I liked Jamie Luner on Melrose and Profiler, but she is not living up to the Liza we have come to know. Her dialog seems forced and off in some way. And I'm sorry but I have never known a pregnant woman to rub her own belly that much. In those later months, most pregnant women have to muster up tolerance for anyone that wants to touch her belly.

Scott: In this role I think Daniel Cosgrove would have been great as Scott but this one could be okay in the role if someone would teach him to close his mouth and stop the random tongue movements when he is not actually talking. It is very distracting, if he has some type of condition - he should definitely keep his mouth closed.

I gotta say... This Liza recast has to be one of the all-time worst recasts in soap history. While Jamie Luner is a lovely and talented woman - the very epitome of a soap vixen - Liza Colby was not EVER a "vixen".

Also, most of us know that Liza, Tad, Jesse and Angie all went to high school and graduated together. Does JL as Liza look ANYWHERE close in age to the three of them? NOPE! Not even close!

I get that Pratt is a friend of hers and wanted to help her get work but PLEASE!!! I'd buy JL as Taylor - an unknown entity before she came on canvas - but no way is she Liza Colby.

Nope, not buying it. Bad recast, BAD!

As for TAWP Nu-Scott Chandler? It's funny, but sometimes when he turns his head/face a certain way? He LOOKS like a young David Canary. This would be perfect if Scott weren't Stuart's ADOPTED son.

You stated it perfectly! Jamie Lunar is NOT right for the part. Many viewers will not remember the "high school days" of Tad, Liza, Jesse and Angie - and how much time has elapsed. And maybe that is what the writers were counting on when they cast a younger Liza. As a long time viewer, I do remember those days, but that is not the only reason it is so hard to accept this new Liza. She is simply NOTHING like the old Liza. Not just her looks, although the red hair bothers me, it is the way she delivers her lines. They should have just brought her on as a NEW character and not tried to fill the shoes of Marcy Walker.
As for Scott, yes, his looks are quite similar to Stuarts - at least the grin is like Stuarts. Since he was not so defined a character as Liza, it was much easier to accept him as an older Scott.

The new guy playing Scott is great as far as I'm concerned...but Liza? Well, let me say that I think this new actress is pretty and a good actress...but just not Liza. Liza should be older, blond and not as sexy. Liza was pantsuits and power...not little dresses and sexy. I can't see Liza having sex on a table with Zach either.

And whats up with all this about "having babies" when these women should be close to 50??? Liza and Chrystal for instance?

I remember the days of Tad, Liza, Jesse, Angie, Greg, and Jenny! Yup, the new, youngish Liza doesn't fit the bill. But the Liza I remember would certainly have had sex with Zach on a table. She wasn't pure as the driven snow, after all. Jamie Lunar is a nice actress, but would not have been my selection for a nu~Liza.

I am with Shepmajor about the guy playing Scott. I, too, noticed his resemblance to David Canary. Oh, the irony!

JL is nothing like Liza Colby. They don't have the same personality, the same hatred, the same crying, the same look, anything! I don't understand how the cast of AMC can just be like hey Liza, I would want some kind of freak accident/plastic surgery SL to explain how LC dropped 30 years and looks completely different. Like LC wouldn't know who Kendall was? This whole SL is just crazy & it bugs me. I can't picture her as LC at all. And I hate her, when I used to love LC. I love to hate her, I wanna hate her but again I love her cause she's so evil

I agree totally with your post. I was thinking the same thing about Scott....he sure reminds me of Stuart as well and I like the actor and think he is doing a good job playing his role. Never easy to be the new kid on the block.

As for Liza and the actress playing her.....she is horrible at delivering her lines in the role she plays....looks like they are forced indeed. Perhaps Pratt should not give friends roles on his shows but cast people that the viewers would like more to fill in the old favorite spots of old. This was totally wrong and I have seen this actress in other roles and she is good....but just not as Liza. We want a person more age appropriate and at least blonde.
