BTG: First-ever role recast!


Recommended Posts

Exactly! Ted?! He was one of the strongest additions to the cast outside of the core 4. Again, I really hope he wanted out b/c he couldn't handle the schedule. 

I just don't want this show to fall into tropes of fallen soaps. Yes, people will come and leave and roles will be recast; however, I don't want this show to have 349 Eva recasts in 2 years. I want this show to win so bad. 

But congrats to Keith. He is a solid actor and a good catch for the show.

I will say, based on recent events I've seen photos from of the past five-to-six years, he's older than the photo Deadline Hollywood provided. I think he's going to do well in the role, especially knowing his work pre-this role.

It's certainly not who I would recast and I think it's a pity but let's not pretend people acting shocked on Twitter is going to be some huge scandal. It is a recast on a new soap opera, it is not that serious lol.

How disappointing this wasn’t an Ashley, Derek, or Martin being replaced…

I peeped Keith in a behind the scenes video with Andre’s actor during premiere week, had no idea he’d be joining as the shows first recast lol. He is a great actor so I look forward to seeing his take on the role. Good luck to Maurice Johnson he’s been a good champion for the show and he worked well onscreen at least.

I don’t know what happened, but there was nothing wrong with Maurice and I am sad to see him go this soon. I hope it was his choice, but if it wasn’t, then the show made a mistake letting him go IMO.

I wish this new actor good luck though and I hope he does well.

Right. Breathlessly running back and forth between here and Twitter and saying 'omfg you guys this is serious' all the time based on some tweets you saw kind of makes you lose perspective. I don't particularly love Maurice Johnson being out but a recast on a new soap opera is not a major crisis.

It is strange. I wonder if it was about the workload because he's been very active on social media. Some actors just can't take it.

    • So I was reminded that we're now meant to be celebrating PRIDE by this amazing post:

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.

    • I still continue to think that Dani is written like she's been in a soap opera for 20 seasons and she's come to a point where she's completely spent storyline wise. It's a vibe I'm getting. Characterization wise... It's like she is either incredibly stupid... or just plain delusional and out of touch with reality. I choose to pick the second option. Also... to me... she has not been entertaining for months now. Ever since they decided to jump straight to... she's an alcoholic... which we didn't need at this point... the character has struggled. Her initial Ex-wife-from-hell bravado was more interesting, even though cliche.  I expect her to improve in the coming months... they used her as a clown type of character to draw in views. Now I need to see the human being. If there is one, behind the soap opera caricature.   
    • A full 1973 episode that looks fantastic in color.
    • It 's obviously cheaper to go the true crime route. Having different reporters and production teams covering a variety of topics costs more. The networks are delivering budget programming these days.
    • Maybe because 60 Minutes has kept the same formula for almost 57 years? Usually, there is more than one interview/topic discussed, like a real magazine. Dateline, 20/20, and so many others have all fallen to the one-subject formula: True crime. I mean, I'm a Forensic Files junkie and loved original America's Most Wanted back in the day, but even I think the TV market has been over-saturated with all crime, all the time. There was still that element when these shows began, but they were a segment of an episode, not the entire episode. Maybe the audience is just getting bored with such a fixed formula. If stories were intermixed with crime, some feel-good segment, and maybe something to do with lifestyle/music/and yes, as much as I have come to hate it, political issues, maybe these shows could rally. As they are - again, minus 60 Minutes - they have become tired and predictable.
    • Interesting tidbit- Robert Newman (Josh) dated Jennifer Cooke (Morgan) when they first started on Guidling Light (it was reported in the press and I think they talked about it in interviews). I did see (as a young kid) Rita having a flashback about Roger's rape of her --and it was confusing as a kid because she was on the floor leaning against her bed and she looked like she was seduced by force and her dress was in disarray, her hair was mussed, make up was a bit messy, but she looked at him with fear, disgust and confusion but the camera was in soft focus (so I get why people may say it was romanticized)--and I remember asking what happened to her and told well she is having nightmares/flashbacks of Roger not being nice to her
