I wasn't going to post on this thread, but I needed to correct a little bit of revisionist history. Thorne No. 1 (Clayton Norcross) was horrible in the role. Outside of Charity Rahmer (Belle, DAYS) and John Howard (Paul Ryan 1996 version, ATWT), I've never seen a weaker performer. Jeff Trachta was talented (fans picketed when he was let go), but he did have a lack of chemistry with Macy. If I' m not mistakaen, Norcross was the first "regular" to be let go from B&B.

Dave Reed was gone before Thorne #1.

Marla Adams was too glamourous for Beth, but I didn't care. I just loved watching her :)

As for Thorne being gay, I was 11 years old when B&B started airing here in Greece and all kids said that Thorne must secretly be gay lol

Too bad that I still haven't gotten used to the horrible names Stephanie picked up for her boys.

I think that Sean Kanan's AJ going on to become a boxer may be a "which came first, chicken or egg" thing... But if that were a reason to recast, it was certainly a dumb reason: Gerald Hopkins wasn't exactly an out-of-shape troll. He was an extremely well-built, good looking guy.

I'm actually quite certain that Gerald Hopkins played the beginning of that storyline.

That's cool... I was just saying that even if that's the case, it ("it" being, "let's make him a boxer") was a dumb reason to recast with an actor who, by all accounts, really wasn't as good as his predecessor.

Phil MacGregor went on to Loving. He originated the role of Linc Beecham but was replaced by Brian Robert Taylor who had been the first Tyler on Capitol before being replaced by Dane Witherspoon who had been the first Joe on Santa Barbara before being replaced by Mark Arnold who had replaced Joey Alan Phipps as Kelly on Edge of Night!!

....and eventually went on to replace Ted Marcoux as Rob Coronal on One Life to Live. ;)

Who is this woman playing Quint's amorous student? She reminds me of Susan Walters. She's a bad actress though...

This is the first version of the character, played by Fiona Hutchinson.
