Characters that should've been recast

[John]

Yes JY

lol!  Reading comprehension is not my friend tonight.  I don't think JY is doing anyone a favor by casually saying he might come back for a few episodes.  Wasn't he basically universally reviled as Lucky?  But.......in his defense he has no chem with LIz and had that weird Summer story with Luke that was awful.  

[Liberty City]

I just think Jacob Young is done with soaps; if he were to return to a soap role, I think it'd be JR Chandler. I don't see Lucky or Rick happening again for him.

[SteelCity]

Well, after Rick got shafted to hell last time, I can't say I blame him.

[Planet Soap]

Do you guys think Greg Vaugn could ever fit back into the role? 

Is Robert Kelker Kelly done with soaps? Could they not have brought him back as Bo all those years when Peter was gone?

I think JJ's Lucky has been gone long enough for GV to be fine.  He played such a different Lucky, but his Lucky is better than no Lucky at all.

[Liberty City]

I think he could, but I don't believe he would... if that makes sense?

[SteelCity]

I preferred Greg's Lucky. Jonathan Jackson always came across as an insolent child.

During BE's maternity leave in the early 2000s, they hired a capable and I think charismatic actress to temp for her, the actress's name escapes me, but they should have brought her back when BE vacated the role.

Actor History

Beth Ehlers (Originated role; September 1987 to September 28, 1993; January 21 to January 30, 1997; May 29, 1997 to June 23, 2008)

Amy Carlson (filled in November 9th through 12, 1998)

Hayley Sparks (filled in during Ehlers' maternity leaves; May 5, to July 30, 1999; July 18 to August 3, 2001; August 25 and 26, 2002)

They should've SORAS both Zach and Jude since Leah who was born years after them was now a teenage while those kids were still in elementary school made no sense. They could've had Zach and Jude stay with Buzz and built them up with the teen scene until they found a recast for Harley.

Yep, Hayley Sparks! Thanks!
