B&B Beefing Up The Hunk Quotient with Casting Of New Role – Who Would You Suggest For It?

Courtesy/CBS

OK soapers!  Time to put on your casting director hats and suggest who you think would be a good fit, and who you would like to see cast in this new contract role that has now come to light via Soap Opera Digest over at the number two soap, The Bold and the Beautiful!

B&B has put out a casting call for a, “New, hot guy.”   The description reads:  “Male. Caucasian. 25-28 years old. Heartthrob. Very Masculine. Edgy. Not afraid to get the job done.  Bit of a cad.”

So with so many soap favorites no longer on our television screens, especially the folks from All My Children and One Life to Live, who do you think could be a casting suggestion? Or perhaps someone from a past soap, a primetime series, or an undiscovered talent?

Let us know your thoughts, plus who do you think the “Hunk” is being brought in for storyline wise?

I think John Paul Lavoisier from OLTL, would be prefect for the part even if e is a little older.

Good choice!

Totally agree! JPL would be great in the role – he can easily pass for that age range. I really miss seeing him on TV. If B&B doesn’t snatch him up, I hope GH does.

I like him too!

Peter Porte ex Ricky Y&R of course unless he get’s the role of Christian Grey in the movie Fifty Shades Of Grey that he would be perfect for!

Thorsten Kaye as the new “Bad Ass” in town!

david gregory aka robert ford!

Like it.

Tad is the only Cad. ha. I think Aiden Turner but I think he is older then that.

He’s probably a little old but how about the old “Cristian Vega” aka David Fumero (I think)!

Like that one, too.

Jordi from “AMC.”

Josh Kelly.

John Paul Lavoisier he can play the age range easily!

Josh Kelly or David Gregory either one would be Great. Thorsten Kaye is now on “Smash” and he is in his 40’s.

from OLTL – Ex-Cutter.

I never watched OLTL… but, just had to… the last couple months, and it was, Gigi and Cutter that got my attention… they SMOKED. were on fire… these two have the potential for another soap.

I agree with Jerrica, it should totally be david gregory!! And I think he should be for Hope. Let Liam go and bring in a new guy for her!

4 real!! 😉

This is taking it back a bit but I always liked Matt Marraccini. He played Jesse, Maxie’s first serious boyfriend on GH; however, if age were not an issue David Fumero all the way!!!

They have too many hunks standing around at the pool and playing basketball with No Story, why add more? But, JPL would be a great Bro to Liam!

Josh Kelly. He is actually a good actor as well as having hunk status.

Or they could just bring back Brandon Beemer. But I’d hate to force logic on Bell.

How about Peter Porte, who recently played psycho Ricky Williams on Y&R!

Hey Bradley Bell, how about beefing up this show with better storylines? Does this show really need anymore useless himbos? This show is so unwatchable!

I would love Austin Peck or Josh Kelley. Austin is still banging and would fit right in and i freaken love josh Kelley.

i hope that this new man is a RECAST of RIDGE! maybe they can change his jerk carachter in a hot one and reunite TRidge once and for good! Brooke can have every men, she proofed it all over the years 😉
And for all the (b)RIDGEfans who are yelling and crying: EVERYONE can get REPLACED! even the POPE!!! So lets all move on and hoping that maybe this gives BB a chance to recover and be DRAMA again! Cause it would be unfair from BB and RM only because RM decided to go out, letting RIDGE die! NO dead Ridge!!!

NO HUNKS!!!!!! I want a damn male who isn’t all six packs because those are nasty. I want a REALISTIC male. I want an average joe!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
