Let them have their fun and shock...since most are not the normal soap audience and probably aren't used to a recast. 

As for the rest of us...I know we are going to meet that sexy tall man in a turtleneck.

At least they've popped the cherry and can now recast Martin and recast/dump Derek or Ashley. But I could understand staggering cast changes, i.e. the mention of Santa Barbara. You don't want to end up in a Ryan's Hope situation either, where it didn't happen as fast but they kept changing actors.

It's also been so long since most new soap debuts that we forget about the early changes at certain shows. I'd been thinking about this history for some time while wondering who BTG would cut first. AMC dumped the first Ann Tyler very quickly (maybe before air?) as well as several Lincs, and OLTL's first Viki never went to air at all despite promos along with swapping out Larry and Meredith in a matter of months. I'm sure many other shows have other examples.

I mostly thought of Irna because of P&G, admittedly.

I was trying to think of when Sunset Beach fired Ashley Hamilton and Adrienne Frantz. There may have been something at Passions (I don't believe there was at PC in the first month) but it was the only other one in recent decades that sprung to mind.

I remember the stories about Hamilton being a partying nightmare. I'd forgotten all about Frantz.

I don't remember any early recasts at PSSNS, even though virtually half the cast should've been gone.

@detroitpiston That's interesting that you spotted Keith D. Robinson behind-the-scenes during premiere week, thanks for the pic.

In one of the interviews before BTG debuted, it was said that there's a three-month tape-to-airdate gap. 

I wonder if Ted was already recast before the character debuted?  In which case it's interesting that Maurice Johnson has been tweeting support of the show and his character Ted daily.

(wondering? )  perhaps Keith D. Robinson was on the set for some minor dayplayer role, which is why he was visible in that pic, and then more recently he was moved into being a Ted recast?  I have no idea what actually happened.  Just trying to come up with possible theories.

Deadline says Keith D. Robinson's "first episodes are scheduled to begin airing in May".

    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
    • Angry Dante was hot; sorry, but I'm not going to pretend it wasn't awesome seeing Dominic Zamprogna act his ass off in a way that was not crying.
    • Thanks, interesting and so believable (no Lonatrat or Clones...)Instead of the Lewis family he should have made the Oil family Granger...even if the audience didn't remember that one off character it would have been interesting to tie it into the fictional GL world.
    • Dante needs stick removed from his butt
    • When you bring up what I like to call "Shapiro's Folly" you think Dano's acting choices mattered? I ask because I don't think so. As far as I could tell almost universally the ABC fans hated the very idea of her being on all 4 shows! And, BTW, the headwriters also hated it, at least according to comments made by Passanante. But, it is not hard to imagine that they'd feel that way. And, I agreed. If she wanted success she should have planted "Rae" on one & given up her idea of branding, or whatever it was that she was after.
