Soaps and Casting Families (Looks/Resemblances)

And, while they never acted together, CBL, really could have been cast as Bianca's younger sister, Molly. If she wasnt on Y&R, maybe Eden could have stepped in on that role

[Mr. Vixen]

CBL and ER look very much alike, but CBL is prettier. (Not trying to be rude.)

I LOVE that idea!

[MissLlanviewPA]

James DePaiva and Russ Anderson (Max & Steve Holden, OLTL). They could TOTALLY pass as brothers.

[Cheap21]

Nah its true. I never found ER to be anything spectacular but CBL could be made up to look hot with the right makeup and hair

[Mr. Vixen]

Exactly!

I especially love the top middle one.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Whoa. Christina is gorgeous.

[SFK]

Aw, that top middle one, I wanna kiss her for real!

Great minds!

[Mr. Vixen]

Right?

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Guiding Light-Though they didn't work together, but Joan Collins' Alexandra and Vincent Irizarry's LuJack/Nick

[BoldBeauty]

Some of the Forresters look quite much alike on B&B.

Thorne & Kristen --- Ridge & Felicia:

Ridge, Taylor, Thomas & Steffy:

However, the Logan sisters look nothing at all alike.

[Cheap21]

Not Katie but I think both Donnas resembled Brooke in their own ways

DD and SC don't look alike that much but their characters resale each other mainly due to the hair and beard

Overall they did a good job casting Erica's children on AMC. Interestingly enough, I thought both Nathalie Paulding's Bianca and Eden Riegel's Bianca looked more Vincent Irizarry's David Hayward than they did Larkin Malloy's Travis Montgomery. Nathalie in particular really looked a lot like Vincent when she was on AMC, before she grew into her nose.

The original Josh Madden - Scott Kinworthy - was a dead ringer for David Hayward to me, and with him in the role, I couldn't see him as anyone other than David and Erica's son, which made me wonder if that was originally the plan with stolen eggs or whatever. I thought Colin Egglesfield looked like Susan Lucci, but so much like John James who played Jeff Martin.

Ironically, none of those actors really resemble Susan's real children.

Liza and Nathalie were arguably similar in the nose department. I do agree that NP resembled VI. When I used to watch GL in the mid-late '90s before AM joined the show, I thought Wendy Moniz would have made for a good Kendall as she resembled SL in my opinion. She also would have made for a good Greenlee given her resemblance to Anna Stuart (Mary). BTW, Greenlee and Mary looked NOTHING alike, and Greenlee looked more like Roger than her real dad Jack.

Greenlee looked nothing like Jack. A tan and some bleached blonde hair were about all Rebecca Budig and Walt Willey had in common. I thought Greenlee looked more like Erica than she did Jack, but then again, as someone else said up-thread, Susan Lucci and Anna Stuart had similar coloring and perhaps could have been cast as relatives.
