[QUOTE="Rove, post: 138691, member: 100"] I've never liked them and that goes for any series. Just the other day I was visiting my elderly aunt for afternoon tea. I had not seen her for ages but she was always a fan of The Bold & The Beautiful. As that afternoon episode was being played I hardly recognised anyone and asked, "Who are these people?" She then explained that's the new Ridge, Thorne and some other character I cannot recall. I thought for a moment I'd stumbled into some alternative universe soap. Interestingly even my aunt said she no longer watches the series religiously because of the change in actors. And that's where I agree with most about recasts. It upsets the rhythm of viewing a much loved series. It's why to this day I [U][I][B]never[/B][/I][/U] liked the recast of Miss Ellie and why watching that particular season frustrates me because when Bobby died in "Swan Song" I keep thinking how powerful this episode could have been with Barbara Bel Geddes there.
