Heck, they waste her on Y&R. She'd really come into her own on B&B. It would be her show. She'd be the new Queen!

WHO could replace Susan? |

I say Jess Walton. She is a powerhouse, awesome actress in the same league as Susan Flannery. They should bring her in and give her TOP billing. She'd
give that show the needed kick in the pants it's going to be begging for (on a daily basis) when Susan goes).

though I do love Jess Walton, Jill Abbott is all I can see her as.
and Jess is a little too young to step in as Steph, we'd need a more mature looking actress like that chick who play Lucinder Walsh |

Who can replace Susan Flannery? No one.
But I understand what you're getting at. Let's see: Meryl Streep. Yeah, I know she's younger than SF and she would probably never do soaps but I seriously think she's about the only one who would be good enough to fill SF's shoes.
Nikki & Victor Forever - you got that?

Yeah, that Lucinda on ATWT had it. It's just that "thing" -- I don't even know if there's a word for it.
Someone who just commands respect when she enters a room, with that protective mother lioness thing, yet a touch of bad when she feels justified. And she mustn't be a bed-hopper -- very selective when it comes to sexual partners. Jess Walton is a possibility, but they would have to write her a bit differently for awhile (and she would have to stop that sex-hungry lip-licking quirk of hers)! I'm sure Jackie probably thinks she has it, but she could never come even close. Meryl would be good, but there would be no chance in hell of them getting her. Then again, Joan Crawford & Liz Taylor did the soap scene briefly. I'd have to give it some thought and keep a look-out for potentials... |

Oh I would want Jess to come to B&B as Jill Abbott. No need to recast her as anyone else.
They'd have to work her in to the s/l somehow. Maybe she could be the woman who finally tags and bags old Ridge. Also, doesn't Jill have a kid or two around? They could come on B&B as well. The only other way I can think of to mitigate Steph's loss would be to bring on TA DA! Heather Locklear to be Brooke's new nemesis!
Tha might fill in the big gap Steph's absence will leave to a degree. Brooke's got to have someone to fight with and don't see Hunter carrying the whole burden alone. Yeah, Heathe would be a great Susan Flannery replacement.

Maybe the reason they are building up the Logan clan is because they need so many new characters to replace the Queen. Personally I don't think Brooke
could be the new Stephanie because she is not as devious.

Really, they can't ever replace Susan. But they're going to have to do something to fill in that huge talent gap she'll leave behind.
And it's going to be a Grand Canyon sized gap. vicgirl, I don't think Brooke can be the new Stephanie either. Brooke needs to be Brooke and not try to morph into some quasi-matriarch. We need Brooke bed hoppin' and home wreckin'. I didn't like it recently when she was chasing behind Rick, trying to tell him who he should sleep with. She jus tdoesn't have the moral authority to swing that kind of bat without looking like a totaly hypocrite. I'm sure KKL is going to miss her great teacher and mentor when she leaves but, let's hope some of the lessons she learned from her have really stuck and we'll see the actress bloom. I mean, she's got to be good for something more than just "dressing it up and taking it out" - to quote her muddle headed soulmate. I still think they need a big named presence to help get us over the shock of Susan's departure. Maybe Diahann Carroll could play marcus' paternal grandma. I bet she'd have old eric's head spinnin'! He'd be like "Donna WHO?" He might even be like "BROOKE WHO?"

