[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 439714, member: 27"] Due to a scheduling conflict, Jess Walton was unable to play a plot arc written to include Jill Abbott. The show opted to do a short-term recast with longtime [I]Days[/I] actress Lauren Koslow, who plays (and will continue to play) Kate Roberts. Roberts's turn as Jill is set to begin on May 25. Koslow's first soap role was photographer/blackmailer Lindsey Wells on Y&R. She actually blackmailed Jill (then played by Brenda Dickson)! Koslow then became an original cast member of B&B (as Margo), then assumed the role of [I]Days[/I]'s Kate Roberts from Deborah Adair in 1996. Oddly enough, Adair had played Y&R's Jill Abbott after Dickson was fired, so it makes a weird kind of sense that Koslow gets her turn as Jill. From what was written in the article, the temp recast has no effect on either actress's job: Days was willing to "loan" Koslow but plans to keep her on as Kate, while Jess Walton has not been "replaced" in the part she's had for 40 years.
