I would love to see Martha Byrne cast on either OLTL or AMC. Martha is a 2 time Emmy winner and I think she would be a great addition to either show. Prospect Park needs as much support as they can get and Martha would bring alot of the P&G soap fanbase with her to Prospect Park. Cast Martha Byrne!

I want Hillary B Smith, Robert S Woods, Kassie DePaiva, and Erika Slezak!

Think the diehard viewers would like to see my character Brian Bodine on the AMC canvas?

I think Cythia Watros would be a good Tina on one life to live!

I would love to see Andrea Evans(Tina) ,James Depiava (Max) and Fiona Hutchison(Gabrielle) return to OLTL

I would love to see Opal, Erica, Jackson, Kendall on AMC. I don’t think as pretty as Cara is that she is a core player and David needs some strong characters. AMC has to cut some characters and I would say sadly the police officers, Krystal, Michael Nouri’s characters, some of the peripheral Hubbard friends and family should be writen out to save money. Someone has to o sadly.

Casting coup i’d love to see: now that Robin Strasser will be back as Dorian…and we know via General Hospital that there are plans for a Vickerman II, they should actually bring on Mia Korf (as Vickerman’s Blair Cramer) as herself!

Great opportunity for Dan Gauthier to be back as Kevin as well as other actors that fans love but Frons/ABC had issues with like Cat Hickland, all the Gannons, James De Paiva, Laura Koffman, Brett Claywell and Scott Evans. I feel Joey should be back and i’d be okay if it was Tom Degnan (i thought the actor himself was decent enough but the writing/stories for Joey in his last return was what fizzled) but i’d be even more thrilled if they brought back Chris McKenna. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Erin Torpey reclaim Jess if Bree Williamson couldn’t do it. I also would like David Chisum back as Miles Laurence; it was way too odd that Miles wasn’t even REFERENCED at all during Mitch’s last returns and he could fill in some blanks.

I kind of envisioned the debut episode using the narrative of Viki writing a letter to an old friend filling them in on everything that’s been going on in Llanview as of late – and perhaps that may be a great opportunity for a cameo from Marilyn Chris as Wanda Wolek or Michael Storms as Larry Wolek.

As for new roles: Max and Luna’s children and CJ Roberts.

We need Erika Slezak and Susan Lucci on these shows. Loyal as they are to Agnes Nixon I hope she can get therm back onboard. They ARE these two shows.

It won’t be OLTL without Erika Slezak. Hope to see Trevor St. John, Florencia Lozano, Kassie DePaiva, Melissa Archer, Bree Williamson, Sean Ringgold, Shenell Edmonds, Robert Woods, Please just bring back everyone who was on the show when it ended!

There have been so many wonderful actors on various soaps over the years, but I want to see the actors who were on these shows when they went off the air back first and foremost. IF there are gaps, then I would want to see others added. It takes time to establish a show (or in this case, re-establish) and I’d hate to see a lot of new faces distract from us getting to find out what has happened to our favorites in the year+ they were off the air. ~ I am so looking forward to this!!!

I know we all have our fan favourites but realisticall the cast has to be cut. They are only half hour shows no plus the budget is slashed to probably less than half. So sadly it is not realistic to bring back past characters who weren’t on at the end – there is no money or time.. David Canary has retired so at best he should be a guest character for AMC. I would suggest the casting director should really think carefully about who they ask back – their history, relationship with other charactes and such. Cara would not be one of my first for AMC. Yes, her and her brother are amazing looking but that isn’t everything. They don’t have a real rich history on AMC. Tad and Erica are kind of the anchors for AMC as is Vicki, Dorian and Clint for OLTL. Yes, you want new viewers but they are such strong characters you’d think they would at the least be supporting characters. Sleazak and Lucci are really key. They may be “old” but they are special – a rarity on any show. Lucci in particular and they truly are the roots of the show and brand. I hope the producers realize this. And not to be rude, who do you think the media will pick up interest on Lindsey Hartly (not to be disrespectful to the actress) or Susan Lucci or Erika Sleazak. Lucci is oddly enough for a daytime star big enough to garner attention even for Deadly Affairs and Devious Maids.

Another side point, interesting that there is more interest on these forums with the “more mature” characters in general. Tad and heck even Jake and them aren’t necessarily the super young starlets and studs like on BB or DOOL. Even Cameron Mathison isn’t super young.

OLTL is going to need another leading man since Victor, Todd and John are gone. I say bring back James DePaiva as Max Holden and hook him up with Tea or Blair. Max also has 2 children that would be in their 20’s that could fill the younger void left with Starr gone. Have Dani (Tea’s daughter) dating Max’s son and they meet in college. Matthew can be recast and be with Destiny still and their baby. Also Tonja Walker needs to totally be back as Alex and keep her 2 kids Cutter and “Aubrey” Kim and they could be recast.
