[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 341418, member: 27"] So I'm reading that Trevor St. John (last seen as Todd/Victor on OLTL ten years ago) is a recast of Tucker McCall, last played by Stephen Nichols. I have to say this was audacious (to be kind), given certain....umm, questionable aspects. Tucker was introduced as the love-child Katherine Chancellor gave up for adoption prior to her marriage to Phillip Chancellor. Since the Chancellors had already been unhappily married for over a decade before we met them in 1973, Tucker would (at the very least) be in his mid-sixties. Stephen Nichols is 71 years old. TSJ is 51 years old. We thought Jill was that love-child for many years, so she would be the same age as Tucker. So is Jill now in her early 50s? Bryton James (who plays Tucker's son, Devon) is 36, so if his age lines up with Devon's, then 51-ish Tucker became a father at the ripe age of 15. I'm not going to say this is the first case of extreme de-SORASing of a character*, but it might be in the "Top 3" of the most shocking. * When forty-five-ish Maeve McGuire left [I]The Edge of Night[/I] and her role as Nicole Drake, she was recast with 25-ish Jayne Bentzen, creating a situation where a matriarchal role was now a young heroine.
