ALL: Recasts who seemed like a different character.


Recommended Posts

Tracy Melchior as NuLily is a chilling thought. She's far worse than Noelle Beck, who actually has talent even if the recast was so awkward to watch and poorly handled. I remember her Kelly on OLTL, which was totally unrecognizable and felt like a temp.

BOLD

Hunter Tylo's Taylor was more glamorous and more dramatic. The character was rarely funny and had seriousness and dept about her. On the positive - she was striking as can be, on the negative she seemed little judgmental. 

Krista Allen's Taylor was more realistic, sharp and funnier Taylor. The character didn't seem as dark or troubled then the previous casting, had an ease and lightness about her. On the negative - at time she felt like she was part of another show.

Bold:

Donna Logan:  Carrie Mitchum's Donna was impulsive, but wasn't campy at all.   Her Donna seemed like a realistic character that you would see in day to day life in the 80s/early 90s.. she served as a good balance between Brooke and Katie's characteristics.   Jennifer G's Donna was a completely different character except that her Donna also didn't strive for Stephanie's approval just like Carrie's Donna.

Katie Logan:  The original Katie was shy and sweet, while Heather Tom's Katie is almost cold.  She would have made a better Donna Logan recast.

Sadly it's true. Something happened to Hunter through the years and her acting really was becoming laughable. The hysterical hand gestures and head moving. I don't want to plastic surgery shame, since I love her and I LOVE THE OG Taylor 1990-2002... but... I think after she came back from the dead in 2005...  the dead came back with her, if you know what I mean. That face struggled to convey emotion. Krista really REVIVED Taylor back to living.

I don't want to shame her (re: surgery) either, but it really did change everything about her. She was one of the most stunning women in daytime and she just.... didn't see it in herself. Then she gained some weight in her face and it worked, but she did more work and it changed. The last return (as a blonde) felt like a caricature of Taylor, and it was so off-putting, and it seems her take on social media is that it wasn't what she wanted, either.

Allen REVIVED Taylor, yes. By that point I wasn't watching, but also looked for her scenes and felt she did an amazing job with some really s**t material.

She really did and she added so much characterization that I know wasn't written for her, since B-B isn't capable of it. That's why I hinted that she seemed like from another show. It felt strange to have her act out this bizarre crap Bradley was writing. But she made every bad script work and made Taylor SO likeable. I believe if she continued on, she would have gotten Emmy in a year or two. Maybe they knew that.

    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
    • Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited. 
    • Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.
    • The casino scenes came out of nowhere in comparison to the rest of the week, but at least there was some movement in the storyline. Joey has really made a fool of Vanessa. Chelsea is really embarrassing herself with this doctor. The desperation is so obvious and she clearly gets that from Dani. Hayley was giving Donna Logan vibes because that is how Donna acted when Eric had a heart attack. Stealing potential evidence is not going to reflect well on Kat and might throw the case against Leslie. Tomas had no business in Eva's hotel room even if he did shut down her advances. But I think they still might end up together at some point because the book that Eva gave him is the same one Kat called basic which seemed like foreshadowing.
    • So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind.    Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it 
    • Eve and Thomas have so much in common--they both like reading (print and audio books) and wow they both like reading *fiction*!  (Also I would never pick up a book called Mercy and Goodness yawn
