View Full Version : Characters Never Shown Onscreen...Who Would You Cast?
Hoagie78 05-05-2020, 10:26 PM Over the years Facts mentioned characters you never saw onscreen. If you had a chance to cast those parts, who would you choose ? Some characters mentioned, but never shown:
A few examples
Greg Hockney.....Blair's date in Rough Housing. He winks at Cindy at the Harvest dance.
Roger....Nancy's sex crazed boyfriend
Mrs. Moose Jaw Muldoon....Natalie's teacher she trashes in her diary
Molly's Mother....mentioned in Molly's Holiday
Waldo Wilbur......Blair's fake husband in her marriage assignment....Blair say's they were looking at twin beds if that tells you anything.
'80sSitcoms 05-05-2020, 10:33 PM Typically I don't want unseen characters to be seen. Not seeing them is half the fun! :)
However, I will make an exception here: Greg Hockney. If for no other reason than to have an episode where it really is "woman against woman" as Cindy and Blair vie for the attentions of Greg, who is smitten with both of them and can't decide where his heart is.
80s Dude 05-05-2020, 10:39 PM Molly's mother was suppose to be seen, but was written out of the script. Perhaps she was busy making Mrs. G. some banana cream pies.

Who would you cast as Greg Hockney ?
Hoagie78 05-05-2020, 11:23 PM Maybe a young Michael Biehn as Greg Hockney ?

'80sSitcoms 05-05-2020, 11:37 PM Oh, I have no idea who I'd cast as Greg. I was just saying IF I had to see an mentioned-but-never-seen character, it would probably be him.
Then again, Cindy's father sounds like a hoot, the way he explained sex to his daughter! :lol:

They would of had cast a total goofball. Why do images of Rodney Dangerfield or Ted Knight pop into my mind as Mr. Webster :lol:

Hm, that's not the image I have at all, lol. I picture a brown-haired man much younger.

Ooh, good topic, Hoagie!
For Roger, I think I would have cast Scott Baio. Scott and Felice had good chemistry. And we know Scott was already hanging out on set anyway. Might as well pay him for what he's already doing! :lol:
RetroGuy2000 05-06-2020, 12:17 AM Maybe a young Michael Biehn as Greg Hockney ?
No Michael Biehn. He was born in 1956, and would have been almost 24 years old, winking at a 14-year-old girl. No. What are you, a FOL producer? ;):lol:

For me, I just don't really picture Roger as having "Tiger Beat" looks so to speak, lol (or that short, lol).
Lorimar Television 05-06-2020, 01:09 AM Ooh, good topic, Hoagie!

For the height issue, they could just do what they did for Michael Landon and Michael J Fox: put lifts in his shoes.
'80sSitcoms 05-06-2020, 01:45 AM That'd be hard for long shots though, lol. Scott's still too "photogenic" for my Roger; but maybe not for your Roger, lol.

All the actors they cast for Blair boyfriends were usually 5-10 years older than Lisa Whelchel. I wonder how she felt about that ? Then again in real life she married a guy 12 years older than her :lol:
valentina warner 05-06-2020, 10:21 PM Maybe a young Michael Biehn as Greg Hockney ?

I think that guy looks definitely like a GREG HOCKNEY as the object of interest for BLAIR vs CINDY ha ha!:happyface:happyface:happyface

Johnny be good! 07-20-2020, 10:38 AM I would have had Scott Baio play Roger Butler.
80s Dude 07-20-2020, 12:05 PM I would have had Scott Baio play Roger Butler.
Well he did play Felice's love interest in Zapped, so that would have worked.
80s Dude 12-12-2020, 06:50 PM They never showed Nina Branch. As mentioned elsewhere, they should have had that Eastland student who became pregnant be named Nina instead of Allison. There was no mention of an Allison in the first season.
80s Dude 12-12-2020, 06:53 PM I think the blonde on the bottom maybe Molly's sister since she is blonde in other photos I've seen of her sister Beth since I originally posted this.

They would have had to change the script to:
"Nina-kins!"
"Blairy-pie!"
:lol::lol::lol::lol:
