My two main choices would've been Peter Reckell (ex-Bo, DAYS) or even bring back Lane Davies (ex-Mason, SB) who subbed for Moss in the 1990s, and I thought he did a wonderful job in the role. That being said, when I was watching, Kaye did the role justice and I enjoyed his work.

Is not going to happen; when Bradley Bell recast the role, he was quoted saying he would never return because of it, as it felt like it was a betrayal on Bell's part after Moss told him not to recast the role. He was quoted saying:

"The recast felt like a betrayal. For me, that was a sign of real disrespect. One thing I asked of Brad Bell (executive producer) was not to recast. But it was in a phone message from him that I learned he intended to do exactly that. That was it for me. There is no going back."

Thorsten tried but he’s just not Ridge. He’d work as his own character, perhaps a Forrester nephew of Eric’s from Europe or whatever. As bleh as an actor that Ron Moss is, he was Ridge! Cant say that I’d be disappointed if the current actor left.

I thought so too, actually.

 

Her return and even Sheila's had me watching for a hot minute. Shame it didn't last.

 

What's the beef with the show and Hunter Tylo?

 

Most likely ...

 

And isn't he unable to remember loads of dialogue or something? He left for other reasons too I believe.

 

Thorsten Kaye was miscast as Ridge. Not really sure what they were thinking. I could see Thorsten not coming back.

To be honest I think Thudley have never gotten over Tylo’s contract negotiations dramas they had what, 1999-02 to which lead to her eventual exit. Once Taylor came back in ‘05 it wasn’t long before the character was completely trashed. I think at some point obviously Tylo had enough which why refused to come back in 2019. 
 

I’m surprised that Taylor hasn’t  recast with some high-profile actress from an ABC soap as well. 
 

That 2017-18 period at least still had a good mix of characters to offset the lousier stories and hadn’t completely became the Liam/Hope half-hour yet.

Agreed. The 2017-18 period had potential.

 

I'm surprised Taylor hasn't been recast too. She's very much needed.

 

So tired of petty ass executives who get their feelings hurt. I don't blame Hunter for saying peace out.

 

LMAO

 

I'm actually kinda surprised Marcil hasn't been on B&B ...

 

She can play Hope on DAYS if GH doesn't want her

TK was a solid improvement over RM. However, zero chemistry with KKL - that only get magnified with DD/KKL were in the same room. TK did have chemistry in spade with Lindsey Godfrey. Thudley truly blew it with the Myron PSA - that Maya/Rick/Caroline/Ridge story could have lasted for years.

Eric and Ridge certainly can be gone. Set-up Bill and Brooke as the patriarch/matriarch of B&B. Rick and Steffy, etc. B&B certainly could move the show to the 3rd generation, which they basically set up for the past decade with Hope/Liam/Steffy.

Last we saw him was when he was on General Hospital in 2010, and he still had it. I feel like they chem-tested him with Nancy Lee Grahn, and I liked it.

He is on social media again, and this is one of the images he's posted as of November 2020:

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.

      I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.

      I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.

      In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.

      Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.

      They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.

      I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

      Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

      By AMCOLTLLover · Posted

      my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%

      I have to push back on this. I just don't believe it. I don't believe MVJ or anyone at BTG operates that way -- seeing a performance in reveal scenes and saying "That actor has to go." If that's the case, why aren't they doing that with other actors? We all know Maurice Johnson is FAR from the weakest actor on this soap. My feeling is that Keith Robinson became available and that someone from BTG wanted him badly from the beginning. I think this recasting was all about Robinson and not about Johnson at all. Yep, and anyone who can't see that isn't paying attention. Calling Brandon Claybon the worst actor on the show is laughable. Tomas, Ashley, and Derek might be recurring, but they're also key characters, so leaving them out of this actor discussion doesn't work. They get plenty of screen time and are on contract. The only way your narrative works about BC being the worst on the show is to ignore the rest of the cast.
