When was the last time we heard "The role of ...is being played by..." in a soap?

Thanks JOhn! I knew there were two Mimi's.. but I had no idea there were 3 - I had heard of Dorian, but didn't know a thing about the second one! It's great to see clips of them! Thanks so much!

I recall a lazy camerawork when they announce a temporary replacement on Santa Barbara. Nicholas Coster was ill at one point. A scene starts with a camera focused on the wall between the door and the stairs. The VO came. After that, the camera slowly moved.

Santa Barbara had fun with the soap genre. Threy could've announce a new actor with a slight joke like: "Sigh, another C.C. capwell, now played by Jed Allan"

Wait, did they flip flop between Jess and B. Dick? Was this when she was having that urinary tract ordeal?

Yes

Wow I didn't know that Jess started as a temp recast! Did I understand correctly, did they switch between her and BD back and forth in the same episode?!?!

I must say I like Jess's impression of Brenda a lot.

I don't think they did, but Brenda only came back for one episode or so until being permanently replaced.

In 1986/1987 the show had A LOT of temp recasts so the announcer was really busy: Terry Lester was sick a lot and Jeanne Cooper was also subbed by Giselle Mckenzie etc.

Woah I bet those days the atmosphere on the set was AWKWARD.

I don't think I've ever seen any Jack/TL temporary recast. I hope they'll pop up on YT!

When was this?? I noticed major differences between Jess and Brenda

That's right. Jess was actually not a zombie diva going on automatic!
