Members BetterForgotten Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 It's too bad that Eve and Kristen never got to interact (that is, with CR in the role). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 doubt it. TBH, I'm not sure Will/Sonny are still gonna be on the show by then. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think a lot of Jennifer hate is due to the albatross known as Daniel. I know that's usually it for me. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe if CR is free in the near future, they'll dump Kassie for "The REAL Eve." (Remember when Kassie announced Susan Haskell as "The REAL Marty!" at the Emmy's a few years back when Haskell returned to the role after the flop recast?).

Members ChitHappens Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 This really bugs me. The real? Ugh. Guess Kassie forgot she wasn't the real Blair, and that she got a job that belonged to an Asian woman? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Charlotte was perfection. I hope Kassie can live up to her. http://youtu.be/uM_ovGnmo3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would never claim CR is some amazing actress, but she had a lot of natural charisma and whenever I came across DAYS in the very early 90's, I would always pay attention to her. She could play against type easily, but also had a nice vulnerability. Kassie is much too hard and cold for me, but again, they'll probably just write the character around her and excuse it because the character hasn't been on the show in over 20 years.

Members difficultdiva Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well, I can't really place blame solely on KDP shoulders on saying "The REAL Marty" stuff. That's what ABCD used as advertising, in their misguided way of trying to get viewers back to watching OLTL during that time. They even did that when Rebecca Buddig decided to come back to "All My Children" and the show already had another actress currently in the role as Greenlee. They again came out with this is "The Real Greenlee" advertising and viewers were outraged that the other actress was so publicly thrown and rolled over by ABCD that Buddig was on "The View" and apologized about the advertising.

Members difficultdiva Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have the same hopes and I'm willing to give KDP a chance in her future portrayal as Eve Donovan. The character has been off screen for over 20 years now. Since CR is being gracious about it, then it won't be that difficult for me to give this recast a chance. As for the real life ages of KDP and CS, wasn't there another soap that had a mother and son characters, whose portrayers were also close in age? Two in fact: General Hospital's Dante and his mother, along with The Bold and The Beautiful's Nick and his mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 THIS! THIS! THIS!!!! And again, forget the age difference. KDP as CS' daughter is laughable. Imagine her calling him, dad, father or pa. MISCAST of epic proportions! I don't understand what story involving Eve could justify such a ridiculous miscast. Why couldn't she be another relative or a new character altogether? This is just too ridiculous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes you can blame her, especially since she was playing a recast herself. It's distasteful! I'm well aware of ABC's disturbing campaign, but unless asked to do otherwise, show some respect and intelligence. Casting call to recast an Asian character and a white amazon bumpkin walks out with the job? How in the sam hell does that happen?! The absolute nerve of that woman!

Members difficultdiva Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 It was KDP job to participate in the promotion of SH's return as Marty Saybrooke and as for her being cast as nuBlair, that again is on the shoulders of ABCD and OLTL. They could have not cast her in the role all those years ago. They could have refused to see her try out for the role, because they knew that the character was Asian. They (ABCD and OLTL) made the decision to make the change. It's not like KDP pulled a "Misery" move on them in order to get the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Promoting the return and saying something so distasteful AS A RECAST are two different things. As for getting the job. I have no problem with KDP capitalizing on ABC's oppressive activities. Who wouldn't? My point is, you would think KDP would be more sensitive, especially being a recast herself. But then I have to remember who we are discussing here, and it all makes sense.
