The show does have some excellent actors, it's just that the ones who are bad are really, really bad.

Other than Heather Thomas who can be superb, what "excellent" actors? Regardless, TK can barely act himself and is lucky to be employed.

lol yeah completely disagree

All I could think was Adam was a perv cause her Lisa was like 10 when she married Adam

Any who, I love this news and I love that he and Jacob Young will be playing brothers

and now Ridge is played by someone 14 years younger which is more extreme, but okay bc its an actor you like as opposed to before

Emma Samms and Karen Cellini were both a different ethnicity than the actresses they replaced and it worked just fine.

Um no.....this is a joke right? Both were regarded as AWFUL recasts when they took over the respective roles. It took YEARS and Dynasty's final season till people accepted Emma Samms as Fallon but the first 3 or so years were not kind to her at all. Karen Cellini never won people over. Being British kind of defined Amanda. She was like a mini Alexis with a very European aristocratic influence, being educated and raised abroad. To have her go from that to some common chick from the block was very jarring and ruined the character. It simply did not work and Amanda lost a lot of what made her Amanda by changing her ethnicity.

Heather Tom is the main one. I think Scott Clifton is good, albeit not often enough. Once upon a time KKL was a very good actress.

I was mostly trying to be polite and not act like the whole cast is crap.

I okay, I will give you Scott Clifton and I will throw in Jacob Young as decent actors once a upon at time, but the rest of the cast cannot act for crap. TK should be in his element.

Yes it was a joke The differents accents made the recasts even worse.

I forgot about Jacob. He's OK too.

It's weird about the age gap - I should be bothered by this. It's just that I think Ronn was always a little old for the role anyway, from the time he was cast. So if they age down I won't notice as much.

LOL..thanks for clarifying bc I was giving you the side eye there...lol

I think Emma Samms was a good Fallon recast, but the way Dynasty was written at that time made it difficult for anyone to act. I remember a David Paulsen (the EP/HW for the final season) interview where he talked about how horrible she was and how he wanted to get Pamela Sue Martin back ASAP. Then he met with her and saw how fun she was and wondered why the show wasn't writing her to her strengths. Then he wrote her more like Fallon was originally conceived and it worked. Just like this case, the writing is going to be an important factor in whether or not Thorsten Kaye works. They need to acknowledge the differences, but still make sure he feels like Ridge. TK certainly needs to clean his look up a bit and be more tailored. This is not sloppy Zach Slater. I hope he understands that and is okay with it.

Also, for all we know he may plan on hiding the accent. It's not that strong anyway.

IA that Steffy and Taylor need to come back ASAP. And Peter Porte as a Thomas recast.

I love this idea! The Spencers are not interesting enough to carry the show and with Stephanie gone Brooke and Taylor should both be there fighting over business, men and family.

Thomas and Steffy should also be there front and center and I'd like to have Amber around in a Darla/Pam capacity.

LOL..I thought you meant Donna/Pam at first but then noticed the shade.

I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. Daytime Confidential mentioned it in one of their podcasts recently, and since then I can't get the idea of Porte as Thomas Forrester out of my mind! What a breath of fresh air it would bring to the character.

This is terrible.

when he's done with his current GH stint, anyone down to see Tristan Rogers as a recast Stephen Logan? Fiona Hutchinson as nuFelicia? Ingo Rademacher as Thorne?

If Brad Bell has any sense he will hire Fiona, but as a fun fashion diva.

Tristan was on the show fifteen years ago, although Brad probably doesn't even remember.
