the 90s.

Members MichaelGL Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 And Y&R continues to masquerade as a turd with diamonds sprinkled on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 She would make a great Greenlee on All My Children. Rebecca Budig is too cold in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm shocked about this for many reasons, one of them being that Rauch didn't exactly do anything to keep her around when he joined GL. I'm glad that she is still working. I hope she might have one or two decent scenes, and won't be humiliated. That's about all I can hope for. This also helps to show how important it was that Ellen Wheeler brought back so many GL vets, even just in small roles, for the last months of the show. It helped remind the industry, or what's left of it, of their talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shadow Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I LOVE MH, yet I know Y&R will [!@#$%^&*] it up so I wont love her on Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 It is a shock for that reason alone, but maybe Rauch(Or B&E) did have it out for the Reardons, and it wasn't the actors per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 I think the character name guarantees it'll be short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 So now it's time for me to write in and ask them to hire Lisa Brown as the new Leslie Brooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Damn, might I have to actually have to turn into this dreck to see her? Oh, there's always YouTube edits I suppose. I loved me some Melissa Hayden/Bridget Reardon, too bad her character is likely to suck on Y&R...

Members DeeeDee Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Love her. Hate the casting stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 If it's an actual character then I don't think this is a stunt. She wasn't a Rauch favorite and I don't think is popular enough to be considering stunt casting. Her heyday is long gone. I'm sure she had to battle it out for this.

Members Gray Bunny Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 "Agnes." Hmm... I'm guessing she won't be one of the wealthy Genoa City denizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 What shocks me the most is she's actually a talented soap vet. Did they have another budget cut and weren't able to cast some of their ideals for this part, like, say, the third nurse in Temperatures Rising, or Cunilla Hutton, or Misty Rowe?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Melissa always had a very real and gritty acting appeal and look to her. You could easily believe her as a normal girl/woman that made some terrible mistakes. Tricia Cast is another one with a similar acting style. Daytime doesn't have enough actresses like that anymore.

Members Sylph Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 But is there really much to see when you know all to well how they've treated the rest of similar actors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
