I still think and believe that role will be FINISHED by Hunter some day. That woman always returns. I do hope her next return isn't after yet another death, though! Who knows what would come out of that grave next time!

Years and years ago she gave some pretty disturbing interviews to Europe media. I have to search and find them... I was in my early teens when I read them on the internet. They still took her back.

 BTW - Taylor fans and Hunter fans were MILLIONS back in the day. It's so sad and so pathetic what Bradley did (and still doing) to these fans. He completely destroyed Taylor's dignity turning her into a mentally unstable freak, then invited Krista only to fire her after an Emmy nomination. Now... he hired a girl, that is as far away from Taylor's characteristics as can be.

 

Here is Hunter Tylo's Taylor having to beg Brooke, holding her legs... on her knees on the floor. Hunter was gone 2 months after this scene. I would be too.

I don't want to roast Hunter, since that woman has had enough roasting from the show through the years... but ever since... 2005 and most evidently after 2009... something happened to her acting. I suspect it was the fillers and botox not allowing her to emote, so she started shaking her head and whole body, thrusting forward while screaming and making strange hand movements. The horrible scripts in which she had to beg Ridge practically every month to choose her... didn't help. By 2018, it was CRINGE. If we compare Hunter in 2018 to Hunter in 1990, I think most people who don't want the show will say these are two different people.  Sad.

I'm watching the early years, currently in 1993 and I don't think Hunter was ever a great actress. She was beautiful and charismatic like Ronn Moss and they both worked in their roles, but they didn't have a ton to offer in terms of acting ability.

Rebecca Budig on B&B isn't a horrible idea. I could see her as Kristen (written like her original run) or even Felicia. She does well in those spitfire roles. They could've even made her Kimberly. I just don't think she physically comes off like Taylor or a mother to 40 year old kids with grandkids. I also can't see her playing a straight heroine like that. Casting her as Taylor is taking away all of the things she's known for.

Honestly, it is the year of sad recasts

 

And, yes, I know all about Sabato's behavior, but at least there was swagger, which Harrington lacks in his portrayal.

This recast is just as "weird," they could have brought Budig as a back from the dead Phoebe... It would have been less distracting.

    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
