It is feeling suspicious; I cannot recall of a time when a cast member was replaced at a fan event like this.

Yup. Where's Dirty Soap when you need it.

Sounds like Mesure filmed up until the holiday break, and then upon returning, McKenna was tested/cast.

I could only hope... but probably ditched this disaster of a country as soon as he could.

Yup!

Of course, Frank will try and make the best of what has become a very awkward situation by giving us the hard sell on Carly and nuBrennan.  In the end, however, I don't think it'll make a bit of difference.  With this last-minute switcheroo, Brennan, along with the planned romance with Carly, is pretty much D.O.A.

Brennan was always DOA. He's a nothing character they elevated when they needed to give LW something to do.

Still, Chris McKenna will get some paychecks and he stays very busy as is, so this won't be an issue for his career.

Yeah. Unlike Laura and Chris can sell it...and I'm sure they will sell something because they are both good actors...it's a shame that these writers can't do nuances to save their lives and didn't pick up on the nuances in PM's run that would have made an actual Carly/Brennan/Anna triangle interesting to watch rather than something that turned out to not (immediately at any case) be DOA.

Because, the story I would have done - Carly begins a relationship with an African-American male - is literal poison to those people these days.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks
