Recasts on shows: good, bad, in between

Even Kim Stewart Hughes begrudgingly agrees, and she hated the bitch, Kiddo!

What’s funny is, Cooke is younger than Vigard. 
 

Unfortunate recasting, but what choice did they have?  Vigard couldn’t get her act together and Cooke was gorgeous and appealing. It was odd that Vigard did the wedding and Cooke did the honeymoon, but…

 

Besides, John Wesley Shipp twirling Jennifer Cooke around the dance floor at Wired For Sound during the Disco Theme is pure bliss to me. 
 

I followed Cooke to prime time on V and A YEAR IN THE LIFE. I really liked her. Remember she was actually dating Robert Newnan (Josh) IRL. Later she quit acting and married the owner of Celestial Teas and wrote a “cooking with tea” cookbook.

Not liking someone (a performer) does not meant that the performer is a poor recast.

I was going to ask you before you replied, just which actress who had played Dr. Susan Burke Stewart before Marie Masters was recast in the role is it that you preferred in the role?

I appreciate when people remember this amount of detail about a performer.  Also, I would never have imagined she was younger than Kristen, although she looked less mature for her part as the half alien in V.

You inspired a bit of google deep dive and I came up with an article that summed up the changes in the character after the recast.

Is Linsey Godfrey As Sarah Horton A Recast??? I read about Sarah's Conception in 1981 via Artificial Insemination, and found it interesting and surprisingly Ahead of it's time, But Godfrey is 7 years younger than that, and only came on 2018, Did Sarah ever been played by another "Adult" Actress? By the 1970's Standards DOOL Was The SORAS champion way worse than B&B, but I wonder about the 1980's/90's

The only actress in the role of "Aunt" Liz Matthews that I saw was the late Irene Daily.

However, I know that she was a great recast.   She certainly seemed to please Harding Lemay in the role.

 

(The other actresses who had played the role were Sarah Cunningham, Nancy Wickwire and Audra Lindley.)

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
    • It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.
