I am not familiar with the actress because I never have watched GH, but based on pictures online, I would totally see them bringing her on as Abigail. There are similarities in their looks, and even if she is older than Billy, she looks young. Abby also was considered a lead actress in 2015 with their story, and I assume that's appealing as well here. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing her on as Stephanie, though. I loved Stephanie. But would the character be a lead?

The reason days sucks so bad at utilizing others soaps' actors is because they don't bring them in for an already planned character. They're so focused on the casting, that they don't bother to really have something prepared. Abby might be the best idea for her regardless of age because there's already a plan in place.

Is he sure it wasn't his brain that was hacked? :teehee: :teehee:


I love when execs communicate with fans. But they should have a little bit thicker skin.

I love RH, but after the hatchet job they did on MA and KDP my expectations for the writing for her if she comes to DAYS is pretty low.

If RH leaves GH and they don't recast then it's gonna get real crazy on Twitter. Especially by the BH/Liason fans.

Interesting... I wonder if she'll say anything about what the original plot for the current Steve/Ava stuff was. Too bad they didn't schedule this until after she's off the canvas.

GH execs are messy. GH actors are messy. GH fans are messy.

It's always entertaining to see what they're up to on twitter. From afar. :teehee:

Nathan Varni has an *interesting* relationship with online fans.

The following happened on January 20th.
Nathan Varni did an interview in CBS-SID which came out in stores officially Jan 21; but many got it in the mail on Jan 20.

In the interview, Varni talks about how his not being influenced by social media and why. And who he prefers to listen to instead ...
SON quoted Varni here:

A twitterstorm started ... which Varni tried to placate on twitter ....

And then meanwhile, same day (Jan 20), this happened:

The New York Times announced on January 20th that Neilsen will use Facebook and Twitter in new ratings system.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/20/business/media/nielsen-to-use-facebook-and-twitter-in-new-ratings-system.html

Mediaite tweeted about it here:
https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/689843625736429568

A GH fan read that and tweeted it in connection to the Varni SID interview
https://twitter.com/LaceyLou82/status/689943988850315267

to which Varni replied and the twitter convo went on:

I'm afraid she is coming to DAYS, but really hope its not as Abby. I understand why they would want to go that route. She may not be my favorite, but her fanbase is massive. It would be a miscast on par with KDP as Eve. I love KDP, but casting her as Eve is probably part of the reason we lost her. If Becky is coming to DAYS I hope its as someone else.

Becky is just too old for Abby. Sure she has a younger look but not enough for a character that is what early to mid 20's?

I say bring her on as Sarah Horton

For me it's not just the look, it's that she's been a mother of three with an established career for so long on GH. It would be hard for me to see her step into a role like Abby because of that. (Stephanie, maybe, because they could age her up a little, but really IDK.)

Varni is just making things worse. He is not cut out for being on social media. Some can handle it and be ok but not him. I am all for execs and such communicating with fans but they have to handle it right and he sucks at it.

That Braun interview will be interesting. She already came out in a recent interview and acknowledged the story we are getting is not what she was pitched so while we may not get alot of detail, we may get some good tidbits.

Since this is Days, if they cast Becky, it'll probably be a new character or a recast we didn't think of beforehand. I mean, I don't remember many (anyone?) saying, "Oh, JL would make a good Jeannie (Theresa)!" when she was cast.

As lysie said, it'd be best if she was cast as a character for whom they have an actual plan. Abby seems like the most obvious since we pretty much know they're actively trying to recast her, but who knows what other ideas the writers have in the works.

You're all wrong. Rebecca Herbst will be playing a cryogenically frozen Renee Dumonde.

You have a good point here. The Days producers seem fond of stunt casting, hoping these actors from other soaps will bring along their legions of fans (and thus, increase ratings) regardless of their lack of plans for the characters. The character of Abby is ready to roll, so the inevitable failure might not be as much of an issue with an established character. But, then there is the case of Eve. KDP was a little too old for the role and was cast as an already established character and it did not work. I guess the difference is that Eve was not already on the canvas at the time whereas Abby is. (Is that correct?).
