Smart move. No reason to kill off a legacy character ... just move him off screen with a mid-life crisis or whatever. Interesting and adds potential for tons of drama. The door is open for RM to return or a recast if he opts not to. Glad the character will not be killed off and also GLAD that KKL's Brooke will finally get a SL with a new love interest. Gonna be fun to see this play out. All this should make B&B interesting for some time to come!PraiseGodHeCanMoveMountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571746144822907096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-88071503970518290352012-08-14T15:33:31.133-04:002012-08-14T15:33:31.133-04:00Robert Kelker Kelly?

But he has a lot of the qualities that would make a great Ridge. I don't know if Reckell is glamorous enough, which is sort of a must for B&B. The reason his Bo Brady worked so well was that he really embodied that blue collar hero's charm. These are really interesting choices, though.

Bell i...That would be quite an interesting recast!<br /><br />Bell is just answering the questions he's being asked but he doesn't seem too broken up about this turn of events. Maybe he knows Moss won't really stay gone very long. Or he really is excited about a different actor playing this part.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-27376614306500198062012-08-14T15:07:30.659-04:002012-08-14T15:07:30.659-04:00I'd suggest Trevor St. John.

Not only will he fit the age range, talented, beautiful & experienced recasting major role before, but I think he could give the charachter of Ridge a new life, & the show as a whole could benefit a more intelligent mode.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313343760247491346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-31236325916897015392012-08-14T14:41:24.048-04:002012-08-14T14:41:24.048-04:00The recast comments?

But they need to be very, very careful. They need to allow time (which Bell appears to be willing to do), cast a talented and glamorous actor (note I said a talented one. Too many soaps have tried to cast lookalikes or models as recasts and failed miserably) and chemistry test the hell out of the recast. They need to make sure that the new actor has chemistry with KKL, Hunter Tylo, his kids, and his parents. So many times recasts bomb because the actors seems like a poor fit with the show at large, likely because they were cast alongside their next romantic partner only. I'm not a huge B&BB fan, but since Ridge and Moss are beloved, I hope they can work this out (a smaller pacycheck is better than no paycheck, and you can always do what Anthony Geary did, leverage that paycut into a new contract that allows you generous annual vacations instead of high pay), but if not, I advise them to go slow and then full-steam ahead with a recast. Just do it right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-2767591264813445962012-08-14T12:45:22.840-04:002012-08-14T12:45:22.840-04:00I don't care who plays him!
