Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Drew was a tic-laden ham, a twink version of Tom Pelphrey. I liked Schmidt. I'm sorry they recast. I don't remember ever being bowled over by JFP's casting in younger roles (the OLTL casting was often shockingly poor in this area), so we'll see.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 But how many episodes has Noah actually been on?? I think I saw him on a recent episode but if you blinked you missed it. LOL....twink version...LMAO......I like Schmidt too and dont get why he never signed a contract. His character was just wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 He was used like twice every 6 months, mostly because he was never on contract and would always leave to do other roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 That was probably part of it but MAB never gave story to younger characters. Look at how quickly they ushered out the pointless recasts of Summer and Fen. I know a lot of people enjoyed the younger characters on GH in recent years, so maybe she can find someone like Mark Teschner. (I just hope they don't end up getting their own version of dead fish JMB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 They could always get brunette Noah back! Lol but in all seriousness I really don't mind when they recast these young people. And it's not like they ever used this Noah to begin with. He was always off screen and said to be in New York City. They have someone better than Teschner as casting director they have Judy Wilson. Look how many of the young people she cast went on to primetime.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well remember that Nicholas was blonde and then when awful Josh Morrow took over he wasnt blond anymore. So..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Was Wilson the one who cast so many duds on AMC in its last years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes and she is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Even some of the men she cast dubbed "duds" are doing pretty well, Colin Egglesfield comes to mind. She also cast SMG,Amanda Seyfried,Michael B. Jordan, Josh Duhamel among others. Not like MT has had any amazing casting finds in recent years.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 The casting director doesn't have as much of a final say in casting as one thinks. That's usually up to the EP. The casting director is merely responsible for finding suitable candidates for a role, testing them, and callbacks if needed. However, especially if it's a major role, the final say is definitely with the EP in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Absolutely. For most of Y&R's run Ed Scott was instrumental in scouting, presenting and securing talent. It was Ed Scott who found Lauren Koslow at an acting class and suggested her to Bill Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 I still love the story about how ED found her lookalike Brenda Epperson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think a lot of it depends on the situation - I guess you could say that Denise Vasi, for instance, is a success story, but I don't think she was the right choice for the role. I did like some of her hires but generally I don't think she was that great at AMC, and the Y&R casting hasn't been that good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 I know Teschner always talked about Jill (and previously Wendy Riche) being the final decision-maker on roles and all candidates having their final screen-test with her in the room.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 She cast alot of people I liked and there wer some casting finds of hers that I liked off the show better. Like CE has improved alot since AMC. I like him on Client's List and Rizzoli & Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
