Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 I believe he was fired. I still remember all the picketing around the studios after that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Clayton Norcross and Winsor Harmon both had chemistry with KKL. I couldn't imagine Carrie Mitchum's Donna doing all the honey bear stuff with Eric, or cat fighting with Pam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 From what I remember the recast happened because Bradley was going to pair Thorne/Taylor but didn't think Jeff Trachta was handsome enough to be a romantic leading man opposite Hunter Tylo.

Members Wendy Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 And, per Wiki, he was on the 12th season of America's Got Talent as...a singing Trump impersonator (and eliminated in the quarterfinals). Umm...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 24, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2021 Yorlin Madera turned into a decent-looking man, but I can’t quite see him playing the stuff David Fumero played as Cristian. I don’t think Cristian would have stuck around as a utility romantic lead without DF. Sometimes one actor embodies the young character, but a recast is needed to mature the role. But more often than not, soaps simply cast a more conventionally attractive actor for sexual/romantic purposes, à la Rachel Miner/Rebecca Budig as Michelle on GL. DF did make the character his own beyond showing off his assets, so I don’t want to denigrate him. He’ll be 50 next year, which makes me feel old. He still looked great on Brooklyn Nine-Nine with his wife: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted October 24, 2021 Members Share Posted October 24, 2021 I couldn’t imagine Ashley Benson’s Abby doing any of that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
