Y&R.......Brian Forbes Ashley Abbotts first love interest circa 1982-83 that disappeared by going to make a phone call and never came back. In the 90's a mustached/dark haired Grant Kramer (who had previously played crazy blonde Shawn Garrett) came on as Adam Hunter. He was Ashley's new lab partner/potential love interest (like Brian had been years before). I think they only showed Adam maybe 3 or 4 times and he disappeared. Then came the ill-fated Kurt Costner (Leigh McCloskey).
B&B........Jessica Forrester. I don't think she went over all that well.
ATWT.....Brad Hollister and a bunch of those other characters the Dobsons introduced when they took over the writing in 1980. It was similar to when all those sucky characters that arrived in the mid 90's.
GL......Jennifer (Geraldine Court) That character was blah......along with several other characters that Marland created. Marland was excellent at ATWT but GL was hit or miss. At ATWT he loved to dive into the history of the show. At GL he couldn't be bothered much with character's he didn't create.
Dallas.......Mitch Cooper (Leigh McCloskey). Nothing against McCloskey, but he always acted/spoke in an affected manner like he was doing Shakespeare no matter what role he is playing. There's a Princeton/Harvard quality to him as if TV was slumming.
KL...Kenny & Ginger Ward. The writers had 4 seasons to come up with something, but couldn't figure out what to do with them.
