When were Elizabeth and Roger born? Could David Henessy and Sharon Smyth or Denise Nickerson have been the right age to play Liz and Roger as children?
Liz was supposedly born in 1917 and Roger in 1925. So, Sharon Smyth (heaven forbid!
) or Denise Nickerson (a much better choice) might have been able to play Liz as a child during the Depression, but David Henesy would have been too old for Roger. However, if the storyline took place in the early-to-mid '30s, David Jay, who was so annoying as Alexander during the Leviathans storyline, might have made for a perfect pre-pubescent Roger.
(Alexander was almost exactly how I picture Roger as a child.
) And if the storyline took place far enough into the '30s, how about Kathleen Cody as Liz - perhaps Liz, like Joan Bennett herself, was actually a blonde?
Yes, the more I think about it, the better I like it. Just think of the horror of Kathleen Cody and David Jay as the Depression Era Collins children!
