Bold and the Beautiful: Beth Henderson Logan

[Lust4Life76]

I am watching the first season as it is continuously made available on YouTube, and it's fun to see B&B's genesis... but question about Beth Logan... The character was originally played by Judith Baldwin, known for replacing Tina Louise as Ginger on a "Gilligan's Island" reunion movie. Ms. Baldwin was featured for all of three weeks? Was there a reason she left so early? Was it unexpected as Ms. Baldwin's vanity shot in the opening continued to be shown well into her replacement's Nancy Burnett (the actress most associated with the role...) debut?

Shouldn't this be posted in the Bold from the Beginning tthread?

Oh, I don't know, I thought by asking I was 'discussing the soaps', sorry. I anticipate it will be moved. Good Night!

Judith Baldwin appeared from March to June 1987. No word has ever been revealed as to why the switch was made from her to Nancy Burnett. As for why Baldwin was in the opening, it seems to be an on-going problem this soap has with including previous cast members (which means you're supposed to pay them) for an extended period of time.
