Christopher Pennock could play King Johnny Romano, complete with gypsy accent.

Next: Paul Michael

I'll give it a try and cast Paul Michael as Evan Hanley.

Next up is Humbert Allen Astredo.

I wanted Astredo to play someone who doesn't spend his life in a three-piece suit, so I chose...

Bill Malloy.

Next up: Frank Schofield

Couldn't have Karlen play Willie One and recast John Hall I suppose.

Magnus, I was going to say, “Yes, but I don't like it,” but then I thought of all the other characters who were played by more than one person, and decided I don't want to open that door.  So I'm vetoing your recasting of John Karlen as First Willie, and recasting him instead as the cute little black nurse in episode 563.

The cute little black nurse was played by Beverly Atkinson.  Wikipedia, citing the New York Times, says she was “known for her character work playing women down-on-their-luck or caught up in drug addiction.”  Interesting, giving that my own comment on her in 2008 was:

It's a pity Julia never saw her efficient way with sedatives; Julia would have hired her as an assistant immediately.
Anyway, who would care to recast her?

The first thing that popped into my mind was that she's got spunk. In abundance. And a character who could benefit from that would be Sabrina Stuart.

Next is Lisa Richards.

I'll recast Lisa Richards as Chris Jennings.

Whom could Don Briscoe play?

Grey up his temples a bit, get him an ascot and Don could have been a great PT Roger Collins.

Next to be recast is Louis Edmonds.

Having seen Joan Bennett do a cockney accent in an old movie (Man Hunt, if I remember correctly), I think that she would be great as Leticia Faye.

Nancy Barrett is next.

I'd like to see what Nancy Barrett would have done with sweet, stupid Rachel Drummond.

Next up: Kathryn Leigh Scott.

Since most of Kathryn's parts on the show were so relentlessly nice, I want to see her sink her teeth (pun very much intended) as the vampire incarnation of Roxanne Drew.

Next: Donna Wandrey.

I don't know if such obscure actors/parts can be involved, but here goes:

Donna Wandrey was, of course, born to play the role of Diabolos, manning the reception desk for Hell.   A recasting for Duane Morris?
