Recasts

[DRW50]

Yes, India too, if they needed to recast.

Collins would have been good as Tangie too, although that was a nothing role.

[Chris B]

I actually like everything I've seen of Kelli Maroney as Tina. I would've liked to see what she could've done if she had a good amount of time in the role. Or maybe if she played Tina in the 90s.

[DRW50]

I think she would have been good instead of Krista. I'm glad they brought Andrea in for the 1985 run but Kelli would have been a big improvement over Krista in 1994.

While there can never be another Roger Thorpe, then and now I can't help but feel truly bad for Dennis Parlato. The guy truly believed he was a placeholder for a fellow P&G Soap Actor, only to find out later that he was a patsy in the soap press because no one knew what was going on with Michael Zaslow at first.

While I can't help but wonder what these scenes would have been with Zaslow, I tip my hat to Dennis Parlato for doing his absolute damndest to give the longtime GL viewers the closure they truly deserved.

[DRW50]

I agree. He did his best. He just wasn't Michael Zaslow. I'm sure it was an awful situation.

[John]

Wait Dennis thought he was just a temp & told truth later. P&G are bastards

[DRW50]

Is this the first Jeff Hartman?

[Bright Eyes]

Is this your opinion or did you paste it from somewhere because the list is automatically garbage having Bergman at the top.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Has to be their opinion, especially with Billy Miller and Daniel Cosgrove on the list. John Driscoll as Chance compared to child actors that played him??

[y&r_fan]

Penn Badgley was good but this kid still gives me nightmares.

[antmunoz]

So many on that list are negligible. Michael Dempsey? Frank Grillo? There were just...there.

[Quent]

Sorry, but two big no-nos on the list for me. Hunt Block's turning of Craig Montgomery from a complex, tortured character into a one-note cartoon is not my idea of great recasting. Similarly, Scott Holroyd made Paul Ryan into a many-layered son of Stenbeck, as opposed to Howarth, who had just two expresions during his whole run: The Blank Stare and The Blubbering Explosion.
