Was MAB the worst casting director in soap history?

The best Maura West scenes were when Diane was in mom mode with Garrett Ryan's Kyle.

Kyle is now 35

Ah, yes. Back all those years when Kyle was just a wee lad.

And played by a better actor! He was a more enjoyable character than too! I loved how he stood up for her mother when that evil bitch Phyllis trashed her in Restless Style. And how he listen to his mother when she told him to do something.

SO. MUCH. WORD

I loved me some Garrett Ryan. From day one.

Add me to the list of people who liked Garrett Ryan's pre-SORASed Kyle

[juniorz1]

Maura West was not nearly as terrible as McCrary and Riegel. Darius McCrary was a joke! Maura West is anything but. Her performance was never the problem- it was the writing. Sorry, but I call bullsh!t on Maura being called Worst anything on Y&R.

You may as well add Debbi Morgan too.

These are by far the worst:

Darius McCrary as Malcolm

Eden Riegel as Heather

Tammin Sursok as Colleen

Michael Muhney as Adam

Shari Sh!ttuck as Ashley

Michelle Stafford as Pheila

Ryan Brown as Billy

Kelly Kruger as Mackenzie

Heidi Mark as Sharon

Need I go on? These people aren't even in the same league as Maura West.

my big wish now that moss and flannery are out is that they bring back leslie kay as felecia and bring in maura west as kristen! they need to start rebuilding the forresters, sorry to get off topic

These were fine. I'm actually amazed that you'd put Muhney in that list.

Maura West is a fine actress but COMPLETELY wrong for the part of Diane. All those actors you mentioned (bar McCrary and Riegel) were at least the right age and look for their respective roles. Maura West was a 40-year-old blonde playing a 50-year-old brunette. I would've been fine with her as a Grace Turner recast.
