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.

    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • Could Nikki just be a big Gram Parsons fan? I think it works for Julie, but they should be doing better by Traci - none of this, from hair to wardrobe, is flattering.
    • To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.
