The Hillary flashbacks 😭😭. I loved Devon and Hillary so so much.

I saw the last ten minutes of today's show. I actually liked the Adam and Frat Boy scenes. Phyliss still in hiding and leaving in a disguise so obvious was downright stupid and ridiculous! Anyone would notice her right away.

This is the same town of idiots that didn’t notice Phyllis standing in front of them at her own memorial service because somehow a wig and glasses completely changed her face except it didn’t.

If anything a big floppy hat and sunglasses inside would make you MORE noticeable...

Staff claimed that her castmates didn't even recognize her when they were taping the memorial scenes - hun, they just used it as an excuse to ignore you.

Someday I’ll really get to the root of why this show has made zero investment in the character of Noah Newman. I was reading the history/backstory of Audra Charles and it seems like her entire relationship with Noah took place offscreen? It actually could have been an interesting one for Noah. Even seeing this triangle with Adam, Sally and Nick, I can’t help but think it would have been more interesting if it were Adam, Sally and Noah. Putting casting quirks for a moment, because no matter who portrays him, the pairings and stories for Noah haven’t been good since he reached adulthood.

I guess this show has really given up on cultivating a new generation?

One of the problems to me was that Noah and Abby were aged too soon.

Especially with Noah as his father had been drastically SORASED only 10 years earlier and there was no need for Noah to become a teen so soon. It just put 3 generations of the family -Victor/Nick/Noah all fighting for frontburner stories.

Then casting Robert Adamson who looked way too old for the role was another issue plus the overall reluctance to commit to Noah as a character.

The latest go round with Noah/Allie was puzzling as there was potential but they were so blandly written.

Obviously some BTS stuff saw them sidelined.

I'm shocked they're actually showing a classic they haven't shown before! Nice.

I wonder since it features John Abbott that's why given the tribute episode they did for him

We do have the original broadcast in the vault but that’s so great they are showing it!

Lol..at least B&B has plenty of their classics on their offficial site and video land etc….but Bradley is still proving to be as clueless as ever when it comes to what he considers classic 😂😂

Is this the episode where Victor schools an unpatriotic man in the importance of 4th of July while having dinner with Ashley at Gina’s?

And yes haha Thudley hates classics unless it’s an Lame wedding or something 😂

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.
