Iconic Soap Stars Who Flopped In Other Roles

[Melroser]

 

The character of Mary was brought in with a big story (as the not-so-dead) matriarch of the McKinnon family. Once Mary was back in Bay City and "settled" with Vince, she became boring. I also think that DA didn't draw in viewers to the show like NBC was hoping and was probably pushed to the side somewhat. 

 

Has anyone mentioned Kimberlin Brown's run on OLTL as Paige? I remember being excited that she was going to be on the show but she seemed to be on so briefly. Was she offered her job back at Y&R/B&B and that's why she left? Or was she unhappy with OLTL?

OK, am I being trolled (lol)?  A couple of weeks ago I wrote a long post about the failure of repeat-named characters and got no support, and now there are two more examples in a different thread...

No. You wrote a post on this? I'm interested to see that post. 

 

I just thought it would be a flop to be name someone Julia (again) to be a romantic rival for Carly.
