Let's not forget Debbi Morgan turned down a role in a film starring DENZEL WASHINGTON to play Harmony. MAB is a sick woman, but Morgan can't be too smart if she didn't do her research and see the type of situation she was getting into.

She turned down Denzel for a dying genre?

She signed with Y&R, and the next day/week, she was offered the film role with Denzel. She couldn't take it because she already committed to the soap.

I'm SO SICK of hearing this. It's been 7 years and when exactly has Amelia brought it? Is she still waiting for the fabulous writing and directing to dig into her bag of tricks? If she can bring it, then why not just bring it then?

Same. Frankly, Amelia Heinle hasn't been that good since she was on LOVING -- and even then, greatly lowered standards and/or expectations worked in her favor.

Because she's not up to par. For the love of GOD, bring on CARRIE GENZEL!!!!

+1.

In hindsight, at a guess, I think I know/worked on some stuff for the film she turned down, too. It was a small but neat little role and it went to another soap vet.

Did Debbi turn down the role in "Flight" that's coming out this fall? If she did then it looks like Tamara Tunie got the role in her place.

Would have loved to see her go up against Victoria Rowell but the character sucked. It's sad. I know Darnell Williams announcement is coming soon. Sarge was even more horribly executed than Harmony.

New black male Tyler is Sarge's nephew according to the audition script so I'm not so sure about DW's status.

Oh, honey, THANK YOU. I just ranted about Heinle on the Marcy Rylan thread.

No talent, no presence, she brings nothing to the table. Victoria Newman should be her breakout role, but it's like she's on Sominex in every single scene.

Heather Tom. Sarah Joy Brown. Heck, I'd even plump for eternal FOJ Robin Christopher. In my dreams? Alicia Coppola.

I'd cut Amelia Heinle in a second. I'd have done the same thing JFP did with Rylan. She's too old and while she can be fun, she usually just looks worn out to me. Trying too hard. Not a bad actress, but just seeming strained. I suppose she'd be a good Serena at GH but I'd be worried about the same problem.

If Brad Bell won't give up Heather Tom - and I'm sure he won't - then give the role of Victoria to Sarah Brown. If she'll work with Jill again.

My understanding is, she WOULD work with JFP again. After all, she came back to GH as Claudia Zacchara. JFP had to extend the olive branch and all, but it worked.

SJB left because Guza wrote Claudia so badly. Plus, she didn't want a long-term contract.

I think Sarah Brown's expiration date is past. Other than her breakout role as Carly and her Carly is the only one I ever loved, nothing has clicked. And she later admitted in an interview with Fairman, GH let her go in her last stint. As good as some people thought she was, I think the character was a fricking disaster for a number of reasons. And her role on Days recently, trying to play a softer strong business woman, was sominex worthy.

I think Megan Ward who played the first Kate Howard would be a perfect Victoria. She's beautiful, has a soft feminine persona, but can play t her bitchy ice queen with class well. They'd have to dump Bortoria because she'd eat Billy Miller alive.

Deuces to Debbi. Harmony had some good scenes here and there, like the AA meeting scenes but I got sick of hearing about her past and the pairing with Neil is dull as hell. Darnell's pink slip is coming too.

Darnell's characters nephew is being cast. I actually thiink his character has worked, but then I think he's been brought onto canvas in a supporting role without any fanfare and he and Bergman actually click on screen. He doesn't really have much now outside of being Jacks physical therapist, but if they bring on a nephew it gives him a bit more to do and it helps expand his presence in a more organic way.

^^^Yeah they're bringing in Tyler Douglas but they could scrap the plan to have him be Sarge's nephew.

I did so love Angie and Jesse on AMC but I only recently started tolerating Debbie as Harmony, she was so in your face and awful in the beginning. I can't say I've been unhappy about any of the dismissals so far.
