Christine Jones certainly got around. I remember her as Viki on OLTL but didn’t know she filled in for Jane Elliot too.

Who knows?  If we dig a little deeper, we might turn up some footage of her pitch-hitting for Susan Lucci or Kim Zimmer!

That's a good question, did Susan Lucci or Kim Zimmer ever get temp recasted? Same goes for Deidre Hall and Melody Thomas Scott, curious about these leading ladies.

Only Melody has ever had a temp -  Robin Eisenmann back in the mid 80's for several weeks.

I dread ever hearing the words "The role of Erica Kane will be played today by Philece Sampler."

(May she RIP.)

Ah, yes.  The girl who once played a Kris Monroe lookalike on "Charlie's Angels."

And they have a playlist!

Ok I'm subscribing on this channel, also why you "Dread" Philece? I loved her on both AW and Dool

You're joking but I would've loved to see that, just hope this doesn't turn into a urban legend like Maeve McGuire as Vanessa Chamberlain

I always wondered if GH Dawn was abandoned because they couldn't get the casting correct, which is why it is amazing to me that YR Sharon has lasted so long.

I mean Dawn could have sub'ed for every story that Emily had as a young adult, given that they were both ista-Quartermaine women.

But, with Sharon, it is a quandary because none of the actresses had a particularly different take on the character, (unlike some of the short-lived Daniel's), and none of them were noticeably bad actresses, so it seems like the Y&R casting department screen tested during episodes rather than prior to filming.

Thank you! Funny enough out of all the divas I listed she's the only one I could see recast (not now of course) in any capacity.

Sharon #1 Monica Potter admits she was so green

Sharon #2 Heidi Mark was actually 1st choice but not available at first, but got the role when Potter left

Not sure why we got Sharon Case as Sharon #3 but Case only expected to play the role for six months as she was waiting word on S2 of Valley of the Dolls. But that show got canned and Case signed a long term deal.

Slight correction. Three of the Brooks sisters were originals: Jaime Lyn Bauer (Lorie), Trish Stewart (Chris), Pamela Peters (Peggy). Victoria Mallory (Leslie) was the recast. Janice Lynde (original Leslie) was on One Life to Live in 1984.
