I would love to have Nichols back. I doubt he would return considering he was sorely underused when he was there.

Tucker’s in England having started a new company. Would seem strange to just leave it all behind. I don’t know that Katherine would leave him Chancellor. What about Murphy? I know he can’t run it, but she could leave it to him. I thought they were a bit estraged before he left.

Not really a big fan of the character. Not invested. Soooooo many new faces/recasts in G City. But if it means tons of Kay/Jill story, then I’m all for it.

Nichols would be cool, but they should do a twist to it, and have it turn out Paul Williams is really Catherine’s son, Since Doug Davidson was like a son to Jeanne anyways, and would give him more airtime.

Wow, can’t believe they aren’t planning on asking Nichols back! He is one of the finest actors in Daytime (of all time). Their loss…and ours:(

It will be a friend of JFP so take it from there. Or she could always put aging stage makeup on Steve Burton and he could do dual roles! And if you think I am kidding I am not if she thought she could do it she would the nails in the coffin are almost complete.

I hope there is re-cast because he was no fan fav on Y&R. I loved the Tucker played by William Russ, he was outgoing, optimistic, romantic, and seemed like a corporate raider. I still smile when I remember Tucker bring Jill breakfast in bed and surprising her with red stilettos and diamond earrings.

The re-cast with SN making Tucker into this brooding spoiled old man who took delight in being nasty to woman he had sex with was a huge turn -off. The rock and roll hippie who had sex with groupies and calling each other by groupie names- just stupid. SN had no chemistry with Jill and was boring with Ashley.

Bring back her son Brock. He should get the money.

Me! I’d love to be a Tucker recast!

I would love to see Tom Eplin back on daytime– he could play the new Tucker, does anyone know if he is one JFP friends or one of her enemies? But if not him someone who used to be on AW that I haven’t seen in ages would be cool. JFP must of made some friends on that show that she could now import onto this one.

This SL could be good if they have all the Chancellor’s back- Brock, his daughter Mac, Phillip and Chance– with Devon and Tucker thrown in, all competing with Jill for their share of the pie. Of course after Katherine fake death a couple years ago, Esther inherited half the house– so you could get her and Chloe and Kevin in on this too.

I won’t be happy unless Tucker is played by Nichols. He is a great actor and bringing is anyone else is a bad idea. He even had a physical resemblance to Jeanne Cooper and Devon.I have watched Nichols play Patch on Days and Tucker on Y&R he is such a good actor that I easily accepted him in both roles.

bring tom eplin ex jake another world. he would be really good as tucker. oh robert kelker kelly too. why not. both are very good actors. jill pharren phelps needs to be fired. i cant stand this woman. she is a soap killer. young and the restless will be on life support sooner than later. she always brings her friends teachers pet on the young and the restless and creates roles for her friends. steve burtons new role is boring. cannot even act. a friend also to jill pharren phelps. lol.

Knowing JFP it will be another cast member of Hollywood Heights like Grayson McCouch or Carlos Ponce. Someone they can get cheaper than Nichols.

My picks would be:
– Grayson McCouch
– Leigh J McCloskey
– Tom Eplin
– Laurence Lau
– Timothy Gibbs
– Gordon Thompson

Stefan Cassadine to GH. Stat.

What about Brock? If the original is not available, then a recast. I think Laurance Lau would be a fabulous choice to play Brock. It would be an easy transition since Brock hasn’t been seen regularly. I just can’t see her leaving Chancellor Industries to just recently found Cane or grandson. Her husband has no corporate skills – he can inherit enough money to ensure a comfortable last years of retirement.

I wish Stephen Nichols comes back to GH i miss him .

I was never a fan of character of Tucker played by either actor. I think it was the story on how it was conceived in the beginning. Now, with the death of Katherine looming and you can’t undo all this mess now it seems almost a necessity to have Tucker back for story with Katherine dying. If they can recast Tucker then they can bring back Brock at the same time, Brock has equal shares of CI. Let it be Brock vs Tucker.

My next question is Phillip & Chance are the REAL Chancellor why not have those two back instead of Tucker?

I think Susan Flannery should be figured into this whole thing— there arent too many grand dame’s of daytime left and she could fill these shoes if she has had enough of retirement!

They should bright back the original Tucker……Stephen Nichols

Brock will never be interested in running his mother’s company.
I think it will fall to Cane – which will ultimately lead to conflict with Lily and Jill….and Tucker.
I do wish he was going to be played by Stephen Nichols again tho.
It will be strange to have a new actor assume an established role and no prior relationship to any of the actors/characters.
Not impossible – but a challenge.

Stephen Nichols should be asked back! It’s a no-brainer! He has three years of scenes encompassing every emotion with Jeanne Cooper, all which could be used in flashbacks! Seeing a recast play the part of the grieving son will ring hollow with viewers, who will expect to see Nichols. It would be a disservice to the storyline to cast an actor that hadn’t worked with Jeanne!! The only one who could do the part justice is the one who had the most scenes with Jeanne in the role. Stephen and Jeanne worked so well together!! I hope he is asked to come back.

Bradley Cole ex Guiding Light worked with JFP for a little while on GH, he could be an excellent Tucker.

