B&B: Character Recast!

[Liberty City]

I'd say when she did gain some weight it settled out. Her look in this opening is when it worked for me:

The hair. The styling. The makeup. A more full face. It just looked nice on her.

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!

Truthfully, I don't see her returning with Bradley Bell there. Home girl was very vocal on social media during her last run, and even her Likes (when public) proved there was something going on behind-the-scenes.

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.

Those scenes were bad; Tylo's last return was bad. It wasn't even good acting. It was everything people hate about daytime. It really was.

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.

I like the Jagger recast, sorry lol
