You can add major motion picture film star to the resume of Justin Hartley. The one time soap opera star on Passions, and The Young and the Restless, who know appears in the primo role of Kevin Pearson on NBc’s smash hit drams, This Is Us, has been cast in the film A Bad Moms’ Christmas!
Hartley will join Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn in the movie. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore return to write and direct the sequel to their 2016 hit comedy, which is slated to open this November. he film sequel will be about the trio of women coping with the stresses of holiday times as their own mothers visit for the holidays.
According to Deadline in ‘Bad Moms’, Hartley will play the role of Ty Swindle, who is described as a fit and handsome firefighter by day, who doubles as an erotic dancer by night. A very sincere gentleman, Swindle immediately jives with Carla (Hanh) during a waxing appointment.
So, excited to see Justin up on on the big screen? Comment below!
He is a good guy and I already knew from his work on TV he wasnt coming back to Y&R and now this. He could take over the MI role Tom Cruise made so popular. His possibilities are endless. Now somebody grow some balls and bring Muhney back and if Braeden doesnt like it, tough shit!
Hey Timmm, You look at J.H. and see exactly what I see. If you watch (trailer Ghost Protocol) he could easily be Jeremy Renner. Take a look at Tom C. Jeremy R & the girl sitting in the plain trying to decide what move to make.I can so easily see J.H. in there and if you look at Rogue Nation you could easily take J.Renner out and put J.T. in and I think he’d make a better Brent. He’s also very smart. He knows he needs to get into night-time shows for producers to see him. This guy was made for the big screen and he’s on his way.
Really, Nikki. If you’re going to recast the movie, put Justin in the lead role. Jeremy Renner is, in my opinion, the sexiest man in movies, an opinion shared by his AMERICAN HUSTLE costar Elisabeth Rohm and by the legendary Rita Moreno. I think his coming into the MI series improved them greatly. But I could easily see Justin Hartley replacing Cruise. He’s starting to look tired.
Seems Mr. Hartley is not coming to back to his Adam role on Y&R anytime soon. I wonder if Adam needs to return. After a decade of outlandish plots and nearly impossible to believe contrivances, I could be satisfied this Newman son remains dead. That is probably not the case, but still, there are many stories to tell with Newman’s other three children and his grandchildren.
I agree with you UNTIL Victor either dies or Eric retires. Adam was and could be a strong central Newman to take over the family lead.
Eric Braden had nothing to do with mm’s departure, that was all him and his roaming hands, and if it wasn’t, then he should have sued, but he didn’t.
A: Read Eric’s book!
B: CBS never released a statement over MM’s departure.
*You cannot make a statement UNLESS you were there!
I never said CBS released a statement,
A: EB was the one who said he had nothing to do with MM’s departure, repeatedly.
B: Actress playing Summer was the one who made the accusations, if they were untrue, MM should have sued her, he didn’t.
C: I know that if someone told a story like that about me and it wasn’t true, we’d be in court.
D: You weren’t there either.
Justin Hartley was destined for the big screen..
There is so much ahead for Justin, it has just begun for him..
I guess we’re all suppose to act surprised at this but I’m not. I said a long time ago this guy is going places and this is just the beginning for him. I never saw him in Passion but the first time I saw him in Y & R I could see him in movies with Tom Cruise. Whatever emotion he has to play he shows it on his face so well you almost believe its true. I love “This is us” Again I think he takes it away. I believe whatever role he’s given, he’ll run with it and make it his own. I’m so very happy for him.
If only JH could suddenly have a twin brother that his mother didn’t know she had, then he could have his movie career and we could have Adam back. lol
I thought he would end up in one of the many super hero or sci fi franchises– but I suppose Bad Moms Christmas is a start– and probably fits in with his shooting schedule for TIU– this movie role won’t land him an Oscar– but it gets him into the game if that is direction he wants to go with his career– but noticing more and more “movie stars” doing cable television these days, proving in the end a paying gig is better than no gig at all.
Hartley actually played Aquaman in a pilot for DC comics and was Green Arrow on the CW show Smallville at one point if memory serves me correctly. He also fits the Aquaman comic book character better than Jason Momoa. It would surprise me if he didn’t land a major superhero role because we know he’s a DC fan and they could use his help! I’m still not convinced he won’t return to Genoa City, Y&R has not been shy about showing his picture the past few weeks.
I always felt that the small screen would lead to bigger things for him. Loved him as the Green Arrow on Smallville, he was sooooooooooooo good!
I knew this was going to happen for him. Very happy for what he’s been given!!!
I’m surprised there’s a sequel.
Happy for him, but Justin can do so much better!
Bad Moms was a horrible movie and I can only imagine the sequel being even worse.
This is a movie that will probably go straight to DVD ok get over yourselves
He should not sink to a trash movie like this. I guess it’s a foot in the door.
He’s much better than being is a second-rate comedy sequel like this. I hope it does well, but Hartley is slumming it by taking this role, IMO. I hope he gets better film opportunities in the near future. He definitely should be on both Marvel & DC’s radar for an action picture, with a lot of shirtless screen time.
Know nothing about the movie. He always had a certain “something” which can ride out a stumble or two. For me, his cadence was not properly balanced in the first months of the R & Y. Now he needs to fall into an intellectual mystery type romance; mentally secure, but discretely delightful. He can play more much more than “eye candy”.
I will watch it if it does come out on Dvd,looking at Justins hot body oh boy what can I say…

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

One Life to Live Alum Jonathan Groff Receives 2024 Tony Award Nomination for Leading Actor in a Musical
Nominations were announced on Tuesday for the 77th annual Tony Awards by previous winners, Renée Elise Goldsberry (ex-Evangeline Williamson, One Life to Live) and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
When the dust settled it was Stereophonic (which is loosely based on the story of Fleetwood Mac) and Hell’s Kitchen (Alicia Keys musical) that both scored 13 Tony nominations to lead the pack.
However, Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along made quite the comeback and is nominated for several awards including Best Revival of a Musical and for one of its stars, Jonathan Groff (ex-Henry Mackler, One Life to Live).

Groff is nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and will go up against Brody Grant — The Outsiders, Dorian Harewood —The Notebook, Brian d’Arcy James — Days of Wine and Roses and Eddie Redmayne — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.
In addition to his previous Tony nod for his role in Hamilton, Jonathan was nominated for a Lead Actor in a Musical for his role as Melchior Gabor in the original production of Spring Awakening.
Jonathan co-stars in the revival of Merrily We Roll Along “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe and previous Tony winner Lindsay Mendez.
Back in 2019, Groff visited Live with Kelly and Ryan and discussed his debut on One Life while working at night on Broadway in Spring Awakening.
He shared on his experience on the soap, “I do remember my first day because I was doing Spring Awakening on Broadway at the time, and One Life to Live was my first time ever being on TV. So I got this offer, and I was like, ‘Yes, I would love to be in a soap opera,’ and we finished Spring Awakening at 11:00 p.m. and I woke up the next morning at 4:0 a.m. to walk uptown to go to do One Life to Live, and I called my agent and left a message, and I said ‘You have to get me out of this, I can’t wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning!'” You can watch the clip below.
The 77th annual Tony Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, June 16, with Tony and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returning to host for the third time.
So, rooting for Jonathan to take home his long-awaited Tony Award after several decades in the theater? Do you remember him as part of teen scene on OLTL? Comment below.
