Members Xanthe Posted January 26 Members Share Posted January 26 It's not in the same category because Reginald was not created for John Considine (in fact he was an emergency replacement for the actor they originally hired) but the actor did play Vic Hastings in the 70s before returning in the 80s as Reginald. And of course Beverlee McKinsey played Emma for a few days before being cast as Iris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 GL - Bradley Cole playing Prince Richard and then Jeffrey. I leave it up to others to decide if it worked since I preferred Edmund/DAM anyway. AMC borrowed from GH and created Dr. Alex Devane to be the "late" Anna's twin sister before reviving Anna. I don't think she was a total flop but I may be biased because I always liked Finola Hughes. Out of curiosity, since I stopped watching GH 2 decades ago, did they ever acknowledge there that Anna had a twin sister? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 They did a full storyline involving Alex Marick and completely, from what I have read, 180'd the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) Nearly 27 years later, and people still wish Wayne Northrop could reclaim the role... Edited January 29 by Gray Bunny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) Yeah Jeffrey sucked, and no way he should have lasted that long (until the show's cancellation and being paired up with Reva made it worse). Taggart and Co. were right to kill off Richard the first time around. And it's funny how Richard was brought back in the form of Jeffrey to appease RASSIE fans, but for a majority of Jeffrey's run the show spent pairing him up with everyone except Cassie. (They briefly hooked up but it was blink and you miss it kind of thing) Edited January 29 by MichaelGL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 Did they ever try pairing Bradley Cole's Jeffrey with Nicole Forester's Cassie? I can't recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Janet Marlowe Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) Kitty/Kelly from All My Children was successful. Cindy's twin, Karen (also played by Ellen Wheeler), not so much... but, supposedly, if you believe the comments to this YT video, EW left of her own volition (I had assumed AMC dropped the character - writing her blackmailing Adam over what he did to Dixie, as well as Karen kidnapping Junior).

Members MichaelGL Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 My memory is foggy around this time period, but I don't believe they ever did. When NF took over I recall she was in the middle of that abysmal pairing with Josh, which to be honest I would've taken Jeffrey/Cassie over Josh/Cassie just to avoid the character assassination. The show was laser focused on making Josh/Cassie work, and then they started focusing on Josh becoming a reverend; while the show tried to pair Jeffrey with Blake and Mel, before settling on Reva. I get just seasick recalling those all those ridiculous pairings under Wheeler and Co. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 Ah, okay. I think Cole & Forester could have worked, honestly. Had it been Wright... I don't know. But, to think, Wheeler and co. tried selling the Cassie / Josh pairing to Wright to get her to stay. SMFH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 I would sign a petition immediately! But nah. He’s too good for that show by now lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 (edited) Jeffrey O'Neil was beyond unpopular with the bulk of the audience from what I recall. But he also had that very vocal segment of Bradley Cole fanatics who snowed execs in the early online era, so there we were.

Members Khan Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 (edited) Correct! I'll never stop thanking Millee Taggart for having the guts to kill off Richard, even if it was all for naught. Edited January 30 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 I never thought I'd be one of those fans but here we are 20 years later and I'm still missing Heather Tom as Victoria. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
