UGHH Why DC Is So Overrated And I did Not Like Him On ATWT Or BH90210 and He didnt seem to happy on AMC back in the day. I remember reading that he didnt wanna take his shirt off a lot back then. Scott was not shirtless when DC played him that much

I like him he did great in ATWT, the heart storyline. Just hope that he doesn't become Ted McGinley of soaps.

LOL Joan

He's so lame. Not a good actor, not that hot, not charismatic. Bleh. At least he's on a show I don't watch.

Tell Us How U Really feel BishBay. No I Follow Ya

This is a smart move by AMC, he will also work well with Greenlee and Ryan. He is a very talented actor when given the right material. This is no-brainer, he is going to AMC because DK is the co-head writer. He was with him on GL and then moved to ATWT because he was there. Cosgrove knows that DK will write for him vs going to OLTL and having what happened to GT happen to him.

I know that actors or actresses cannot bring in viewers...BUT..
I do believe that AMC needs to attempt to pick up some of the ATWT cast, especially since ATWT was doing better in the ratings than AMC as it went off the air. They should be working to get Terri Colombino at all costs, she is a 12yr ATWT popular star who managed to have chemistry with anyone she worked with, male or female and I do think folks who normally would not tune into AMC or an ABC show would and will check her out if she is on AMC.

I consider this good news. Daniel Cosgrove has always been my favorite Scott Chandler. I personally didn’t get all the love for Adam Mayfield. I look forward to Daniel’s return.

I think it's a good move as well. Now they can do a viable Scott/Annie/JR triangle. I would just ditch the character of Marissa all together.

This is good news. I am a fan of flash backs - they add a lot to current storylines. When you recast that extra special touch is gone. So having a former Scott return means we can see flash backs to some scenes between him and Stuart and Greenlee.

Jamey your ending comment makes me think you know who is possibly coming on as Marissa?????? Hmmmmmmmmmm

There was talk that just Scott would be recast and Marissa would be written off? But I think its just a rumor. I don’t know why but I think AH may be coming back to AMC with dark hair as Marissa. Her return would be a great addition to the JR/Annie/Scott/Marissa storyline.

I will say this: Dan's return as Scott could be some screen time competition for Super Ryan!!!!!! Maybe CM can take on more responsibilities at GMA- and not be forced down our throats now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamey by any chance was this the return of the favorite son with a new face by Thanksgiving you were speaking of in your recent Blind Items?????????? Or is there another fav son returning to a soap by Turkey Day????
If this isn’t what you were speaking of in the blind item,-- I have this sneaky suspicion that Michael Park is going to OLTL as KEVIN!!!!!!

Any Idea On Who They Are Looking At for Marissa?

I'd say based on the blind items that were recently put out there. This isn't the returning favorite son, I think that's going to be the Joey B re-cast. OLTL is a strange place recently, they really haven't made any moves in the casting area at all. It makes you wonder what's going on behind the scenes.

There was another blind item that matched this one, somebody reclaiming their role, which would be this.

I think the blind item about a show looking to bring a duo from ATWT to their show was about Maura West & Michael Park and West took her job at Y&R. People need to remember that the co-head writer for AMC, wrote at GL and ATWT and I can see him showing interest in picking up some of the actors and actress on AMC.

I really hope Terri Colombino is the re-cast.

Im Hoping On OLTL They Bring Chris McKenna Back As Joey B

OLTL is in dire need for actors who can act and play leading male roles. Big boys vs what they have now..

Michael Park would be major score and lift for that show as would other actors who are on par with him. The actor who played Dusty is also another good idea.

John McBain, Brody & Rex just don't cut it as leads. I honestly don't get what is wrong with some of the existing soaps, the pool for talent is outthere and yet they continue to stick with sub-par players.

Maybe Michael Park Could Be Kevin

Based on the timing for this and the instant firing of the actor & actress who are currently in this role... I don't think there was any casting involved, as far as testing more than one actor or actress for these roles. I beleive that ABC was going to attempt to get Maura West & Michael Park first, but Maura took the gig at Y&R, so then they thought of a backup plan, there 2nd on the wish list. I think the network approach the ATWT actors about taking over the roles and once they knew they would they announced the firing and recasting of them. Now one of the key elements has been announced, I think the other is going to come shortly.

This just so clearly points to a situation in which a certain actor or actress are available and now they will be taking over the roles. This timing is right in sink with the finale ATWT episode airing and the axing of those currently in the role.

Plus Carolyn Hinsey hinted at this weeks ago. I'm sure it was kept under wraps so that the existing actors could be fired and contract finalized for the replacements.

Noooooooooooooo! Horrible news! If you thought Scott was boring with Adam Mayfield in the role, then toss out that Ambien and get ready, because Daniel Cosgrove's sleep inducing acting and lazy face will put you to sleep in no time!

I know he was in the role before, but he absolutely is a boring actor. He plays every role the same way, no matter what show he is on.

On the plus side, now the characters of JR and Annie are GUARANTEED to be together, because Melissa Claire Egan won't be able to stay in such an uneven pairing.

No Vincent Irrizarry, and now they hire Baron Von Snooze in an important role. Adam Mayfield was a strong actor, and he definitely seemed more like the head of a company than this ultra bore!

Also, he is a show killer. You bring on Daniel Cosgrove as the grim reaper, the ferryman to lead a show to it's end.

Congratulations Frons/Carruthers/Judy Blye...you have officially announced the end of All My Children.

