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.

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
