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.

    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • 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
