BTG: First-ever role recast!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

One of the "Stunt: Recast Reveal" video clips that I have is the Russian version of going from Terry Lester to Gordon Thompson. Dash punches Mason & he goes down. When he comes up it's Gordon instead of Terry. (Who was the one who went down) I enjoy all of these fun clips but one of my favorite things about this one is Julia being dubbed in Russian.

Ted currently looks like an older version of them. A ommon mistake in the first week was people getting him confused with them. If age is why you dont think they look alike, well the new actors is older and looks it. He and the ones that play Jacob and Andrew do not look th same age

I feel for Jen Jacob because she's an undeniably good actress who has multiple examples of her doing good work. I feel like she's trying as hard as she can and is successful with anybody except Derek but because the majority of her scenes are with Derek she's being dragged down by him. 

In order to make Derek work you'd have to have someone like a younger Heather Tom or Sarah Brown who can pull something out of you be the sheer force of their talent. I don't think she's in a fair situation as long as she has to work with him.

If you look at RKK as Sam Fowler on AW & then at the entire rest of his life, you may think, Huh? What happened? And, DAYS was so concerned about a recast Bo that they had a makeover done on RKK to make him look as much like Peter Reckell did at that moment, as possible. Then, that turned into the look RKK has worn for the whole rest of his life.

I see it. The more comfortable she has grown in the role, it's clear she's a good actress. She even reminds me of a friend of mine with her acting. I do feel she's been lumped in with the actor who plays Derek. And even with that, I feel he's (too slow) growing into his role. In fact, he screams 'actor who is only good if he is playing psycho a la RSW on DAYS' to me. Or any actor or actress who can't play a good character because they come across as bland/boring but give them crazy/evil and they bloom. That's what my instinct tells me at least. 

 

 

I was more thinking of the cases for Kate Roberts and Billie Reed where they both had periods of time off canvas between recasts. And I think Austin was the only 'sudden' recast in that period of major character recasts. But it's been a loooong time since I thought about it, but remember it discussed in SOD. I want to say it even made the BEST&WORST that year. I could be wrong.

 

I was not watching regularly during RKK taking over for Bo and Peter Reckell reclaiming the role so I cannot speak on that too much.

See? This is the first picture I've seen that is giving Ted to me.

Yeah he's retweeting a variety of comments.  
That fits his pattern in that, during the past month he has frequently retweeted viewer comments about the show and about Ted, regardless of whatever opinions/likes/dislikes the viewers had about what the character Ted was doing.

I believe there was sufficient time in between last Reckell & first RKK. It was 2 months. They did the makeover as I mentioned & then the recast reveal was at a fancy dress masked ball that Vivian Allamain threw & then RKK was considered one of the most successful recasts.

The problem with NO TIME in between is obvious because it's jarring.

    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
    • Y&R: 10% good, 90% garbage time BtG: 90% good, 10% garbage time
    • Valid question. Decades ago I didn't understand how this works, but then I learned.  But I never saw her as a romantic lead anyhow. I still dislike rapist Chelsea on Y&R.  And that show pairing her with her victim was just awful.
    • Oh yes I tuned back in once Ron was gone and have been enjoying what I’ve been seeing so far. This upcoming week is probably going to have me bawling though! As far Y&R I may a little harsh haha but the month started off with Summer’s abrupt departure (You go AL!!!) and it’s been downhill ever since. The one bright spot has been MM’s return along with Traci and Ashley returning to reflect, otherwise I felt the month as a whole was cumbersome to get through, especially since there wasn’t any momentum when there should have been.
    • from her nytime obit: ”Ms. Mahaffey had worked steadily over the past five decades, starting out on the NBC daytime soap opera, “The Doctors,” for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in 1980.”
    • Do people have the same problem with Sami and Kristen being rapists who have been married several times? I don't often deal in moral equivalencies, because we would obviously need to consider their relative capacity to overpower a man's ability to consent.  But, their motives were similar to EJ's. Honestly just wondering since the EJ thing has never been an issue for me.
    • Thank you!!! You knew I was coming.

       But it just seem like a pretty good one from what I've seen so far on the majority of the soaps. I'm just sorry that I'm so behind. lol.    I'm loving the DAYS praise since I'm still approaching mid-May. I am liking the new writers so far.    That said...oooooo you gave Y&R an F? I admit...I've not been liking it much either, but I am still surprised. Thank you!!!

      I only liked Ejabby for the sole purpose of breaking and freeing Sami from her rapist. They had Chem out the a@@ and it was messy fun until they tried to make it more then it needed to be. KM Abigail was more like MA Jack so her being a messy smug thot wasn't much of a stretch. I didn't really take to her Abigail until the Ben/Chad affair and the Cabin abs is a serial killer story for the 50th.
