Members robbwolff Posted March 30, 2014 Members Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mark Arnold replaced Dane, not Burke Moses. The recast made no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 31, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 I don't think it made sense to anyone (except maybe the Dobsons). Bar none, getting rid of Dane Witherspoon was one of the worst moves the show ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 31, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 That was nice of Missy to share her thoughts and feelings on Dane's passing. They were very believable as big brother/kid sister Joe and Jade Perkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 31, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 Prior to SB, Mark Arnold starred from June 1980 to October 1983 as Gavin Wylie on ABC's Edge of Night. From 1987-89, he played Rob Coronol on OLTL. He also played Michael J. Fox's rival, Mick, in Teen Wolf. Looking at his imdb page, it doesn't appear that he played any characters named Burke.

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ironic that none of these "returns" were successful in the long run. DW was let go from Capitol, never to be seen on daytime again and eventually left show business altogether, Kristen Meadows didn't last long in her return engagement on OLTL (ironically, she would join the SB cast the next year), and Taylor Miller's run at AW turned out to be a disaster. What's really weird is how Taylor Miller's AW stint kind of mirrors Mark Arnold's at SB. Observe: TM: Left a successful gig on an ABC soap (All My Children) and joined an NBC soap (Another World) MA: Left a successful gig on an ABC soap (Edge of Night) and joined an NBC soap (Santa Barbara) TM: Was paired up on-screen with predecessor's (Mary Page Keller) on- AND off-screen love interest (Thomas Ian Griffith) MA: Was paired up on-screen with predecessor's (DW) on- AND off-screen love interest (Robin Wright) TM: While very popular with fans in previous role (Nina Cortlandt), proved to be an immensely unpopular recast MA: While very popular with fans in previous role (Gavin Wylie), proved to be an immensely unpopular recast TM: Looked absolutely nothing like predecessor MA: Looked absolutely nothing like predecessor TM: Exited role in a grisly on-screen death scene MA: Exited role in a grisly on-screen death scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cuzIsaySo Posted April 1, 2014 Members Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thanks for looking that up I will probably confuse MA with Burke Mose for some unexplainable reason to the day i am too old to remember my last name though lol Just an aise though Justin Mulvey isnt credited for being on GH ON HIS IMDB PAGE but im still pretty sure he played Allegra's fiancé.
