For the first time since I started doing Wishful Castings for Daytime Confidential, I am stumped as to who could possibly fill an exiting actor's shoes, er boots. Amanda Setton has made such an impression as One Life to Live's Kim, that my mind is drawing a blank as to who could readilly take on the role following the talented starlet. Setton, in her mid-twenties, has the chops of actresses at least a decade her senior. If Kim were 10 to 15 years older I would have a handful of names who could quickly assume the role with little problem, names like Wendy Moniz, Tamara Braun or Alicia Minshew, but the sad fact is, there aren't many actresses in Setton's age range who could do the role justice. What do you think?
Who in the world can follow Amanda Setton as Kim Andrews?

I would never have thought of Mandy Bruno but now that you mention it, I think she could pull it off. Mandy Bruno was extremely boring as the good girl but those few times that she got to be a bitch, she shone on GL and I believe she is still in NY.
Marcy Rylan could do it in her sleep but she's in L.A and I want her on GH.

I am in DENIAL! All I have to say is one of those scenes they've filmed had better be of her and Clint having sex so that at some point she can come back with a Buchanan baby.
Oh and Mary Rylan needs to go to AMC as Colby Chandler...you keep her AWAY from GH troy! LOL AMC needs her more than GH does.

I say Marcy Rylan should be Belle Black Brady on Days. Give back Jason Cook they our not using him on GH. I need my Shawn and Belle back and they can soras Claire to be around eleven or twelve. But I do think Heather Lindell would make a great recast of Kim Andrews Soap_Stud great suggestion. Also I have a couple of ideas for Top 5's
Top 5 Vixens in daytime
Top 5 Another World Characters
Top 5 Beverly Hills 90210 Characters
Top 5 The Bold and the beautiful Characters
Top 5 Pregnancies that you'll never forget in daytime
Top 5 Primetime Stars that you would love to see in daytime.

No need for a recast. Write Kim off the canvas and make room for underutilized characters like Addie and Renee.

Snooki told me to tell you all MTV offered her $10,000 an ep for not acting.
More than a lot of soap vets. Why in the world would she actually have to work when she's earning all that?

I'll pay Snooki $15,000 a week if she'll shaddap and go away. $20,000 if she'll take that punkass Bituation with her.
Of course, that would be in Canadian funds.
(Economic fail.)

I'm comfortable in the minority so I say with relish: good riddance to bad rubbish. She was a middling talent in a poorly written role. Her departure can conclude a dark chapter in OLTL's illustrious history.

Ppl complain that the cast is big (it depends for me) so there is no need to recast. Good luck to Amanda b/c she has been great.

This news just ruined my day.
Part of what made Amanda so great as Kim was that she didn't fit the "soap mold" and didn't play the part as a typical soap vixen. If they did feel the need to recast, and I hope they don't, they need to go for another out-of-the-box casting choice.

She is a awesome actress. I agree that her sceness by the lake was a dud. I know the DC crew are having a heart attack, if you criticize anything OLTL.
I think she made a good choice, the speculation is that OLTL is the next to get cancel this year (I hope this is not true) she probably does not want to go down on a siinking ship. I heard this is why Roger Hiowarth is not coming back, he does not want t go from one cancel soap to another on the chopping block

Good luck to her & all that, but all I have to say is "buh-bye."
No need to recast.

They're all too white and aren't nearly as fresh or vivacious as Setton. Get someone with darker coloring a la Setton or mixed-race.

Honestly, I'm still in shock. Waking up at 3 PM only to have my heart ripped out with this news is just not fun, but as far as recasts, I like the Kate Stewart idea. She really played the bitch well. That's who I would choose if it was necessary, but I personally don't know if anyone else could play Kimmy better than Amanda Setton.

I don't think the character of Kim is that integral to the canvas. Sure, I'll miss the Clint/Kim potential, but I don't think there's any need to recast. I'd rather see OLTL use characters like Addie or Roxy more often. If they're looking for a good bitchy character, may I remind them that Catherine Hickland's Lindsay is still cooling her heels in jail?
If they do recast Kim however, the idea of Lindze Letherman coming east and working w/ Scott Clifton again would be fun to see. I don't know if LL can play seductress or bitchy, though. I'm trying to picture her w/ Jerry VerDorn as Clint and all I get is creeped out. It'd be like watching Georgie date Alan. Ick!
I think Day's Heather Lindell could be great as Kim. She can do bitchy as well as seductress

I enjoy Amanda Setton & Kim, but the role should not be recast. She's not that integral to the show. Write her out and work on a Clint/Viki/Charlie/Dorian quad...

I don't know, but maybe the show will open the door for Amanda's return if she wants to come back.

I can only imagine how upset the OLTLers who may have been asked to take a pay cut might have been upon hearing that Setton was offered a raise.
I've never cared for Kim as a character (actually she always did kinda remind me of Snooki) and if TPTB thought that keeping a scheming stripper is the mix is going to keep OLTL from going off the air, well, I think (hope) they're underestimating their audience. As a long-time viewer, I'd much prefer to see Kim gone and Addie, Roxy, Nigel and David on my screen more.
If they must recast, Heather Lindell, Katie Stuart and Adrianne Leon are all fine choices but the idea of seeing Lindze Letherman and Scott Clifton work together again is just too good to ignore.
