I couldn't even imagine someone like KA as Lois.  LLC would be better.  I always thought someone like Lisa Peluso would be good though.

Brianna Brown seems like she's better as a villian and/or vixen so it's hard for me to picture her as lame Belle.  

That's a good one too.

If Kristian Alfonso joined B&B, why not as Margo? She's Ridge's ex, and could be a good foe for Kristen Forrester (because of their Clarke days.) Margo with Bill Spencer Jr would be an interesting story. I'd love to see Kristian as Margo up against Quinn, Brooke.

This may be unpopular, but I don't need to see KA anywhere but on Days.  She's good as Hope, but she's not anything spectacular to make another role work well.   There are plenty other out of work soap actresses in her age range I would prefer to get job.  The door is wide open for her at days so I just wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Again, I don't see a point in recasting Lois with Olivia around, and LLC was the perfect Lois recast (and is basically playing her onscreen). I wouldn't blink if she came back as Lois after Olivia ran off with Johnny Zacchara, but otherwise as is I just don't see a point.

I do think Kristian would've had a ball playing a recurring part as a mob queen on Guza's GH - the dialogue she could've been given! - but today, eh.

The wink to DAYS fans would be fantastic. And KA's Taylor could treat one of Gina's models (see below) for an anxiety disorder when walking the runway...she meets Dr. Finnegan in the hallways...the storyline writes itself. 

A modelling agent whose ice cold would be amazing. I remember a number of posters, myself included, hoped for this when she left DAYS.

Kristian excelled on MP when playing a total bitch. 

Margo needs to be held for Lauren Koslow to play when/if DAYS is cancelled and she needs to re-up her SAG/AFTRA insurance in her retirement.

I'd take Laura Leighton on any soap as any character. How about Patty on Y&R? Patty going after Jack and putting her head-to-head with Phyllis. Flirt with Nick, Billy. Y&R desperately needs someone like Laura Leighton and she still looks amazing.

Also, Thomas falling for the wounded woman is in character, so he falls for this new model, leading to development for him, and perhaps a decent redemption. We would also do a go casting couch story with Bill, a la Weinstien with bill and these younger girls, and so much more!

Agree on Alexa Havins or Stephanie Gatschet as Lulu, if they decide to re-cast in lieu of Emme Rylan or Julie Berman.  I just wish GH would bring Lulu back, a long with Lucky.  Laura needs both of her kids with Luke on the show!!

  Agreed, loved Julie Pinson as Eve on PORT CHARLES and as Billie on DAYS

    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
