Haha NO! I wouldn't do that. Tognoni is still prime Skye for me, although, I do have other ideas for that role's recast. Brenda, for me, should not be a role that is recast. Either Vanessa Marcil can pop-in for a limited-run guest return or another one-year tenure. IF and I do mean a major IF Brenda were to be recast it would be a daunting task, and one I would not wish on a single soul.

I'm with you for a varying amount of reasons!

I was kidding of course.  It would be an epic fail to recast Brenda with practically anyone-even a better actress.   Vanessa just is Brenda.  And the daunting task of trying to find someone else with romantic chemistry with MB these days would just be too much effort lol.

I used to think that of Carly, but they still ended up recasting her THREE times. If they can recast Edward Quartermaine, they can recast anyone no matter how much of a reach it might be. I don't agree with recasting, however, to be clear.

I am not saying you couldn't recast.  I just can't think of anyone that would make it work.  And with Carly they moved quite quickly with recasts and did a great job with casting.  Vanessa has been the only Brenda for 30 years on and off.  As far as Edward, I think it's a lot easier to accept a recast when the original portrayer retired or entirely moved on.

I have no doubt she'll eventually show up.

That would have been a fail and I don't think there was any real fear of a Brenda recast coming to fruition.  Probably just a scare tactic to secure Vanessa at some point.

Ha!  I just said the same thing.

Oh, lmao! Then we'd have no television shows on TV, especially not a single soap opera. So funny!

As a side note, I find this annoying:

  • Antonio Sabato Jr
  • Antonio Sabato, Jr
  • Antonio Sabato, Jr.
  • Antonio Sabáto Jr
  • Antonio Sabáto, Jr
  • Antonio Sabáto, Jr.

To be clear, I'm referencing how said person seemingly does not know how they want to spell their name on any given day. The bolded versions are the most common ones used by said person. The others are just the proper grammatical variations of it.

Oh, and they also use Antonio Sabato Jr. on their new book's cover, so I guess that's a third variation they use now.

Does anyone else find it interesting how one Adam (character) exits as another Adam (actor) joins? 

Joshua Benard is done at GH as Adam (for now) as Adam J. Harrington joins GH as a recast John Cates.

BTW: John is Adam Harrington's middle name.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
