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.

Frantz got the last laugh landing at BB two months after being let go at SUBE. Her replacement Jennifer Banko was a snoze. SUBE dumped the character 3 months later.

I believe at Passions they recast Jessica was their first but Mary Elizabeth Winstead quit

Thanks. I thought there was a Hank recast but maybe not.

I am derailing the thread so I'm going to stop - apologies.

I just hope he has the chemistry with DP and the actress who plays Leslie like Maurice does 

Maurice had EXCELLENT chemistry with both. I really hope the new guy can as well. I really hate recasts most of the time.

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’m with you on all of this. Never seen Keith before though.

@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".

At the Paley Center event Sheila Ducksworth said they had just filmed the last week of April, so Ted must've been recast before the show premiered.

At SB the revolving door that was CC and  Santana.

The character of Santana never recovered from being recast. All the actresses in the role were good but the original was perfect for the role and the only one who was interesting. I was very disappointed to see her go when I watched the show in recent years.

I've recently begun Sunset Beach and I actually just got to Tiffany's recasts exit. It's very bizarre because they didn't even try to make her work. I don't understand why they didn't just let Adrienne Frantz play out what we left for that character. She was great on the show but it was a blessing in disguise because she got 15 years of work from the Bell's once she got fired.

Not who I would've picked. I'm surprised. Friday is apparently pink slip day. Makes sense, though, you don't want a disgruntled ex-employee hanging around all week. Method to the madness & I do think they must be a little mad to dump Ted, not Derek or Martin. As a fan I am concerned.

Hank was recast but the recast of Jessica and Kay were before Hank

Absolutely; everyone post-Ava Lazar just kept getting lost, and the writing kept getting worse and worse for the role. The only one that came even relatively close was Margaret Michaels but, by that time, it was too late.

He's solid. 

I forgot he was in Dreamgirls (the movie), too. 

I'd happily take daddyTed as a Jonah Carver recast on DAYS. This is a damn shame. I hate recasts, but it is what it is. I don't know anything about this guy they're bringing in, but I wonder if it could be because Maurice Johnson was too likable and MVJ is set on having Ted become a surprise villain? Johnson made it very easy to buy that Leslie would lose her mind over losing him. Hopefully we hear from Maurice Johnson soon and he'll soften the blow.

This is all part of my master plan to bring Maurice Johnson to GH as NuJustus while in no way employed by the soaps.

But in all seriousness, it is an odd change and I do have to wonder if it's down to his simply not being up for the daytime taping grind.

You'll hate me for saying this, but I realized watching the other week that Brandon Claybon's voice reminds me so much of how Joseph C. Phillips speaks. Obviously, the latter is a talent, and somehow Claybon feels completely unnatural, but I had to share that niggling thought.

Some of these new soap fans wouldn't have made it back in the day when GH had four or five Dawns in 18 months, all the various AJs, and lord knows how many versions of Lucas. Recasts are just going to happen lol.

I haven't really watched any of this show, but the one time I saw him, he was good. I have to imagine he just wasn't up for the grind.

I think GH fans would be fine, particularly as we had three Kristina's in 2023 alone.

I’m pretty shocked…not gonna lie! There was nothing wrong with the actor playing Ted so I’m curious if there’s a reason why? 
 

also was hoping it was Derek too! 

I don't think Derek is going to be recast because I think it's clear he's only going to be around for storyline dictated reasons and will be naturally be gone sooner rather than later.
