Taylor ran off to "the Middle East" with Quinn, who was going with Vivian and Ivan, and when Quinn stupidly came back a few months later, he told someone it hadn't worked out between them.

You pulled that out of the vodka bottle, dear.

Well, damn!

Julie Pinsen will be next Billie ....Rinna is staying far away

I don't hate her. She's alright. I just dread yet another Madison, Serena, Arianna ... and the list goes on.

Maybe she's Taylor? They already tried two other actresses, what's a third? How'd Taylor go out? It's sad I don't even remember, but I was pretty tuned out by that point.

No one gives a f--k about Taylor, no matter who plays her

I never did but doesn't mean she still can't play her. It could be a new character but females in her age range don't do well on this show.

Julie Pinsen will be next Billie ....Rinna is staying far away

Who said anything about Julie Pinson or Lisa Rinna? This thread is about Alicia Minshew.

Wasn't Billie Reed mentioned??

As far as Kendall, Minshew was never much of an actress when it came to the emotional stuff but she worked that character well the first few years. Things fell off the rails after Budig left the first time and they started pushing Zendall as a supercouple and Kendall as the damsel in distress. She lost her rootability and spark and became torturous to watch. The Spike accident and the "Apologies my darlin" song during B&E's horrid tenure was what really killed the character for me, AM could never sell emotional victim stuff like that so making that Kendall's main purpose on the show was a huge mistake.

Making her a perpetual damsel in distress within the Zach and Kendall pairing did indeed ruin the character. [Z & K's first 8 months, though? Brilliant.] Constant peril, heartbreak, guilt, crying, babies everywhere - sigh. AM's home-base is definitely anti-heroine BUT I disagree with the bolded part. I don't think that stuff broke the character because AM was poor at emotional stuff - she was about average with some hit and miss thrown in. I think it broke the character because it was too constant, and on top of that these miserable, sad stories were always front burner story. They essentially changed the character from her core to make her this pathetic hapless heroine.

Example of HIT.

I was pulling for her as a Victoria recast at Y&R as well,

I think that could have been a perfect fit but isn't Pratt at Y&R these days? Pratt on daytime scares me.

You can't just provide an example of hit without an example of miss!

She might play Billie doubt it

She's way too young for Billie. Billie is 50 years old, not Eric's age.

This speculation is heating up again. Jason47 is saying that an actor from another soap is joining Days in September. I tend to think its AM also.

Please God, NO.

Also, may the Soap Gods have mercy to whomever claims AM would be great as Victoria Newman. I will pray for you souls!

AM would be a major step up from one note montone Heinle

Please God, NO.

She would be miles better than the bucktooth beyotch in the role now.
