Members ghfan89 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Wendy Riche considered recasting Robin Scorpio in 1992. Monty threatened the 1984-1985 Frisco recast to be permanent if Jack Wagner didn't get his act together. Jenny Gardner on AMC was going to be recasted, but they felt a story of a young grieving Greg would be the more interesting, plus AMC already had two other recasts in Nina and Liza.

Members cityfan01 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Robin Mattson would have killed that role and made it actually memorable, not the bore that Grace turned into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted March 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 I read that WR said in an interview she is so glad she did not recast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 I guess Nancy Hughes may have been recast in 1956. Irna Phillips was not happy with Helen Wagner and sent Nancy on vacation after 13 weeks.but the decision was made to retain Wagner and she resumed the role.

Members BingCherry Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 OLTL considered recasting Will Rappaport when Jason Shane Scott left, but decided to bring in Al Holden instead. In 1998, there were rumors about AMC potentially bring in a Kendall recast when they began casting for a mid-20s female whose description sounded familiar to Kendall. In the end there was no Kendall recast then and the character ended up becoming Kit Fisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 When Jensen Buchanan left AW in 1994, they were going to recast, with Kelly Rutherford and Ellen Wheeler (former Vicky/Marley) testing for the roles. Instead they gave Jensen the moon and the stars to return. Y&R made a production of trying to find recasts for Jill once Jess Walton had issues with the show in 2009.

Members John Posted March 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yes they seriously considered Lynn Herring & Kelly McGillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Don't forget Mel Harris as the Jill recast! I don't know if this counts, but around the time Joan Collins had joined GL as Alex there was some serious consideration into recasting Roger with Charles Keating being named as a possibility.