Diahann Carroll would be an awesome addition to B&B

Good idea with Diahann Carroll! She would rock. I frankly don't see anyone taking Susan's place. I don't want to see anyone take her place either
to be frank. I'd rather see Stephanie Douglas Forrestor go to her reward first.
Jess Walton would be GREAT on this show, I agree she seems wasted on Y&R now. She was a real kicker in HER day though and still could be on the right show. I cringe when I think of what will happen to the show. I think the younger beth coming on is a foreshadowing that there will be a much younger looking stephanie coming on when Susan is done as well. They both are supposed to be 70 and DANG if this beth is 70 what the hell happened to Stephanie! Totally whacked. It's why I think they are most certainly going to replace Susan and it just will not work for me I am thinking. It's why I am weaning myself of the show. No ONE left holds as much interest for me except for maybe LK, but she's being used like a walk on anymore. Shame. What a waste of a powerhouse actress. They finally get an actress on who CAN act her pants off just like Susan and they don't use her. What a waste. Sue |

Heather Locklear!!!! I've always thought she'd be great on this show.
Unfortunately, I hear that Heather Locklear is being treated for depression right now. Isn't she still dating Jack Wagner? Well, when SF finally leaves the show maybe they'll give Lesli Kay and Winsor Harmon more screen time.

OMG I love Diahann Carroll for Marcus's grandmother or maybe even Alfre Woodward (lately of Desperate Housewives). Alfre would kick butt!
Linda Evans (Dynasty) for the new Stephanie

Haaaaahaha! Oh boy, I'd be depressed too! God forbid Heather step one foot in the Forrester/Marone arena -- Brooke would be squinting at her so much she'd need more eye work. Granted, Lang is beautiful, but why have they never put her up against another California blond bombshell and see how she fares? I mean a blond real beauty -- not that equine sister of hers. Like a real drop-dead gorgeous blond -- yes, like Heather Locklear or her equivalent. The closest they got was that what's-her-name teen (Macy's sister) who was all ga-ga over Thorne when Brooke had him. Even she was making cracks about herself being a Ferrari and Brooke an old car. Taylor was just as beautiful, if not more, but it was blond against brunette. What Brooke needs to be up against a blond with attitude -- exactly like Heather Locklear playing her character from Melrose Place, Amanda. Then things could get really interesting! I do agree that Jill Abbott should leave chilly Genoa City, get some highlights in that hair and skip on over to L.A.! Working at Forrester!!! I would absolutely LOVE that! God knows they could use her business expertise (and sexpertise)! |

Peri, can you imagine the way Jill would roll her eyes at eric's ongoing advancement of all THINGS Logan at FC?
I'm sure Jill would mince no words in telling him that his zipper problem is NOT going to become a business liability. She'd tell that clod Ridge the same thing. I really think Jill Abbott would be a kick ass addition to this show. She's got that take no prisoners Y&R bitchiness that would catapult her straight to the top - God knows none of those weak men could handle her. Man she's used to rolling with TGVN. She'd blow Ridge and eric away like lint. I remember hearing Heather Locklear interviewed years ago and she said one of her favorite things was to get on the beach and "compete." Oh yeah! Poor Brooke wouldn't own the SEXY franchise then! And that "equine sister of hers" (good one! She might as well pack up her Jungle Jane outfits and move out cause no way would eric be able to take his lecherous old hands off Heather. But you're right, it wouldn't be enough for Heather's character to just be beautiful. No, she'd need that edge that Taylor never had. The ability to spot a threat from another beautiful woman and DEAL with her - by any means necessary. Taylor wouldn't do that. Whenever Brooke was giving her trouble, she'd hyperanalyze the situation, bust out bawling and grab a liquor bottle - Put Heather in Taylor's place and BROOKE would be the one drinkin'! |

I think that Heather Locklear AND Jess Walton are just what this show needs!!! This show needs two strong women characters who don't take crap from
anyone!!!

Brooke may be "aged" but I still maintain she is a stunningly beautiful woman. She has left legions of women eating her dust so I imagine she can
take care of the Heather Locklears of this world. Does Brooke get every man she wants when she wants him? No, but she always gets her man eventually because
she is not only beautiful, she is smart and sexy.

This would be great to have Alfre as his adopted mother team up with Donna to take on the Forresters (only in my dreams, I'm sure) Too bad we can't have Lois of Malcom in the Middle for Stephanie. She wouldn't be too sexy but she would sure whip everyone into shape. JK
