Members John Posted November 2, 2021 Members Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) GH's Edward Q was played by three great actors David Lewis, Les Tremaine (TemP) & John Ingle. All to me were excellent The forth Jed Allen had the temperment but was too young Makes me wonder why they didnt go with Lloyd Bochner The role of AW's Felecia as well Edited November 2, 2021 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nicholas Blair Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of Jaime Lyn Bauer being offered a role that ultimately went to Susan Flannery, and I never saw JLB as Laura on Days, another piece of casting that seems so wrong. Of course the role of Stephanie would have been reshaped around whichever star they were able to sign. Now Lauri on Y&R was in many ways the younger (emphasize younger) version of Susan Seaforth's Julie on Days, a beautiful vixen who was neurotic and self-destructive and sometimes harmful to others, yet basically sympathetic with an inner desire to overcome her weaknesses. Bill Bell understood this kind of woman well, and wrote great material for SSH and JLB to play. Each had a sympathetic man (Jed Allan's Don Craig, Tom Hallick's Brad Elliott) who tried to help her, was very attracted to her, but did not end up with her. Neither Susan Oliver nor Rosemary Forsyth really worked as Laura, and there was the additional problem that because supercouple Laura and Bill were married, the writers had to find a way to break them up without alienating the audience or move Laura and Bill into the background or write them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Yeah. It was incredibly unique way of stating it. Lloyd Bochner had to back out of the role, due to a heart attack he suffered prior to filming, and had to be replaced, hence Paul Burke's casting in the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 Ooooooooooh, alright... I don't know, then. LOL. They probably wanted the star pull of Jed Allen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 two of the best recasts on The Bold and the beautiful: Justin Torkildsen as Rick Forrester Winsor Harmon as Thorne Forrester Those two were so outstanding and i really loved them. I never cared for Jacob Young and enjoyed Justin so much more. Jacob will always be loved by me on AMC but not on B&B. General Hospital: Natalia Livingston as Emily Quartermaine... I liked the original one but Natalia took over my heart in an instant. I always understood why KS was beloved as Maxie in the past but i am so over her by now. I really liked her break between 2010/11 when Jen Lilley took over. I will always love Kristen for her portayal of that character Belle on Days but i am over her on GH.. Hell i even enjoyed Molly Burnetts short stint in July 2016. It seems to me that with Kristens Maxie we will never get any character developement at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 I believe Bochner’s Dynasty co-star Peter Mark Richman (Andrew Laird) was Bochner’s immediate on-air replacement, and Richman himself was replaced by Burke after a short time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Yep Paul Burke played CC like he was a game show host and lasted a short time before Charles Bateman took over and 15 months later, Jed Allan became CC Edited November 14, 2021 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thoughts on all The Margo's on ATWT Also why did they cast such young actresses in Veleka Gray and Anne Sward to play Mom to Margo, Cricket & Craig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 I loved Margaret Colin. She should have been a primetime star and CBS tried, but it never really happened for her. Hillary Bailey Smith and Ellen Dolan were worthy successors (I have a slight preference for Dolan). Glynis O’Connor was the only real dud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted November 15, 2021 Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 Ellen Dolan is always going to be Margo to me. But, I've seen clips of both Margaret Colin & Hillary Bailey Smith, and both ladies did quite well in the role, as well. I can see how Dolan was cast after Smith, and why they almost brought Smith back to replace Dolan after Glynnis O'Connor did not work out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted November 15, 2021 Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 I liked Dolan's 1st stint as Margo, but she began playing Margo as bitter and harsh after awhile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted November 15, 2021 Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 I agree. I basically think of her Margo as a cold, shrewish harpy. Yuck. Dolan is my least favorite of all four Margos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 15, 2021 Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 My favorites in this order: 1. HBS 2. Margaret Colin 3. Ellen Dolan 4. The purse lady She never felt like Margo to me. She was miscast from the start. I do wonder who else they had in mind when HBS left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
