[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 174907, member: 27"] I guess this will be a direct recast rather than the whole "Real Cristal"[I] trade[/I] they made last season (new character, same name). If so, I hope they will do it with a bit of 'daytime flair'. Daytime soap fans get dragged all the time in social media, etc. but at least we don't get all upset and enraged at a recast like prime time viewers seem to. I'm reminded of several recast situations on daytime soaps where they poked fun at the transition and made the viewer feel like "part of the joke". A character on [I]Days of Our Lives[/I] was seen getting "naked" and stepping into the shower. When his onscreen wife opted to join him, the recast was in the shower, and the two of them had [I]sexytimes[/I] without skipping a beat. On [I]One Life to Live[/I] they had a character flash back to her previous weddings, including one ceremony where she had been played by a different actress. When the scene returned to the present, she looked momentarily confused and opened a compact to examine her face. On [I]Another World[/I] they had an actress fall ill just before she had to do a series of important courtroom scenes, so they did an emergency recast and went so far as to put the recast into the outfit the actress had been wearing the day before. They did her hair exactly the same way and even the same accessories...in short, you had to look twice to be sure there had been a switcheroo. I would like for the [I]Dynasty[/I] producers to pick up season three at the lakeside wedding scene, perhaps just after Fallon shows up. We'll see Cristal in the same dress, same hairstyle, same flowers...but Cristal's back will be to the camera as Fallon does her scene. They will augment the scene a bit just to keep Cristal silent and her face unseen until they need her to react to the bodies being recovered, etc.--and only then we'll see she's been switched. She could re-play the reactions of the cliffhanger that A-BC played, then continue with new material. [/QUOTE]
