I did not know that! I like her talent, and really enjoy her in the little bit of what's available on Youtube.

@Khan Yes, I did enjoy it! I still feel bad for Beth, that most have been hard for her to miss out on playing Liza only for them to recast 6 months later. And missing out on playing Patty on Y&R for AMC. I do agree with you and Vee that she should have kept her feelings to herself until she left the show.

I guess You're right about Frankie. I wish they found something that worked for him. I didn't see much story for him in the same profession of his mother. He needed to be interested into things that had him in conflict with his parents, I would have loved for him to dislike cops or being a supporter of David's when Angie and Jake were beefing with him.  He even could've got a job on New beginnings with his film making background! 

The problem the show had with Charlie Brent is the same problem they make with every MARTIN, they focus too much on them all being do-gooders and being Doctors (YAWN). The Martin's desperately needed a true bad seed. 

Frankie and Charlie suffered the same problems.

Beth Elhers was considered for Patty on Y&R?

Rafe Kovich Jr. (General Hospital)- For the summer of 2013 he was going to be part of the teen quad with Molly/TJ/Taylor who was later fostered by Silas and Sam. It seemed they wanted to play up his Barrington legacy when Alexis had brought up his pedigree to Diane but it never anywhere else. Then they killed him off in a car accident and his heart went to Alice. 

Taylor DuBois (General Hospital) - Felix's teenage sister who was eventually recast she was the spoiler in the TJ/Molly story. She just disappeared and never mentioned again along with Felix who we hardly see anymore. She was blackmailing Felix about him not telling their parents he was gay too. 

Shauna Nelson - (The Young and The Restless) - Hilary and Devon took her in as their "pseudo foster child" she dated Charlie and knew Lily had run that red light that killed Hilary. It seemed like they were planning to do more with her, Mattie, and Charlie until TPTB were like "Nope" and they sent her off to live in Colorado. I remember wanting her aunt to come to town to become romantically linked to Neil before KSJ's death. 

 

Felix ran into Cary on GH's 2/14/22 episode & said he just had dinner with Taylor but she went up to bed at the Hotel

 

Im still mad that OLTL cut short the story of Kyle Lewis and Oliver Fish because of homophobes

Oh, Lord.

I'm not particularly mad about Kish's story being truncated, because I don't think Scott Evans' (ex-Fish) acting was very good.

I agree there but there was more planned and ABC got scared and cut them out after winning a GLAAD award

@John Yes, Patty was one of many roles she was offered.

AW:

Peggy Lazarus (Rebecca Hollen)

Caroline Stafford (Joy Bell)

Kevin Anderson (Jamie Goodwin). His character was just a mess. As Jake's half-brother, he should have been on for years. 

Brittany Peterson Love (Sharon Gabet). Another hot mess. First she was deaf and had to talk with sign language and then she ended up in middle of Sally/Catlin just to end up in an abusive marriage to Peter.

I get why she resembled previous Patty, Lilibet Stern but Im glad Stacy Haiduk got that gig

Damn. I always liked Ehlers, and I've never liked Haiduk on daytime. This might have worked.

Not if the plan was to have Patty come back as a total loon.  BE as "Patty Jane" would have made Cady McClain's performance as unspooled Kelly look like a masterclass in acting.

Remember the "adult" Tim Dillon on AMC played the hunky, but not charismatic, Dylan Fergus? 

He was excellent candidate for SORASing, as he had been off the canvas for bit, he was an heir to Alex Hunter's fortune, and he had ties to Trevor, Amanda, and Hayley.

But, he flew back into town, took off his shirt, got little to no reaction from the female characters, and then disappeared with a  month.

(Fingers crossed that I recalled my AMC stories correctly or face the wrath of the passionate historians amongst us.)

Yep than Dylan Fergus ended up on Passions

I think Beth Elhers attitude is what did her in

Her behavior about being paired with JR Martinez was pretty heinous. I had a lot of respect for the audience seeing past Martinez's looks and embracing him. Too bad Ehlers was so damned shallow. No loss when she got the boot.

You know I stopped to think and Lauralee "Lorie" Brooks was both aborted and wasted, Bell certainly still had a lot in store for his daughter's namesake when Jamie decided to quit, a real pity! Then when they brought her back in 2002 well they lost soooooo many opportunities!

Also I'm not sure but I believe Jensen Buchanan's Character on GH and Y&R got some potential too

Yeah until GH made Melissa Bedford an "Angel of Mercy". She even tried to kill Edward Quartermaine

 

Wasnt her Y&R character, a lawyer, short -term from the start?

Her speaking up publicly was a bad idea on her part BUT, correct me if I am wrong, I don't think her issue was at any point his physical injuries.
She was complaining that he was very green and not a great actor.

BE said she was doing shakesphere & that Martinez was not
