Poor Daniel Cosgrove. He will probably NEVER work in daytime again. Wherever he goes, soaps seem to drop dead. AMC will be his THIRD "fatality." I like the guy, but have you ever heard the saying about not befriending black cats, just to be on the safe side??? Superstitious or not??

BB does not need anyone new they have too many balls in the air with their back burned characters!!!!!!!!!!!! Castoff Count: 0-1

Y&R Could squeeze in a couple cast offs, This show needs a online spinoff or something to move it forward, and cut about seven faces Sophia/Malcom/Heather/Chance just for a start. Castoff Count: 2-3

Days is the best bet, This show is in desperate need for a renovation I can most of the cast offs going here and thriving for its last five years or so. Castoff Count: 5-7

This is the way I see it, people have made comments about how expensive soaps are to produce and we have already seen many of them cancelled. If Y&R were to have an influx of well know soap actors, what would that do to their budget? I wouldnt want the chances of cancellation to increase because the show becomes to expensive to produce. I also dont think that the current actors should loose their jobs to a recast due to the fact that other soaps were cancelled.

Actually, what is really happening is Sony is in negotiations with ABC to buy AMC and OLTL outright. Sony wants to make sure they get the most popular actors signed and their contracts out of the way first before they go through with it. This news is how Sony is spinning it so no one will suspect anything. When major corps. do deals, they want it kept quiet until the papers have been signed. In this case Sony put out this story to make people think that they are negotiating to get the actors for Days and Y&R. NBC exec came out yesterday in an article talking about how many ratings points ABC was giving up and that they are in desirable demographics that advertisers love. That article was the first you will see from NBC giving the viewers what hints they can and also to back up their decision with stockholders etc. for when they air the two soaps.
Basically, NBC just told us they think the soaps are still worth something.
Sony sees life left in AMC and OLTL and they want to market them abroad like they do Y&R and Days. Sony makes big bucks off of selling the two soaps overseas. NBC makes profit off of Days by showing it on Comcast. NBC will then show AMC and OLTL on comcast. This deal has been in the works with Sony to buy them long before the cancellation was announced.

What Is Your Source For This???

Sorry Dont Buy It and Fans shouldnt either. Its Just someone wanting to start crap

Plus Josh Kelly is Not a fan Fave.

I see your point Alistair, Tucker is annoying. MAB should have gotten rid of the character when she brought back Eric Braeden but I guess then MAB would have to admit Tucker was a version of Victor.

I figured the remaining four soaps would start making calls. I like the canvas to be smaller, but I think it would be really smart for the shows to clean up what is not working right now (they have a few months) and set the stage for bringing in some of the familiar ABC faces. I'd like Jacob Young as Phillip Kiriakis on DOOL. I also want DOOL to do everything it can (even though I know it is impossible) to get Erika Slezak as Laura Horton!!

Better yet, DOOL should get OLTL's HW & EP!

I could see them casting Jacob Young or Josh Kelly as Billy if Miller bolts; the fact is it doesn't matter whether the fans think they'd be good in the roles or not(hello, Eden Riegel, Stephen Nichols or Maura West anyone?). MAB makes(and breaks)the rules whenever she deems necessary, viewership be damned.

As for Gina Tognoni as Victoria, that ain't happenin'. Amelia Heinle just re-signed with the show; not sure the terms or length, but she seems to be highly regarded by TPTB.

Eh, we heard a lot of the same things when GL & ATWT went. Some will end up on Y&R, DOOL and B&B, most wont.

I would love to see Gina and Debbie on CBS!!! The other two guys, I really don't care about. I could come up with a whole laundry list to get rid of on Y&R right now to make room for some decent actors.

And who ever mentioned bringing Kim Z. and Tom P. to Y&R, I whole heartedly agree!!

I have never been a Susan Lucci fan, she is getting a raw deal from ABC, but let her retire to keep writing books or something because I really don't care to see her on my TV screen on a regular basis.

I'm getting superstitious so a word of advice to the remaining soaps:

Do not hire Daniel Cosgrove.

He was part of the final cast of the long running GL (ended September 2009).
He was part of the final cast of the long running ATWT (ended September 2010).
He is part of the final cast of the long running AMC (ends September 2011).

He was also a part of the final cast of the long running BH 90210.

Just sayin'

Ditto for Kim Zimmer (part of the final cast of The Doctors, Santa Barbara, Guiding Light, OLTL).

When Kim Zimmer joined OLTL, I joked that it would be ending soon. I wish I had been wrong.

When Daniel Cosgrove joined AMC, I joked it would be ending soon. I wish Ihad been wrong.

I actually think GT would be good Victoria. I don't get this current actress. At this point I don't like the other one either.

I think GT among others have their roots in NY. or East coast. Different kind of living.

I'd like to see these established soap actors breathe life into old characters. I would love to see a few of OLTL/AMC actors join DOOL as Hortons.

I remember when James Reynolds played Debbi Morgan's dad on "Generations"! Another soap that never caught on, but that I loved!!

JR Played DM's Dad On Generations? He's Not That Much Older Than Her

I *might* tune into tune into Y&R if enough of my favourites headed over there. And I'd love to see Gina working with Crystal Chappal again.
I'd *love* to see Ron and Frank headed to Days as well!

I certainly hope not. I have never liked the actors/actresses on ABC soaps. We definitely don't want them on Y&R, which will probably be the last soap standing in the end. The writers are trying to kill off Days. Sending ABC actors/actresses over there would be the final nail in the coffin.

Jacob Young he would be the perfect Eric Brady
