Is it alright to say I kind of wish that Cam wasn't fired and had played Daniel throughout his run....I know the character became pointless, but I guess i was just thinking that because it all comes back to young actors making it big doing other things, and then realizing what could have been on a popular iconic soap like Y&R.

Cam Gigandet was probably fired because he looked too damn old. Even 10 years ago he looked weathered. Michelle Stafford wasn't a fan of having a teenage son, much less one that looked only a few years younger than her.

I have never seen him as Daniel, but in this photo he looks so much like Danny and Phyllis's son.

Danny isn't Daniel's biological father so that wouldn't have mattered at all.

AHHHH, I have to disagree. Joan was a great Alex and brought the role closer to Bev's then Marj ever could or was allowed to (JFP wanted Alex to be what she became, a shrieking ineffectual rich bitch which Bev fought.) I remember the scene where she got the chance to finally put Cruella Deville Carmen in her place, "And *I* am Alexandra Spaulding, and I couldn't care less!" Joan was supposed to be short term and I do think the schedule was too much for her, but they didnt get rid of her as she was bad. I loved GL at that time.

Poor Marj, I lover HER, I just can't stand her Alex (always thought she would have been better as a woman who married into money as she never gives off the "To the Manor Born," think that Alex needs.)

Joan's Alex was a force to be reckoned with! Marj's Alex was a shrill goofball that couldn't be taken seriously. At least during her 2003-2009 run.

I agree. GL during that time was AWESOME.

Was CG's hair longer and blond on Y&R, with those styled bangs of the time? I wasn't watching regularly but I seem to remember catching the preview of "Daniel's first day back" and I'm assuming that was him.

I'm struggling to remember scenes of Marj's Alexandra in the office or boardroom. They seemed to downplay that angle of the character. She was more like meddling Myrna Clegg, around the house and dropping in on people.

Tracy Melchior as Kelly Cramer on OLTL. I liked her Stepford version of Kelly better than GT's.

I wonder if they waited till Heather Tom left Y&R
