Looks boring. The mob stuff wasnt much better in the mid 90s either. I hated the Sonny, Luke and Frank Smith crap

There are a boatload of Duke/Anna clips and full episodes on Youtube. This has his first scene with Anna and the clips go on from there.

That last photo is a trip. It's too bad the show never brought any of those early 70s/late 60s nurses and doctors back.

I was having a debate with someone the other day about Lynn Herring. I still don't think there is any actress on daytime (or has been since her) that was able to play sensuality/sexuality as well as she did. I found the clip that perfectly describes how great she was at playing the vixen/sexpot and why IMO all others have pretty much paled in comparison.

FF to 6:58 and watch the rest of the clip. There is not a single person in daytime now that I think could have done that scene as well and as effectively as Lynn:

I think people forget that because she became so comical later on.

Lenore Kasdorf was pretty good at it, along with Melanie Smith.

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

She did.

Same.

Let me add Alexia Havins's Lulu on GH, Mark Valley's Jack on DAYS I believe was quickly accepted, Nathan Fillon's Joey on OLTL if I'm not mistaken as well.

Good choices. I almost chose Carrington but thought the Kelly in between Robin Wright and Carrington might be seen as a buffer (similar to when Anne Heche joined AW after that short-lived Rhonda Vicky). I give Carrington a lot of credit as she really did manage to make Kelly her own and generate her own chemistry with Kelly's loved ones.

Speaking of Peter Bergman, and going way back, I think - surprisingly - Bergman's Y&R predecessor, Terry Lester, was quickly accepted as Mason Capwell on Santa Barbara. Ditto Lester's replacement, Gordon Thomson. I think it helped that Nancy Lee Grahn's Julia generated chemistry with all three Masons. At least, I don't recall much hate in the soap magazines back in the day, even if many would still agree that Lane Davies was still the quintessential Mason Capwell.
Speaking of SB, Jed Allan, Carrington Garland, and Robin Mattson all seemed to be embraced by the audience upon taking over the roles of C.C., Kelly, and Gina, respectively.

I'd never heard of her almost doing a show with Melanie Griffith. Hard to imagine Melanie on a sitcom.
Betty was also in the very short-lived second season of Bob, Bob Newhart's ill-fated early '90s sitcom.

I don't think so, because once Marland left, he was mostly front burner until he left the show the first time, in early 1984.
Nah, I think Marland just painted himself in a corner. He decided to go the redemption/happily married route for Alan and it diminished his usefulness on the canvas. Maybe he had a story planned to shake that up that didn't get a chance to happen. For instance, Rita hitting town with a kid, which would have blown up both Alan/Hope and Ed/Maureen.

That's a good choice, especially as he initially tried to emulate Terry but then slowly made the part his own.
I wonder if Jess Walton could go on the list too.

I'm not sure what they call those storms in the Mediterranean, but that's where the storm was. Mark and Amanda go there, and Mark is washed overboard and feared dead.
They had a very deadly storm in Spain last year that caused severe flooding inland, which you don't really think would happen.

Except he turned Jack into a wimp with all his crying all the time.

While I agree it's a bit of a head scratcher, and I'm sure the conclusion would've been different had Marland stayed, it gives Amanda and Vanessa something to sink their teeth into.
I wonder if it also wasn't a way to cut back Chris Bernau's workload. We don't know how his health was at the time.
