Roles They Didn’t Get!
Shhhh! Actors share their secret disappointments…

Catherine Hickland
(Lindsay, One Life To Live)

“Luna (on OLTL). And I’d really wanted that part, but I thought that they cast her very appropriately because she was an unusual character and if that’s the direction in which they were going, I was completely wrong for it. The greatest disappointment of all was Ashley Abbot on Y&R. Eileen Davidson got the part and she’s fantastic. I begrudge her nothing, but that was my greatest disappointment because that was the dream role of all time.
