Members sheilaforever Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) After the contractual hickups from 1999-2002 and Brad Bell's VERY harsh way to show Tylo the door in 2002 - by showing Taylor dead in a coffin for an entire episode - her guest stint in 2004 and the fulltime surprise return in 2005 with no more contract dispute afterwards made it seem like the fences had been mended. Then, Brad axed Taylor in 2013 (?) in a SUPER dumb move as Taylor was paired with Eric and one of the bright spots on the show. Tylo was bitter and only begrundingly returned in later years - until the babyswitch/shooting Bill year which gave her some meaty material and recurring stint which lasted almost 12 months. I thought that Tylo while very rusty at first did okay to very good (scenes with KKL) during her final stint. Too bad, for personal reasons or else Tylo no longer wants to come back to the show... As for the recast: This will not work out well. PERIOD. Part of Taylor’s appeal was the long history and great chemistry with KKL. With Ridge already being recast it’s just not the same anymore if Taylor is also played by someone else. Especially for a group of characters like Brooke/Ridge/Taylor which has been onscreen for so long. Taylor is needed on the canvas but I don’t think that a recast - especially with Krista Allen who is sweet but unrecognizable - will do the trick.

Members ChitHappens Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 Pinson would have been a better option but anything is better than Hunter! Even porn Billie!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 My guess is that it will be a TK as Ridge situation. It will probably be a completely different version of the character simply also called "Taylor" and with the existing character relationship with the cast. It may or may not work on its own terms - just not if we cling to the original version of the character but it might be fine if you stick to what's going on on the screen at this moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted October 27, 2021 Webmaster Share Posted October 27, 2021 I could totally see B&B going all out showing flashbacks with Hunter and pretending Krista and Hunter are the same person. It wouldn't be a stretch since somebody was under the knife a lot any way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KristinG79 Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 And Bell just keeps on destroying Taylor. This is awful! JMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 Please register in order to view this content New pic of Krista Allen, via EW. The EW photo caption says "credit CBS" so maybe this how she'll look as Taylor? Errol's article says she starts taping on Oct 28. She probably came into the set early for publicity photos. (Unless that's an old CBS pic from an appearance on a different show). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 I can't believe folks still think this character has credibility left with Hunter's over stuffed frozen face. Her scenes were painful and hugely embarrassing. Bold humiliates itself daily with the 3 minute romances, the triangle from beneath Hell and now Eric has gifted his wife a black buck of her very own. How in the sam hell is recasting Taylor destruction compared to the trash currently playing out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 Krista was my favorite Billie, so yay I like this casting news. I think it can work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Huge Hunter Tylo/Taylor fan...but I get the show must go on, especially if they reached out to Hunter and she declined. As with others I am okay with this casting choice. The younger age difference shouldn't be too hard to get past, although in scenes with Steffy she might pass more for her sister than her mother. And will be curious to see if Krista and your man Thorsten have chemistry right?! ...Watch out Brooke.

Members KMan101 Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 I loved Pinson but yeah. ATWT ruined her for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted October 27, 2021 Members Share Posted October 27, 2021 I love HT, but she passed, so that's that. As far as the age thing, please don't tell me that HT ever 'looked' her bio-age. Even with all her tweaks, she doesn't look 59. Rena Sofer is 52 and Darin Brooks is 37. And without being mean, they don't even look 15 years apart and it's never been an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
