Actors who could/should have played other characters on their show.

Reading some comments about Jason Thompson in the Y&R thread and how he is miscast as Billy, made me think about how some actors who are NQR as their character may be better suited to another role on the show, either on canvas or not.

I could see JT as Adam.The whole angsty/introspective shtick seems better suited to the Adam character. Of course he might be too old but as this is just wishful, why not/

Gina Tognoni would have rocked as Victoria, whereas her Phyllis, while fine, had the shadow of MS over her. And Phyllis is a horrible character anyway.

Connor Floyd as Daniel Romalotti?

Anyway, looking forward to your suggestions!

AW:

Laura Moss (Amanda) should have been a recast for Nicole Love. Nicole could have been released from the sanitorium. Donna needed more family and I think Laura as Nicole would have been a great adversary for Frankie. 

What if Mark Pinter (Grant) had been cast as Peter Love? The characters were very similar anyway (always wanting Daddy's approval). It would have put a nix in the Grant/Vicky story that came along, but Peter could still have been involved with Paulina, Cindy, Amanda and been a rival for Jake. 

MIchael Rodrick (Cameron) could have been a great Ben McKinnon. He still could have been involved with Amanda (and even Josie). 

David Andrew MacDonald (Jordan) should have been a new Jamie Frame instead of the show going down that weird sci-fi story.

Crystal Chappell as GL's Blake. I am not a big fan of her personality, but Liz Keifer had turned the character into a bore. The show should be focused on Roger and Holly's daughter who was raised as a Bauer, is the mother to Ross Marler's kids and has so much history with the Spauldings.

GL

"Christine valere" should've been hope Bauer and "Johnny Bauer" should've  been "Sean Reardon"

Nicole Forrester should've been Trish or Hope instead of Cassie.   

"Ava" could've been Anastasia Chamberlain, Vanessa's step-niece.

    • Did I ever say that? I actually don't want to, but I have no problem doing so when I feel it's truly warranted. Case in point. I'll be more respectful about how you're involving yourself in these kind of discussions when you consider doing the same. Believe me when I tell you the way you attempt to dress up this attitude has placated no one, and this is not a minority forum opinion. It is easy enough, for example, to simply say that "I think many of us have underrated JFP's skills as a woman producer in an overly misogynistic industry". It's a lot easier than spending paragraph after paragraph amusedly shaking one's head while talking down to the clueless proles of SON about their blinkered, reductive opinions. And yes, I am saying that many of us have spoken up crediting Phelps for the skills she obviously has as a technical whiz and line producer. There's nothing out of turn about acknowledging that many posters know where she excelled. Or talking about where she clearly (for many of us) didn't. You don't have to agree, but you could try listening to someone other than yourself.
    • It’s a recurring tension in Daytime: the willingness to take risks can fuel a show's longevity, but the actresses themselves often bear the long-term consequences of audience backlash.
    • I pray Eva never lets Dana back into her life, because she deserves better. Dana isn't a mother, nor is she a parent.
    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol
