Sometimes on soaps it's necessary to either recast a role temporarily or permanently when an actor leaves the show.What do you think have been the best and the worst recasts,and also is there a character that you would/wouldn't recast.

I'm on the fence with recasts. If they are good, I'm usually ok. Sometimes the recast is even better than the original...Leslie Charleson over Patsy Rahn. Chris Robinson over whoever was Rick Webber before (if I don't remember his name, he couldn't have been that good.)
I grew to love John Ingle but David Lewis is my favorite Edward by far. Wally Kurth as Ned was preferable to Kurt McKinney.
Carly...never cared about the recasts since I loathed the character from Day 1 and continue today.
Where recasts are trickier for me are involved with my couples...Holly could never be recasted b/c losing the chemistry between Emma & Tristan would do serious damage to the couple.
Mainly, it's the core of the character that's most important...if that's there, a recast can work. None of the Lucky recasts worked at all to me.
