Enough time has passed where I think they can recast Olivia - but they probably don't care and Josh Griffith would never do the character justice anyway. 

[John]

I could see JG trying to recast with someone 10-15 years younger. Maybe like Brook Kerr if she ever left GH 

[Liberty City]

YUP! Exactly.

[Faulkner]

Two words: Amelia Marshall.

[Liberty City]

If she isn't cast into The Gates, then sure. Unfamiliar with her work but know her appreciation of the medium.

[Manny]

I don't watch Y&R anymore, but I used to love Olivia and she is someone that I think should definitely be on the show.

How about Tonya Pinkins? I enjoyed her a lot on AMC back in the day.

Why would he recast with someone that young?

[John]

He's done it before. From Stephen Nichols to Trevor St John for example

They look close enough in age, John.

[John]

We can agree to disagree plus with the recasting he shaved 20 years off Tucker

[BoldRestless]

It's a shame they wasted Debbi Morgan on that YoHarmony mess.

Nothing's stopping them...

  Since Victoria's daughter now looks like Ashley's daughter, why wouldn't Nate's mom look like Devon's mom?
