[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 407205, member: 27"] Soaps can "de-SORAS" a character this way if they are attempting a reboot of the character, to re-set the character's relationships with others or to pair them with other scene partners. They famously lopped twenty years off the character of Nicole Drake on [I]The Edge of Night[/I] via recast in an effort to shift her from matriarch back to plucky, young heroine because that was the type of character the show needed. But unlike Taylor, Nicole began dating a new man and took on new roles within stories with very little effort to connect her to her previous life and continuity. Taylor, on the other hand, is going to pick right up where she left off in this interminable Ridge/Taylor/Brooke triangle and will likely be right back in the middle of Steffy's family and romantic dramas. B&B is not "rebooting" the character---RB will likely pick up right where Krista Allen left off. Which leads me to believe something really bad must have gone down between KA and the producers for them to dump her so easily....and then bring the character back via recast so quickly without some sort of explanation of how "it'll be different this time".
