Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 11, 2022 Members Share Posted October 11, 2022 I think Caitlin was pretty well accepted as a good young adult actor with some chops to show for her efforts! She mixed well with her age & peer group & then she did fine with her job as Doris's daughter. GL casting seemed to place good choices in the young adult group.

Members Vee Posted October 11, 2022 Members Share Posted October 11, 2022 I'm still amazed Michael O'Leary is about to be in Halloween Ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 11, 2022 Members Share Posted October 11, 2022 Shocking! I had no idea. I pay zero attention to the horror genre. Amazed is the right word & you've already used it! Mikey's gonna be in the show. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 If only Y&R could have bitten the bullet and thanked Amelia Heinle for her portrayal of Victoria, wished her well and recast with Gina Tognoni instead of wasting GT on Phyliis...

Members SFK Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 Not sure that Alex on DOOL is a good candidate because his very present existence has nothing to do with the character, but everything to do with a way to keep RSW on the canvas.

Members SteelCity Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 Ugh! Still? I get it but I can think of a few others that would have been just as good or better. Christie Clark, Sarah Aldrich, Shawn Batten, or Sarah Brown for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 Gina, Christie, Sarah Joy, Tamara Braun, Eden Riegel, ... there could have been many possibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think Eden was too young, or at least presented that way. Is it the writing for Amelia people hate, or the actress? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spoon Posted October 12, 2022 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I think for both reasons but a little more for the actress. She's been phoning it in for awhile now and also the character herself has grown unlikable as well. I just think Tognoni would've hit the ball out of the park as Victoria and was horribly miscast as Phyllis.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hate to hear that! Well, that's a shame because she is a joy to watch when she suits the role. At GL her Dinah was as good as any originating Dinah & when she was at OLTL she was younger & maturing helped her but she was good there, too.

Members SteelCity Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 I agree she was miscast as Phyllis, but if it's the writing can you really blame the actress? Speaking of Phyllis, I still think Jamie Luner or Jennifer Bransford would have been great, especially Jennifer Bransford. She's got that same kind of harsh look and does bitch very well, and unpopular opinion, she's more likeable than Michelle Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 I love Gina but that wasn't Phyllis she was portraying in addition to the writing wasn't there. And I'm going to be honest I don't think she had much chemistry with Jason Thompson or Joshua Morrow. If anything, Jamie Luner or Melinda Clarke should've been cast as Phyllis instead.

Members Liberty City Posted October 13, 2022 Members Share Posted October 13, 2022 Tamara Braun would've made a killer Victoria Newman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 13, 2022 Members Share Posted October 13, 2022 Now, that would have done it. I would have had to start watching Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
