I freaking loved Deborah Adair as Kate and it took me a while to warm up to Lauren Koslow. But once I stopped being bitter I saw that LK was amazing. That was an example of a flawless recast.

I think Days (eventually) did well with recasting the entire group.

JP's Billie overshadowed the other Billies.

I really loved Deborah Adair too! It definitely took some time to get used to LK in the role.
This was a great time on the show!

Are Billie and Austin older than Lucas? And if Kate was a professional woman how did she turn into a prostitute?

I believe Billie and Austin are older than Lucas....and Kate was a prostitute before her current incarnation as a professional woman, yes? I am hazy on her character's past.

Kate was married to Curtis Reed and had two children: Austin and Billie (Curtis later changed their names to this to hide them from Kate). Curtis became a drunk/bad guy and would beat on her. She has an affair with Bill Horton which led to Lucas. (Not sure if she was already away from Curtis or still with him.) In Lucas' early life she became a prostitute and that's how she met Stefano. Thanks to him, she was able to stop being a hooker and he gave her the money to send Lucas to a private school. (I think it military).
That's all I remember.

Kate and Curtis were still together when she conceived Lucas. He took the older kids away (and lead Kate to believe they'd been killed) to punish her for the affair.

Thanks guys for the background information. I really hate prostitute stories. Days seems to have a prostitution and rape fetish.

Was Curtis et al's original last name "Brown", but then he changed it to "Reed"? Also, Kate was sorta retro-inserted into established DAYS history to replace an actual character who existed, but wasn't exactly Kate Roberts. In the late 1970s, Bill had an affair with anesthesiologist Kate Winograd shortly before the storyline when Laura went off the deep end. Although I don't think it was ever confirmed by JER, it's pretty much accepted that he replaced Kate Winograd with Kate Roberts in DAYS cannon and tied Laura's breakdown to the affair (which isn't exactly what happened in the original story).

Best Reed family... Best Billie, best Austin, best Kate!

And I know that Austin was older than Billie, but when I found that out I was kind of shocked because Billie always struck me as years older than Austin.

This was from the era I started watching Days every day and not only on summer breaks from school, so I have fond memories all three of these characters and the Curtis storyline. Well maybe not Billie as much, but I've never really been a Lisa Rinna fan. Deborah Adair was amazing in this role, but like so many others, over time, I grew to love Lauren's Kate.

I agree with others who said Julie Pinson was their favorite Billie recast. I could not stand Skinimax soft-core porn star Krista Allen in the role! While Rinna had great chemistry with RKK, I had a hard time watching her and Allen's Billie with PR's Bo. I'd be ok with JP's Billie coming back to Salem, but we already have too many women in that age group on the canvas.

I also grew to like Austin Peck as an Austin recast, but let's be honest, that recast completely changed the characters. I hated Muldoon's Austin that came back in 2011 and this latest incarnation of Austin and Billie seemed to me like, wow here are couple old people clumsily interacting with an actress only 10 years older than them playing their mother.

Lastly, it sure would be nice to have Kate, Roman, Marlena or Lucas mention Austin, Carrie, and the baby at least once. I thought for sure when Kate was on the phone with Billie at Christmas she would have mentioned it.

Lauren is only a year younger than Deborah, so the age differences are virtually the same. Was it just the acting this time, the writing or was it that Lauren just hasn't seemed to age while PM & LR have matured? I just didn't buy the LR & LK thing, but I could buy PM & LK.

I agree about the baby tho. You would think they could have at least acknowledged the birth of the baby.