Stephen was brilliant as Tucker and I loved him during the tribute to Jeanne episode. However, if they chose to recast, I would be welcoming it, but only if the recast was equal to and/or better than Mr. Nichols!

Of course… I would love to see Stephen Nichols on any soap… GH first and then either YR or DOOL. He’s fabuloous!!! Don’t think it will be Y&R though…

I can’t say this surprises me at all. It makes story sense to bring back Kay’s children — both of them. Especially Tucker from a business perspective, and let’s not forget a funeral coming. My thoughts are that JFP and SN don’t adore each other, so one of them very likely doesn’t want tot work with the other, or maybe both. So, either one wants the role to go to SN and one doesn’t, or they both mutually agree that they’re happy not to work with each other. Either way, it’s not surprising to me at all, and it’s really unfortunate, because SN had a ton of charisma in that role, he had huge character chemistry with Jill — and it doesn’ thave to be romantic, I mean CHARACTER chemistry, their interaction was always compelling. But nooooo. I’m just hoping that if SN said no that one of the reasons is because Days came a’calling. Either way, there’s no way this recast won’t be a FOJ.

Stephen, you were a great Tucker. If the character is really being recast, I’ll miss you, and I won’t be watching.

OMG bring him back. Not someone else, PLEASE! If you have to bring someone in could it be George Clooney!

Brock is her son too! If it is not the real Tucker Brock will do. I am sure you can make a story line for Brock. But if Tucker is gong to be a player and the real Tucker is not in the picture you will have to bring in some very handsome, loveable character.

I would prefer Stephen NIchols to any other Tucker but if this is determined to be a recast I would be shocked if it wasn’t Kale Brown.

Grayson McCouch is about 20 years too young. It would be awesome to have Tom Eplin back on soaps, but he is a bit too young as well. I’d suggest Kale Browne or David Forsyth. Both are Phelps faves, but that doesn’t bother me here, since both are good solid actors, and either would have chemistry with Jess Walton and other cast members. I am also waiting for the reveal that Cane is actually Tucker’s son. This was strongly hinted at before Genie Francis and Nichols were axed, so the story couldn’t proceed. But with a recast the story could move full steam ahead. Tucker never really caught on because he was written with no purpose, personality, or point. Any talented 60 ish could play the part well provided they fleshed out the character and gave him some dimensions.

Robert Newman aka Guiding Light’s Josh Lewis.

I’m thinking Kale Brown will get the job. She brought him over to OLTL as Sam Rappaport and made him s HUGE part of that show.

Just as long as it’s not Devon. I can’t stand his punk self.

I like Robert Newman as Tucker or even John Wesley Shipp (ATWT, GL)

I would like them to bring back Stephen Nichols. He’s Tucker and will always be Tucker in my eyes.

Stephen Nichols needs to return in order for the storyline to work. I don’t understand
Why they let him go and put all those kids that have no storyline and that are so
Boring!!!! I’ve watched Y&R for 40 years, we need our vets back on with a new
storyline, it’s gotten where its same storyline just repeated!!!! Wake up and get this
Soap back where it needs to be!!!!! Use our Vets don’t waste them, cause they are
All great!

Michael Park.

I want Nichols back. He was great. Loved him with ED as Ashley. Fabulous chemistry. I wish they could both return.

Why would they recast? Unless Nichols does not WANT to return (because, let’s face it, who would after being canned?), I see no reason to recast. Nichols is supremely talented and had great chemistry with cast mates (granted, most of whom he played with are no longer there). Also, unless they really intend to use Tucker, I’d rather not have the character on the canvas. Y&R has too many good characters being wasted these days and I wouldn’t like to see Tucker as the next casuality.

Stephen Nichols should Return. JFP however has proven to EXCLUSIVELY HIRE HER FRIENDS. i will not watch if its one of the FRIENDS OF JILL. I ALREADY CANNOT WATCH BURTON

Tom Eplin. And Jensen Buchanan in some way!!!

Count me in as NOT wanting a recast of Tucker McCall!! Stephen Nichols was perfect in the role! I’ve been watching ‘The Young’ for close to forty years and no – I wasn’t a fan of Stephen’s prior to his being on the show. Sure, I had seen soap mag covers of ‘Patch’ and such, but never saw his work. It’s a bit irritating to have to say that as if it it assumed that Tucker as a character could not possibly be well received on its own merit, but yes, he can and is by many I presume. Anyway, the minute Stephen took over the role, I became fascinated with Tucker. I thought he was an interesting departure from your typical business man – mogul – billionaire. My only gripe is that he wasn’t used enough in certain storylines.

So I’ll reiterate here: PLEASE DON’T RECAST TUCKER! GET STEPHEN NICHOLS BACK!

I want kay alden back as a principal writer of this show. Since her and bill bell left , the show became really boring. I do miss jack vs victor , dru vs phylis , nickki vs diane , jill vs kay . Not to mention about super couples she created. She knew how to pull it out.
Bac ( david tom and ashely b, jollen thad and lindsey , raul and brittany etc.) All of them have good chemistry together.
Today most of couples on this show are very boring , i can’t stand one of them.

SN COULD COME TO GH AND PLAY THE ROLE:

STEFAN CASSIDINE

OR KELLY MONACO FATHER
