Webmaster Errol Posted August 14, 2012 Webmaster Share Posted August 14, 2012 UPDATE: Kevin Schmidt OUT! ‘Y&R’ Recasting Noah Newman Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm sad about this. I really liked him as Noah and think he could have grown as an actor if they had kept him around and actually utilized him. And if JFP is really feeling the need to recast the Newman grandchildren, let's move to Summer next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cattykittens Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Was it a big deal when MAB recast Noah? I honestly don't remember, I was going to look until I realized this thread went back 212 pages, but I don't remember anyone really caring that Noah was recast last time around. I don't understand what the big deal is, how many times does the child actor become the adult actor in the same role? Y&R should be strengthening their younger legacy characters. Shouldn’t someone like the actors who portray GH's Lucky or the new Dallas's John Ross be playing Noah? I hear JFP/Sony/CBS, or whoever, is also talking to Jess Walton about returning. MAB wasn’t doing that, so I think that’s a positive sign. MAB was hiring older actors from other soaps and placing our long-time Y&R vets on the backburner. She made Y&R history and the characters developed over decades meaningless in a matter of years. So I don’t care if they replace, or fire, all the newer actors on Y&R in order to strengthen the next generation., If they are going to keep, or bring back Bill Bells core/long-time vets, even the ones MAB didn’t like, to bring up the next generation in over the years I’m happy, and I think it’s good for Y&R in the long run, that’s what soaps should do.

Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Can they recast Kyle while they are at it...the actor now is just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 MAB did recast Noah before and never used the recast except to sing for an episode or two in some real bizarre tale. Noah was suppose to have a big story last summer with Eden's return and the writing of a new love interest in the form of Hunter with Noah trying to hide what happened between him and Eden in Paris and why Eden was in rehab but it never materialized and only lasted a few weeks. There was a lot of odd spoilers about it but it was dropped and has never been brought up since. I suppose another Eden recast is in the works too.

Members Vanguardian Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 The main spumor that seemed most rampant about the secret that Noah and Eden were keeping was that Noah was gay. But of course, we've seen nothing followed up about their secret since, and as you say, it appears to have been dropped. I wonder why they're going for another Noah recast though.

Members Taiah Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yes please! His voice is so pussified and douchebaggy and BH doesn't seem to have much range. I'm perfectly fine with a new Noah. KS is rarely onscreen anyways and is far from irreplaceable. Plus he isn't young romantic lead material which is most likely what TPTB want, especially if they're on this focus on the youngins/Dallas 2.0 agenda. I can really do without Eden but if the plan is to have Noah and Kyle as rivals fighting over her then recast Eden with an actress who has sexual chemistry with men. JH's Eden just doesn't imo.

Members DRW50 Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 They aren't saying they want Dallas 2.0 are they? That is the most shockingly bad younger cast I've seen in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taiah Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm not sure how legit the mimic Dallas 2.0 plan is. I think I read that from Nelson so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 I never buy what he says so I hope it's not true. Their cast is just godawful, unwatchable, and sank the ratings like a stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 I tend to ignore most of what Branco says. Those young people on Dallas were so annoying I gave up trying to watch every week and I love TNT shows. They were completely miscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 He did an interview about it. He's kind of pathetic, given that that he hardly ever appeared on the show and wasn't on contract, and was surprised they're recasting the role? http://blog.soapoperafan.com/2012/08/kevin-schmidts-the-young-and-the-restless-exit-interview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taiah Posted August 15, 2012 Members Share Posted August 15, 2012 Read it. So JFP made the decision last week. Welp, there goes the first pissed off actor lol. I wonder whose next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