Cosgrove didn't kill GL and he sure didn't kill ATWT's..

Ellen Wheller killed GL with her new formate and horrible writing, Cosgrove's Bill Lewis was one of the few bright spots on that show and the actor got himself two emmy nominations during his time there. ATWT was already in the bucket when he signed on with them, he was brought on to give the senior Hughe's members a storyline and allow the character of Katie to have her happy ending.

If AMC dies it won't be because of him, frankly if any of the ABC soaps die soon you need look directly toward one man and him alone Brian Frons. Ratings are down because he keeps allowing all of his shows to shove the same characters in our face over and over and over again. He fails to see that perhaps Greenlee, Ryan, Zach & Kendell just aren't all of that.
As he does on OLTL with the characters of John McBain, Todd, REx , Gigi and Jessica. As for GH, all mob all the time with Jason & Sonny hogging up all the storyline and airtime.

An interesting thing about CBS shows, they actually write for and challenge their actors and actress. I think an actor with the talent Daniel Cosgrove has is only going shine when he stands beside some of the not so talent actors and actresses on AMC. I'm taking this as a good sign, that the show is actually looking outside it's usual box and reaching out to actors and actresses who come for a different network.

All my Children is still on the air??

I love Daniel Cosgrove and IMO he excels at playing darker characters such as Bill Lewis 555-5555 which is what garnered him the emmy noms but Scott is such a boring and dull character that I don't think even Al Pacino could make Scott interesting.

I still think the quad is over and done with and DC won't be paired with Annie. IMO, Scott as played by Daniel Cosgrove will move into the orbit of Greenlee and others I'm sure and there is absolutely no need to recast Marissa.

I do look forward to Jacob Young and Daniel Cosgrove sharing scenes...that should be good.

^^^^Bill Lewis when he returned in 2007 and most of 2008

(I don't know why it has all those 555555)

They are recasting Marisa, soap opera digest reported that DC is the new Scott and the show was this close to announcing the Marissa re-cast as they went to press.

Seems to me that they know who is playing Marissa and some contract issues were still being worked out.

I am loving this move on AMC part. I love him as an actor, no actor kills soaps as some comments have their stupidity showing about an actor killing a show it is the Executives in charge of the soap, and network I am in favor of AMC recasting Marissa, with AH or TC. AMC's Chandler's are struggling right now with the absent of David C. so they should then take the pen to that fact because everyone doesn't know the structure b\c Adam was the structure. Bring home Skye, and recast Haley w\Lorenzo, if AH is coming back if rumors are correct, then TC or KMH. Fighting over who's who and allies forming, such a Chandler mess at its best!

Hey Chris-- Why would Jamey give us a BLIND ITEM about a Joey recast- when thecasting call went out weeks ago & it was reported on so many soap sites. Joey's return to OLTL is not blind item worthy. Usually the blind items are backstage stuff no one is really in "the know" about. Example being the firing of AM as Scott last week & the hring of DC this week. Joey is slated to air on OLTL by Nov.- it was part of the casting detail that went out.
The real BLIND ITEM would be if Kevin is slated to come back to OLTL

Hmmm I liked Cosgrove as a Joey recast on OLTL, esp after seeing how his acting perked up considerably on GL as Bill Lewis.
I liked Adam Mayfield fine as Scott Chandler. His physical resemblance to David Canary made it feel like the elder Chandlers still had a presence in Pine Valley (yes, I know Scott is not biologically a Chandler).
And the salty innuendo made by some Soap media about Mayfield was entertaining on a somewhat base level...but it made watching entertaining for reason beyond the script.

He's so good looking and I may start watching again with him coming back. Also Lindsay Hartly and Jordi Vilasuso are coming in and I enjoy both of them. I am still upset that they killed David and never got over the death of Dixie either but I still love the show and I hope it bounces back.

What innuendos were made?????

I'm with you on "no actor kills soaps," harlee. It's beyond ridiculous for anyone to believe that. Y&R has had some terrible actors for the past couple of years (Yvonne Zima, anyone?), and yet its ratings aren't suffering because of them. Bad story-telling and bad production are what kill soaps.

The reference Ted McGinley use to be a joke when a long running show is near it's end, ted came on Happy Days and The Love Boat, he even joked about it. For god sakes people lighten up. People have to much time on their hands. It's just a joke.

For me this casting is good, but it won't really have any buzz or legs to it unless ABC & AMC really show some chops and say they have cast Terri Colombino in the role of Marisa.

Sure, soap repairing doesn't work 99% of the time, but I'm not so certain that TC & DC's pairing on ATWT really cemented itself in such a short period of time. If anything it was greatly effected by rushed storyline. So if she were to come on and eventually be paired with him, there honestly is lots they could write and do that would surpass what was done on ATWT for them.

They have chemistry and both are talented, it could be one of those pleasant surprises in which a pairing can work on another show. If I'm not mistaken DK was writing for them when the character of Chris returned, prior to anything romantic, you know the back and forth flirting. He left before the end and didnt' get to complete the storyline. I'd think he would want the chance todo so this time around. Clearly he was one of the people interested in bringing DC on to play Chris Hughes and pair him with TC, so he must have seen something.

It's very possible he is looking todo the same now.

DC with a no-name or an ok actress is no big story, no real buzz, but DC with TC or somebody with similar recognition in daytime does work

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not a fan of ATWT so I dont know TC-- but wouldnt there be just as much buzz if Alexa H returned to AMC as Babe's twin sister Marissa???
