Thinking about how to cast using former daytime actors from the NY Area.    My random thoughts for a reboot...

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Captain     Timothy Stickney

2 Detective Teams that could rotate:

Michael Park and Cassandra Creech

Sean Ringgold  and Paul Anthony Stewart

Uniform Cops

    Eddie Alderson

    Kelley Missal 

 

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

District Attorney of NYC          Larry Bryggman

2 Sets of Prosecutors that could rotate:

Eric Steinberg  and Melanie Smith

Lea Salonga and Jason Shane Scott

 

 

Coroner           Stephen Schnetzer

Profiler            Hillary B. Smith

Rotating Judges: Julia Barr
Peter Francis James
Marie Masters
Robert Newman
Socorro Santiago
Erika Slezak
Anna Stuart
Jerry Ver Dorn
Tom Wiggin
Walt Willey
David Wolos-Fonteno
Robert S. Woods
Colleen Zenk

 

Defense Attorneys Nicola Correia-Damude

                              Kristen   Kreuk

                            

 

Came up with the list over dinner with some friends.   Anyone else have any thoughts?

Realizing that some are retired/ out of the business. Just a little fun speculation.

I never understood getting rid of this in the first place. Considering how long this show lasted and how much the cast changed, I'm very curious what type of cast they will go with. Of course we will have new characters, but I'm curious of the mish mash of old characters that join them.

If I recall, had the show been renewed back in 2010, S. Epatha Merkerson was going to leave, anyway, as she had been on a long time. And I know there has been a decade-plus break, but it appears Wolf is leaving  Merkerson in the Chicago franchise (hence the Camryn Manheim casting news) and Jeremy Sisto in the FBI franchise, hence Jeffrey Donovan's character being Anthony Anderson's/Bernard's new partner.

An old L&O tie in with new cast member Hugh Dancy (I believe he will be an ADA/EADA?): His now-wife Claire Daines starred in an episode of the show all the way back in 1992 (pre-My So-Called Life and pre-Lennie Briscoe) as a teenage girl infatuated modeling and with a photographer that she ended up killing called "Skin Deep". (A Logan/Ceretta [Paul Sorvino] episode from Season 2.)

    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
