Members darraholic Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 A popular hillbilly is coming to Genoa City! EW has learned exclusively that a former star from CBS The Dukes of Hazzard will join The Young and the Restless beginning Feb 7 And the actor is Catherine Bach! Best known for paying Daisy Duke, Bach will join the daytime sudser as Anita, the scheming mother of Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan). Her first day on the set is Jan 10 http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/01/05/dukes-of-hazzard-alum-joins-cbs-soap-as-exclusive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 This show sure loves to do off the wall casting that no one would ever think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 Oh dear god! Who's in as Chelsea's father? Bob Sagat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think I joked about Bach joining several years ago. MAB never fails with her pathetic stunt casting. Anyone who EVER had a major role in a primetime show will be hired by her for some deluded idea of prestige. Her contempt for daytime reeks through. I also don't understand the idea of casting someone who was famous only for their rear end. When they had one of those reunion movies ten years ago, even Stella Stevens looked better.

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ugh. More people. I was fine with Darnell because he's a veteran soap star. But, all of this ridiculous stunt casting has to stop. Their cast is big two soap operas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 This is... interesting. My first reaction was a Tawny/Amber kinda thing. Wopat was on AMC, wasn't the blond one on Y&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't think John Schneider has ever been on soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 What audience is she supposed to bring with her? What purpose does she serve? We already have more than enough actresses over 50 struggling to get story. Plus, she's not a good actress. This is stupid and has made the Chelsea story officially a nonstarter.

Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 To be fair I think Bacteria and MCE in a dud role did that more than Bach could. The whole idea is supposed to be, "Wow, I remember ___ back on _____ all those years ago! I have to see them again!" Or, "Wow, I love watching reruns of this cool pop culture touchstone, and now I get to see ____ in a new role!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 Tracey Gold is gonna pop up on Y&R next mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 Not Tracey. Missy Gold. Personally I'm holding out for Diana Canova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 So sad that there'll be only 4 soaps left in a lil over a week. Each time I check out Y&R or see another lame stunt casting, I can't help but think the wrong ones are being cancelled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
