GH: Role will be recast


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Maurice Benard (Sonny) confirmed at his event at the Treehouse Comedy Club in Connecticut that GH is planning to recast the role of Kate Howard. Megan Ward, who originated the role, is apparently OUT!

I guess they're taking the character into a "new direction", because why else would they replace Megan Ward?....Not that I'm complaining. I'm glad we won't have to watch her act on GH again!!

Didnt we already know that? Sucks bc I loved Megan Ward. I wonder if they will rewrite their rewrite and have Kate back as being Sonny's first love. Haha, doesnt bode well for Olivia either way. I do miss her bitch fights with MW's Kate. I have a feeling Tamara Braun will be brought in for this

I heard about this before but didn't see it confirmed true anywhere until now. SID keeps hearing that the show is in talks with Tamara so maybe it is her...

I could see her fitting the Bensonhurst background more fittingly than MW, and I also see her and Lisa LoCicero being awesome opposite each other as enemies.

IDA MW was perfect.; She fit what they wanted for the backstory of Kate. A Bensonhurst castoff who reinvented herself and was ashamed of her roots. One wouldnt think she grew up tehre by looking at her and thats bc that was the image she put out there. It worked for the role. Tamara is a bit too scrappy and rough for someone like Kate? Rebecca Budig? Girl, go sit your ass down somewhere. Another name Ive heard a few weeks ago was Gina Tognoni

Too bad about Megan Ward. Her Kate was the first romance of Sonny's that I enjoyed (at first anyway) since Brenda. I wouldn't mind Rebecca Budig as the new Kate. I have never understood the love for Tamara Braun. I did think that they would do an Olivia/Carly triangle with Sonny after Brenda left. This cannot be good for Olivia's future on the show.

The thought of Rebecca Budig intimate with Sonny is just too gross to imagine. Id rather her be Sarah Webber than Kate, who would obviously be paired with him. Besides, her playing Kate would be like her playing Greenlee all over agian. I dont want to see her smug, bossing around her employees and being a complete b-tch for no reason

I agree about that and she was great since she started the role, but it just got to be sickening once things ended with her and Sonny and she was always bitter making her life only about Crimson most of the time.

Yeah, I didn't even think about them putting RB with MB.

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.

      ️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs            
    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
