Members John Posted September 1, 2013 Members Share Posted September 1, 2013 Its not about her being skinny now, Im over that My issue is Laura Harrier seems to have good days but real emotion at least to me she has hard time doing Thoughts and if so recast, who would you pick and Shenell is not an option with her college schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 1, 2013 Members Share Posted September 1, 2013 Shenell's not an option bc she sucks. To answer your question, yes Destiny should be recast. I gave LH 3 months to impress me and while cute, she just isn't good and didn't improve from episode 1 to the finale. Hopefully they've been auditioning people in the time off On a purely shallow note, If they are intent on making Jeffrey and Destiny happen, Id rather they go with a shorter actress as LH just looked too tall paired up against CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 Victoria Rowell is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is the only role that was poorly cast on OLTL. I'd do a recast and since Victoria Rowell was mentioned, I'd honestly consider Davetta Sherwood for the role. She's spunky and can act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 PREACH Honestly, looking at the ep counts, Laura was in what 26-27 eps? Yes they got drawn out over months because of the schedule changes but really we haven't seen much of her at all. I'm not ready to call for a recast. I've still found her far more tolerable than Shenell who was given almost 3 years in the role. She has a sweet presence about her & I do think she improved- there just weren't that many eps. And I think she's worth keeping for at least another season on the strength of her chemistry with Corbin and especially Rob Gorrie. The triangle/quad whatever is just getting good and another actress could throw off the dynamics that I do think were developed nicely over the season.

Members Dee41 Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 SE should not be asked back. She doesnt work as an adult Destiny. Acting wise alone she's not good enough. I will say for all her short comings she's made Destiny interesting to watch. She was spunky, spoke her mind, was a busy body, etc on top of being sweet, kind, and somewhat innocent. LH is beautiful but long term she doesnt work as Destiny imo. Acting wise shes far below her peers. The show needs seone who can hold their own with RG, CB, and KM. Her Destiny is also a bit too bland. I'd like her to have some quirks. If they recast I would want an actress who could breathe some life into the character. Davetta Sherwood is an excellent choice. She's what I'd imagine a 21 year old Destiny to be like. LH is too far off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 Davetta is too old to play Destiny. She was 22 playing late teen Lily back in '06. It would be nice to see her in another role, but she would read as too mature compared to the rest of the quad. I forget the actress' name, and she's also too old for the part, but the young lady who played Bernie's niece on The Bernie Mac Show reminds me of an older Shenell. If they do recast Destiny, they will certainly keep in the mold of Laura. There's no going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 Camille Winbush is the actress whose name I was forgetting. And I take that back, she's not too old, not that I'm saying she'd be cast or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadAddiction Posted September 2, 2013 Members Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yes, she should be recast. Like others, I'vegiven her time to improve and she really hasn't. Unfortunately, I don't see a glimmer of raw, untapped talent. She comes across as a valley girl; plus, she is too tall for the guy that plays Jeffrey.

Members Chris B Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 When Davetta played Lily I found she looked incredibly young then. From her recent pictures I could easily see her playing a character Destiny's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted September 3, 2013 Members Share Posted September 3, 2013 Cheap, that video is everything! Not only does that show actually look good, but she is so well spoken. I know she auditioned for Maya on GH and according to SOD, Rachel on OLTL (I feel that must be a typo lol), but it really shocks me she never got another soap gig. She's a great actress.
