[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 443327, member: 27"] Louise Shafer was on the writing staff of SFT at the time, I think; she'd transitioned from acting on soaps (most notably on[I] Ryan's Hope[/I]). When they needed a temp recast of the Stephanie role, it was likely most convenient for them to ask Shafer to step in, since she certainly knew her way around a soap set. A similar occurrence happened when [I]Another World[/I]'s Anna Stuart fell ill and Staff Writer Sofia Landon Geier (who'd appeared on [I]Guiding Light[/I] previously) picked up right where Stuart had left off in a key courtroom scene, wearing Stuart's outfit. I'm surprised that FYI channel hasn't spotlighted the infamous Days scene where Jack Deveraux is recast during a shower. One actor steps into a shower, who is followed by the actress playing his wife, Missy Reeves. Reeves then starts making out with the new actor as the steam rises. There was also a rather famous recast at the 1959 wedding of Vanessa Dale on[I] Love of Life [/I]where Bonnie Bartlett walked down the aisle. When her groom lifted the veil Vanessa was now played by Audrey Peters. [/QUOTE]
