Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 No. He didn't. It was like watching some pod-Jax. Someone called Jax but there's no way in hell they are really the same Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Could temp Aiden have been any worse than actual Aiden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 As harsh as the Jax stans were on the guy, I couldn't bring myself to feel sorry for him after that half-ass job onscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Y&R Sarah Aldrich as Victoria Newman.Big shoes to fill and TPTB obviously realized that she all wrong and gave her little to do before she was canned.

Members juppiter Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Alan White as Chris Hughes on ATWT. There were a lot of Chris Hughes recasts and many of them were pretty bad but he was cringeworthy and not helped by the major change in the character and awful dialogue and bad/awkward chemistry with Kristina Sisco. He was nice to look at but luckily I don't think he lasted a month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jo.frank88 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Charity Rhaimer is my show's Charity Rhaimer. haha I'm always a fan of "giving a character a rest" between recasts of any character who has been played by the same actor for any length of time (even 2+years really)... Even if they write in that the character is out of town visiting family for a month or two, out on business, or just mentioned and not seen... it helps the transition from one actor to another for any character who has been played by the same actor for any good length of time. Charity Rhaimer helps prove this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 The trio of Pierce Riley. The character was decent with RM's Janet Green, but his romance with Brooke felt forced and completely wrong, but it just got worse with Jim Fitzpatrick's abrupt departure, and the introduction of Greg Wrangler's version - who looked more like he could be JB's younger brother than a good choice for her current lover. Greg was only supposed to be a temporary replacement, so they could wrap up the story, but then like a bad penny, Pierce came back again in the form of Maxwell Caulfield, who didn't know for the first week that he character wasn't Australian - and he adopted a horrible American accent that made he acting, if possible, even more atrocious.

Members will81 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I agree. In fact I think they did this a lot more in the good old days, and if the recast came on straight away unless it was during the middle of a crucial storyline they would be on at most a few times a month for the first few months, then they would get more story. I would add Days of Our Lives Steve Wilder to the mix, though he was on more than 3 months (about 8 months), I thought he was so awful. It was also the most bizarre recast moment with him taking over the role mid shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Wilder was gay porn Jack. That's what he looked so much like and he seemed to only have chemistry with men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I like the dive right in approach myself, complete with "The role of ___ is now being played by __" -- or even more descriptively, "Returning to the role of ____ is ____" as they did on AW with Sandra Ferguson (Amanda) and possibly Matt Crane (Matt) when they came back in 1998. I'm sad they don't do that intro voiceover for recasts anymore. I don't mind, it doesn't take me out of believing in what I'm watching. For some reason that narration allows me to reset and accept a recast as "official." I can't think of any recast that has bombed so bad for the producers that they yanked them right away on any of the shows I watched while I was watching.
