I will be sorry to see Liz lose her brother on the show. Good luck, Scott!

I wish his chicken-munching, homophobic wife would get booted from DAYS, but I know she won't. If Amelia weren't playing Victoria, Chance weren't offscreen and Nina/Tricia Cast weren't on recurring status, I would say bring Ryan McNeil back from the dead.....but that would be pointless on today's landscape. Oh well, at least he's still a "rockstar".........

You think DOOL could bring him on as a recast Peter Blake?

It's about time. SOrry but this actor brings no emotion to his character, the relationship on the show with Liv or any routing factor for fans. BYE

Sounds like SR's 3 year deal was up & GH decided not to renew

I've always liked the brother/sister vibe he's had with RH when they've worked together. Easy and comfortable. And I've liked him with LLo, but the closest thing that might've made their pairing interesting for the conflict it might have raised was the death of the inmate when KoKi was still on canvas as Maggie. That trio was a dud from the start. I truly wish him good luck... Innocent

Bye bye!

I hope this makes room to put Tristan Rogers on contract.

There is no need to recast the role IMO. Liz is doing just fine without her brother & the Steve character was never that greatly developed.

LOVE him and will miss him. All the best Scott.

DAYS PICK HIM UP! OR B&B! (don't think a Ryan redux will work on Y&R sadly)

He's been adorable since his Ryan McNeil days on Y&R and a great physical likeness to his TV dad Jeff Webber/Richard Dean Anderson. His performance never caught fire or anything but he was solid and portraying a doctor and a legacy character, which counts for alot on the recovering from a decade long sojourn into Mob as heroes GH.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. I haven't been watching the show, but I do remember Shaun Benson being put on contract in 2004 then released in 2005 and then in 2009, they bring in Scott & he's put on recurring, then on contract in 2010, then 2 yrs later he's released. If they recast Steven Lars Webber, I hope they don't put the actor on contract for a set amount of time, then release him. They might as well keep the character Steven Lars Webber as a recurring character. Sad to see him go.

As the grandson of Steve Hardy and son of Heather Webber Steven Lars should be an important character. However, Scott Reeves bores the hell out of me. Please hire Ricky Paull Goldin!!

Send him back to Genoa City (Y&R) as Ryan reincarnated and shake up Billy and Victoria!

Ron C. probably has to make some tough cast cuts in order to bring certain other people back. I am thinking that soon we will be seeing Rick Hearst (Rick Lansing) back in Port Charles!

Let's hope this comes to pass, because Elizabeth could probably use somebody right about now.

I don't him back at on Y&R but maybe B&B because of HT and him was hot!

DAYS could bring him on as Dr. Mike Horton! I think he'd make a great Mike. Or maybe as a pairing for Jennifer.

Peace. He can go catch his breath now. Nice to look at, horrible actor. I wonder who Olivia will be paired with or if they'll recast the role.

Good riddance, I hope he takes that guitar with him. That boat ride from h*ll left a bad taste in my mouth.

I have no idea how he was so popular as Ryan on Y&R. I think his years off as an actor may have hurt him.

As much as we need more Webbers, this guy just wasn't cutting it. And let's be honest, he only got the role because his BFF. This is the second time they have tried with Stephen Lars as an adult and neither guy has gelled.

Stephen is just plain boring.

I just hope this means Olivia is gone soon. Unless they try to pair her up with Sonny or she decides to run a Psychic house, there is no need for her anymore.

They need a better actor and also A TALLER ACTOR!! It's hard to get him a lot of love interest if he's shorter than most of the leading ladies.

Ricky Paull Goldin would be awesome. Great suggestion.

He'd undoubtedly have a lot more gumption going up against his Manic
Mommy & would certainly generate a lot more heat with Olivia
(or any other female they paired him with ......maybe Diane??)

As harsh as it may sound, the only thing I'm sorry about is Elizabeth loosing yet another person in her life. Seriously, does she have anyone left (besides her kids)?

They should consider recasting. Maybe with the right actor in the role the character could take off.

!!!!! This is exactly what I said! Ricky Paull Goldin would do for Steven Lars Webber what he did for Jake Martin on AMC: Give the character personality. Plus, he & Lisa LoCicero would be SMOKING!!!

That's too bad about Scott Reeves. I think he did a fine job as Steve Webber. Yes, they wrote his character dumb as dirt, but I think his acting when he at first believed his mon, and then had to realize he had to separate himself from the nut job that she is, was pretty golden. I did like him with Olivia, and she's really starting to grow on me as a character too. U hope he find something else really quickly because I don't want anyone without a job.

Scott Reeves was often distractingly poor in his acting both here and Y&R. I am also not a fan of his wife Melissa Reeves who plays Jennifer Horton in DAYS. Aside from their personal/political views, I think their acting is atrocious. Hope they find success in other professional fields.

I feel bad for Scott because he seems like a really nice guy and I hate to see anyone lose a job. But, truthfully,the character of Steve never was established well. That horrible story with Maggie the nurse never went anywhere. I'm sure Scott will do well, he has his music and he lives in Nashville so he'll be able to hang out more with his best buddy Steve Burton. And they have the Port Chuck band. They shouldn't recast for now because the character really isn't necessary. But may-be in the future. I like the idea of Ricky Paul Goldin. He would add a lot more life to the character.

I wasn't a fan but Steve was at least a legacy character. Why cut him and leave Kate and the horrible new doctor.

what if Steve Webber dies as the result of one of Heather's schemes. Then with the fall-out, Jeff Webber returns with his sister, Terri to rebuild the family. However, Elizabeth wants nothing of it. Then Sarah shows up, Audrey too & try to heal the clan. would like to see Tom Hardy & his son Tom Jr to return and help the Webber family heal.
