That show is doing well despite my never having heard of it before last week. He will not be back!

I guess we won't be seeing Fen anymore either on YR.

Tinker will make his series debut this weekend with a special episode that airs immediately following the AFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 29. He plays Collin, a humble, charming, and talented probie firefighter. As the son of a famous firefighting hero, Collin carries a name that he’s constantly trying to live up to.

Is he a series regular?

“Days” screwed the pooch so bad here. He should be leading the new produced and written-for Peacock eppys with the other younger characters.

Anyway, very happy for his success! But very sad for myself that his Sonny is no longer locked on contract!

I believe he is a series regular.

The Deadline article says he "makes his debut" in the special Sunday Jan. 29 episode after the AFC Championship game. It doesn't say if he's series regular or not (and Deadline usually specifies if someone is).
The phrase "makes his debut" definitely indicates more than just a single guest episode.
So far, IMDB lists ZT in the Sun. Jan. 29 eppy plus the regular Fri. Feb. 3 episode.

I think YR screwed up with Tinker more than DAYS did. At least DAYS gave him something to do and let him shine on Beyond Salem (even though his stint on DAYS was underwhelming and pathetic.)

YR never let Tinker be front and center, and that was a huge mistake.

Nope, but that has been a sleeper hit show so he's off to better things.

I agree. He's had such potential with both characters so it's a shame.

Its just a shame that writers like carlivati keep losing talent because of their ineptness. They actually think Robert Scott Wilson has talent. I don't see anyone else giving him employment.

The only talent he appears to have now is when Ben was evil. Sadly.

This really sucks, but maybe it’s for the best. For Zach and for Sonny.

Zach is moving on to something bigger and Sonny is finally free from the albatross that is Leo!!

A Sonny/Leo pairing would have destroyed him

I agree with all that.

BTW, I wish we had a means of giving a LIKE to posts here -- instead of having to write a post to say "I agree."

Anybody else notice that the Friday episodes are usually ad-free?

I did like the witty banter between Eric and Sloan over clam chowder vs. chicken noodle soup. They were almost like a real couple. Idk about Roman shaming Sloan though. I get, defending your close friends and family but Sloan does have a pretty good grievance too. Btw, clam chowder is disgusting 😂😂

The best scenes were Tripp/Wendy/Johnny/Chanel/Allie. Allie is a horrible person and I hope Chanel dumps her ass (I can't believe we had to deal with her in every episode this week) Maybe if she came off as more hurt and sad rather than mean and nasty, she would be more likable.

But I am really liking the storyline. Chanel throwing Allie's cheating in her face was amazing. That was the best moment! And I still am loving the chemistry that Wendy has with Tripp and with Johnny. This is a great group and great storyline. It can go in so many different directions and weave in so many characters and I hope they play it for as long as they can.

Except for the devil crap, I really have been enjoying the show lately.

I've only seen Monday's episode. After hearing about the devil mess returning. I haven't bothered watching the rest of the week.

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

Maybe the three key Margo Hugheses on ATWT? There was a fourth like Bransford who didn't go over well, but the others were very distinctive and to my understanding popular.
Vicky Hudson on AW might be the same, though I have never cared much for Jensen Buchanan lol.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I thought the scenes between Britt and Jason were well done, so I'll give KT props for that at least. I agree it felt like she was asking too much of him. It's unrealistic to think Jason, of all people, would be 100% committed to anyone at this point and he actually shouldn't have to be when he's just offering help? Britt also has family that would be happy to help her, so it's not as if she's all alone in the world.
The whole Dalton murder and Britt/Sidwell connection is fine I suppose, but it feels like the show just scrapped Emma's only story. All the months she spent trying to get in good with Dalton yet she never cracked the case and now he's dead.

Your daily (or nightly) thought

That's great that you've found something to enjoy. I remember my first telenovela as a child - Rosalinda. I was obsessed. I was sooo little, practically a baby, but remember re-enacting scenes from the show, fake falling down the stairs like Rosalinda and fake-getting run by car like she was. I would recreate these hyper dramatic moments all day long. My father cringing every time he sees me. 😄

Cherie Jimenez as Gabi on Days. I am not sure if Camila Banus was ever super popular, but she led storyline and was on the show for years.
Not to veer off topic, but I am also quite fascinated by the Carly situation on GH. I know TB wasn't immediately accepted, while Laura was due to the Bransford situation, but it has to be rare to have such longevity and success with three separate actors in the role. Are there other roles/actors that have achieved that?

That was a messy story. I'm still waiting for Krista to write her tell all book. 😄

Thank you for reminding me! I think I know which ones you are referring to. It's just so hard to follow what is up and what gets taken down from YouTube. I think they've been cleaning a lot of channels due to this new streaming thing.
BTW, I was just watching again and I guess Susan Lucci was on hiatus, because Erica is nowhere to be seen. They left us on a cliffhanger and now I watch every episode expecting to see what happened with her and the clown. Manipulative writing.

D'oh! That makes sense. In that case, Jill Larson (AMC) as Opal. She had the additional advantage of the character being offscreen for a half-decade.

Kimberley is another, definitely, especially as she got to stand on her own with the Musketeers phasing out.
Those are the responses I was most interested in seeing, but I didn't want to make a lot of rules because I am enjoying seeing the different suggestions, even for people who were replacing lesser-known performers.

I'm interpreting this thread as focussing more on recasts that had to replace popular performers, and thus had to prove themselves rather than just taking the place of actors who hadn't made much of an impression or proven to very popular with viewers.
eg Michael O'Leary as Rick on GL replaced Phil McGregor but Phil hadn't made much of an impression in the role and that was why he was replaced in the first place.
