I love Brenda Epperson too and she's my "original" Ashley based on when I started watching, but it just feels wrong to recast when the character isn't in a frontburner storyline and the Emmy winning, original actor is still appearing on the show. I mean, it's not like they'd actually give Ashley a good storyline, because they aren't giving anyone a good storyline... so I'd rather just have Eileen appear once in a while for old time's sake. 

 

Always thought Brenda would be perfect for Kristen on B&B.

I can definitely agree with your point and where you're coming from. EDIT: And while fans do love Brenda as Ashley, I can see how it would look 'wrong' to recast. Even if Eileen doesn't seem to care lol

 

100% Brenda would be perfect for Kristen! I've always thought that too.

I don’t think it would look wrong, only because Eileen said she wants and expects them to recast. She said she’s absolutely not returning full time ever. The character is still valuable. But I do agree the idea of Brenda as Kristen is good, but they’ll never invest so I’d settle for drive bys from Tracy Melchior. The Forrester daughter who really needs to return is Felicia.

She's stated in the past that she simply doesn't want to work full-time at any show. The long hours plus the long commute equals too much time away from family.

 

 

 

by the way, Lynda Hirsch issued a correction.

"A girl can dream, can't she? I was so thrilled that Eileen Davidson (Ashley) was headed back to "The Young and the Restless." I had her returning for long run. Davidson let me know her stay is for a finite stay. Too bad. The actress and the character always bring a touch of class to the show. For now, we will take what we can get."

    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
