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.)

    •  I wanna know why Naomi wasn't there, this is her Aunt and Uncle, no  way she'd miss it
    • Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck. I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.
    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
