Just because a character expires doesn’t mean an actor should. That’s presumably why DAYS has been known to recast actors into new parts once their character died off/left Salem/turned into a lemon/whatever. Isn’t it interesting that no one moves to like a suburb of Salem 10 miles away; it’s either in town or around the world? (Or Chicago, but that may as well be Reykjavik.)
Josh Taylor as Chris Kositchek/Roman Brady
Like, whoa.
And if this doesn’t make you smile…
As many of you know, the road in between wasn’t always smooth
Wayne Northrup as Roman Brady/Dr. Alex North
After a long stint portraying Roman Brady aka Marlena’s muse
He returned as Dr. Alex North.
Judi Evans as Adrienne Kiriakis/Bonnie Lockhart
Adrienne’s role has lately been confined to that of a poster PFLAG member (not that there’s anything wrong with that) so it was wild to see Judi Evans letting it all hang out as Ms. Bonnie Lockhart
Tamara Braun as Ava Vitali/Taylor Walker
Ava Vitali was good enough to win a Daytime Emmy http://youtu.be/w42V5rodiG8, but everyone hated Taylor, right?
Ian Buchanan as Ian McAlister/Lord Sheraton
Yes, his run as Ian McAlister has been forgettable, thanks largely to plot lines that make no sense. But this was even more obscure.
Thanks to all of you who helped with this entry! (And if you can find any videos of John Callahan as Tyler Malone or Artie Doyle please link in the comments.)
Love this!
Renee Jones also played Nikki Wade in the early 80s, before she played Lexie — and a whole bunch of people (Chelsea 2.0, Dario, Cameron) have appeared in bit parts before being cast in their “real” roles. This stupid show.
(I still want them to just cast Tamara Braun over and over as all sorts of short-term roles, though.)
Thanks! By the way, your recent posts singlehandedly made me feel differently about the Will-Sami kerfluffle. (Don’t tell MrsKiriakis that though.)
