Yeah, Y&R is becoming B&B of the mid-2000's. What next, Mario Lopez as a recast Raul? 

MAGA can stay off the set, please.

Brooks Prentiss!!!

Oh dear God in heaven...noooooooooooooooo!🤮

We need an attractive, charismatic and likeable actor in such an important role (important in the sense that it would open the door for the Brooks family's renewed presence in Genoa City).

After the painful debacle of Howarth as Paul Ryan on ATWT (Scott Holroyd had been perfect in the role), the thought of RH representing the Brooks family makes me nauseous.

JMHO.

Which I STILL have not forgive ATWT for in my limited time as a regular viewer. Loved Scott Holroyd.

ICAM, it was a joke lol. Everytime a "star" joins Y&R I say that they will be playing Brooks Prentiss or Jennifer Foster. Besides Josh Griffith would kill off Brooks after six months.

Yes, I figured you were joking. I've seen your posts enough to know that you are far too erudite to advocate for RH playing a descendent of the show's original founding family. My response was tongue-in-cheek flippancy. (To be fair, however, even the thought of Howarth joining the already-decimated show does make me cringe.)

I watched ATWT for its last 47 years, and the dreadful miscasting in its final stretch was a nightmare. Scott Holroyd was gold to RH's cheese.

I shiver remembering some of those miscasting. Compared to Scott Holroyd...to me as a teenager a dashing gentleman in a suit with a past he managed to move beyond...RH's version was a buffoon. RH at least is so much capable of more than that given his history at OLTL (both versions)

At least it's not GH Again, though #firefrank will grab him when his role tanks on Y&R.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Ellen Dolan was my least-favorite  Margo on ATWT. I found her cold and brittle, and could never warm up to her. That being said, even I would admit she was a better recast than some of the actors chosen as NuConnor, nuPaul, NuDusty, NuMeg, NuCraig, etc.

Bringing this back to Y&R, I'll always consider PB as NuJack. Victoria Mallory was a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel, but her version of Leslie Brooks lacked the deep, emotional core that Janice Lynde had displayed in the role. Lynn Topping and David Hasselhoff ended up being perfectly adequate as Chris Brooks and Snapper Foster, but original actors Trish Stewart and William Gray Espy exuded magnetic star appeal in those parts, and couldn't be successfully replaced IMO. Forget Wings Hauser as NuGreg, Patricia Everly as NuPeggy and Dennis Cole as NuLance too.😬

This show is more and more becoming The Middle-Aged and the Restless. There is basically ZERO young on the show anymore. I mean, who's the "youngest" character....Claire????
