Days De-aged Mike when Michael T Weiss was cast

In another thread poster mentioned instead of recasting Alan Spaulding with Ron Raines, they should've went with Roscoe Born, and ever since I've never been able to unsee such a good casting choice. It would've been amplified if they brought on Hope who would also be recast (Catherine Hickland? Robin Mattson? Julia Barr?). 

 

Kimberly Mccullough as Michelle Bauer.

Sharon Gabet as Claire Ramsey

Brenda Epperson as Mindy Lewis.

Robin Mattson

As has been said before, an Alan/Hope/Buzz triangle, with RM and Justin Deas reuniting from their Santa Barbara days, seems like an obvious idea, as GL had positioned Buzz and Alan as adversaries. I wonder if GL ever reached out to Robin to reprise her role.

She’d have been great. Already has a proven rapport with her would-be onscreen mother-in-law (JE, her stepmom on The City).

Denise Alexander as Beth Logan after leaving Another World

 

This could have been amazing. Beth/Denise Alexander against Stephanie/Susan Flannery. This could have been milked for years. 

Cynthia Watros as Patty Williams Abbott in the 00s. Before the Mary Jane madness that is. 

For me, Kyle Chandler (of Friday Night Lights fame) always bore a resemblance to Kurt McKinney, so much I could've seen him in the role of Matt Reardon. 
Instead of Robert Bogue, I would've cast Tim Daly (Wings, Madame President, Private Practice) as AC Mallet. 

I wonder if Charlotte Ross (Eve, DAYS) would have been a good replacement for Anne Heche (Vicky/Marley) when she left? I think as Eve, Charlotte played the innocence and wild child well.

I think Charlotte would've nailed Vicky's brash side and Marley's more innocent personality.

According to her Facebook page she is the creative director of acting for the film department at New York Film Academy in New York City. 

From the Academy's website.

That was me and Cat Hickland was in fact my choice. It was because I dreamed it up in early 2003, when OLTL looked ready to dispose of both actors (who had chemistry).

The thing about Lois is I think it's almost irrelevant to bring her back now with Olivia in place. I love Lisa Lo Cicero to this day despite some of Olivia's dumber stories, she has chemistry with Wally, it's cemented. The main problem is that Lois and Olivia are virtually the same character - they even know each other and come from the same neighborhood. This was touched on briefly by Ron Carlivati when he first paired Ned and Olivia up, but it wasn't really discussed beyond that. And I like Olivia still, I'm fine with having her there, but it's a glaring issue.

The truth is that Lisa should've gotten the Lois recast in the 2000s. I joked not long ago that I wouldn't blink if Olivia left one day, ran off with Johnny Zacchara (they were hot together) and came back as Lois a week later, but it's probably true. This show has done dumber casting in recent years.
