This is a Daytime TV. I don't have all of this issue.

I liked that photo too. I wasn't sure Marlena Laird was still with the show at that time.

Hilary Edson looked like Ellen Wheeler there.

Great body on Judith Chapman.

This channel has a number of clips. Here's Amy Vining doing her best pseudo-New Wave. She's not too awful really.

To me GH from 1994 thru maybe 1998 was the best and thats when i started watching. I would have given up when rena sofer left but those bastards at the helm managed to find sjb and i stuck with the show. Then they introduced chad brannon as zander. And now its been 20 years and while i dont think the show is as good as it used to be i am still holding on.

Nowadays becuz of the sexiest slimeball known as brad. As long as his antics happen on screen and not off screen im good with a pervy character

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

GH: Leslie Charleson as Monica.

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

Sometimes I think that not only is Budig not appropriate choice for Taylor age and vibe (more like a Bridget or a Katie if you ask me) wise... part of me can't accept her, because Krista Allen left a big mark. That woman just clicked right in... and I didn't see it coming. And that was a ROLE that was nearly impossible to recast. Hunter Tylo was universally known as Taylor. But then she stepped in and it just worked. She could make gold out of straw (dialogue) and gave Taylor this feeling of authenticity, sarcasm and wit... that was lacking in the late Hunter Tylo days (Tylo was only given unhinged material by that time... which was embarrassing). So a part of me will always reject Budig, because I'm still not recovered after getting our second Taylor snatched out like that. It's not fair to her (Budig)... but I can't change how I feel.

Was Hillary B. Smith quickly accepted by ATWT fans when she succeeded Margaret Colin as Margo? Or was there backlash?

Yep, and quickly let go after that. Bradley Bell style.
I was just thinking @DRW50 , since we were talking about Elaine Princi in the OLTL topic last week... Was she quickly accepted as Dorian back in the day?

Of Y&R's late 1980s big three recasts, I'd say Jess Walton was the most successful.

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.
