I would have to add Jaime Lyn Bauer as Laura Horton.JLB had created an iconic role as Lorie Brooks and there was none of that in the writing for Laura.At the same time,her Laura in no way resembled Susan Flannery or Rosemary Forsyth. JLB would have been more suited to Kate.

Also John Ingle as Mickey WTF??

mary Beth Evans Was Originally cast but turned it down to do contract status at ATWT. I Think MBE was supposed to start filming like in a day or 3, So KB was a quick Find. KB actually left OLTL to return To Y&R and then we got Cady Huffman who was too sweet and then Alexandra Neil in like her third or fourth oLTL role and she was bad

How awesome would it have been for DAYS to have "borrowed" the character of Lorie Brooks from Y&R? I'm just saying.

Please don't get me started on John Ingle in any role. He might be a fantastic person to know in real life, but he's simply incapable of playing any complex character.

In the "old days," soaps would have cut their losses long before Paige Recast #4 and dropped whatever plans they had for the character. It was clear, though, no one at the network was listening to what fans were saying.

Well, I won't go that far, lol, but he did cross my mind when someone mentioned Jed Allen as Edward in this thread. JI seems like a pussycat compared to David Lewis who had a certain strength, authority, and inherent threat that JI's Edward lacks.

I hate characters like Paige who ultimately waste time and canvas, and crowd history.
