BTG: First-ever role recast!


Recommended Posts

Let's not forget when this news broke. Without speculating about the reasons, which I am not doing at all, it's interesting that it broke at the end of business on a Friday.

Reminder: News. Dump. Friday.

Yes it was! haha. Taylor Anne Mountz (who I still prefer as Kay TBH) left after a year on the show, (7/5/99-8/2/00)  then they had Gina Marie May play the role for about a month (8/3/00-9/20/00) then Deanna Wright came on (9/25/00-10/6/03)

Camryn Grimes, Zulekya Silver, and Alison Lanier are the three ones I can name immediately off the top of my head.
 

Meanwhile both Hope and Steffy on B&B are both in their 40’s

Was that all there was? I literally swear reading about 5-6 different actresses but of course that may have been exaggerated lol.

Gina Marie May if I was recall was considered the worst daytime actress ever until Kit Paquin as month long Marina recast on GL and of course the notorious Charity Rahmer recast occurred on Days both in 2004.

Deanna Wright I recall supposedly quit over religious indifferences but later did attempt to be Mac on Y&R but lost out to Rachel Kimsey.

 Heidi Mueller played the role from 10/24/03 to the final episode. I think the amount of temp recasts they had made it seem like there were a lot more, and I think almost every main younger character was recast at some point? I know we had Nick Stabile and Priscilla Garita as a temp Fox and Theresa for like 2 months, LOL. 
 

I didn't know Deanna Wright auditioned for Mac...I would have liked to see that honestly!

Lol I was trying to think of good/decent actresses still on a soap today.

I do feel Matula has done better off daytime though. Keep in mind Matula spent her last year with Hope on drugs and sleeping with her husband’s brother in true trashy B&B fashion

 I do think her last couple years though were better, I guess because Hope wasn't constantly fighting with Steffy since JMW took a break towards the end of her run. Of course fighting over Liam and Wyatt wasn't any better. LOL

I've watched soaps for decades but I'm wary of recasting adult characters. Particularly when the original has made his stamp on the role. Yes it's only been a month but MJ's Ted was one of my favorites.

On UK soaps there is at least there is a last a significant period of time between recasts. On US soaps Actor #1 appears on a Wednesday and in comes Actor #2 on a Thursday.

Some of the original Y&R and B&B performers were very green but they stuck with them and for the most part the actors improved and the audience accepted them.

Only Judith Baldwin was quickly dropped as Beth on B&B.

Hopefully Maurice was on good terms with TPTB and it was mutual.

Because if they were making changes on who wasn't working a few others would be ahead in the line.

      OH BOY Moving on, Anita, so poignant. Will have to go back & get her lines. Summary: another great day in Fairmont Crest whistling, dragging toe in dirt, secret smile

    • BTG also has Uptown, but I really don't love that set.

    • For years I did NOT go by Laura's opinion of Luke. Today I certainly do not go by Laura's opinion that Sonny somehow is good for Port Charles. Actually when it comes to being a judge of people's characters, and the issue is Laura, I just remember Esme.
    • Good point. It would provide some conflict with Jack. As much as I am not interested in Claire, I don't find it difficult to understand why she might be a bit reluctant  to commit to a guy who has already been divorced twice or is  3 times?before he is 30. That's a natural obstacle that Claire would be hesitant about. But in GC every relationship is true love and various past marriages are forgotten.
    • He had no chance of getting on The Sopranos

      I’m in NYC, and I can’t help but wonder if NYC prosecutors, politicians, etc. ever felt the way that Laura did, back in the 80s-90s when they were taking down the mob.  “Oooh, don’t put John Gotti in prison. The guy who comes in after him might be worse” 
    • Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron/Jamey-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. I like that. 
    • Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc
