BTG: First-ever role recast!


Recommended Posts

Do we think Keith Robinson was always the the first choice for Ted but wasn't available for the first 3 months of taping? If the show wanted Robinson to be Ted badly enough, maybe Maurice Johnson was meant to be a temporary fill-in from the start.

Yeah, that was no small accomplishment!

I realized most of the SB stuff was moved to the proper thread in the Cancelled Soaps folder. Apologies for the derailment.

So, to try and keep on topic, hopefully, the chemistry will be there, too, for Karla Moseley and the new actor. As above, chemistry with recasts can be a crap shoot.

One important thing about all of the buzz this has caused is that it's shown the show has a passionate fanbase. For a new soap I do think all of this attention is impressive and a good sign that they have a diverse and unique fanbase for a soap. The amount of people I've seen ask what a recast means has been kinda funny but also nice because it means they're bringing a new audience to soaps.

Yeah, exactly. That's what is surprising me so much, yet not entirely given it has finally, actively courted Black viewership - it is genuinely garnering an all-new audience unused to these basic daytime BTS changes.

Characters like Dani, Hayley, Eva and Dana, etc. being so polarizing is equally good.

I may be in a minority, but I am not that attached to the character yet. I've only seen him in 2-3 more interesting scenes and the rest has been just... a handsome man walking around in a turtleneck making girls and gays swoon. That's all. I think some people around the internet want there to be drama where there isn't. I've left jobs, just because something doesn't align with my schedule... Sometimes it's just personal life stuff changing your priorities. There can be a million and one things that can lead to a re-cast. There is not a single sign that the show is "disposing" of him or treating him badly... like some people are speculating. I am not saying you can't speculate - there just isn't any proof of that. Give me proof and we'll talk. 

Also... I struggle to understand the emotional outbursts in facebook and some other places of social media. People are acting like it's Brooke Logan being re-cast on The Bold and The Beautiful after 40 years. LOL. I'm not opposed to them... (the reactions), just don't "get them". I also don't want this to follow like a shadow... the new actor who is going to play Ted. He doesn't deserve for people to continue harping on this issue for months. I hope not.

Yup! People can get emotional as much as they want. If they want... they can get into mental breakdowns for all I care... But I'm also seeing lies and people spreading gossip that the show is disposing of him or that the show treated him badly. And their proof is re-tweets on twitter or... "they feel like this happened".

Just because we imagine something, doesn't mean it happened.
