He’s the secret Tessa’s been keeping.

I really like the guy on Snowfall.
hope he bring some of his hardcor manly with him to Y&R..

Of all the ‘stunt casting’ done on all the soaps, I HATE the CBS stunt casting of the Big Brother contestants.

Nepotism anyone???

He’s done very well Tainted Dreams an Amazon soap opera.

As for Tainted Dreams soap, the series has veterans from some of TV’s soaps..
So, he is in fact a soap actor, too.
In Tainted Dreams ;
c&p-
All My Children: Alicia Minshew, Walt Willey, Michael Lowry, Terri Ivens, Bobbie Eakes, and the late great Larkin Malloy

As The World Turns: Austin Peck, Colleen Zenk, Kelley Hensley, and Marnie Schulenburg

General Hospital: Natalia Livingston

Guiding Light: Grant Aleksander

I like him in FX Snowfall series, too.

I stand by my original comment!!
He wouldn’t be where he is without the nepotism.
Maybe they got lucky with this one, but most are duds.

I totally agree with you.

Another meathead who cant act lol

Richard, absolutely correct! And he was never a fan favorite of mine. His 15 minutes of fame ended a few years ago.

Far from a thespian but that body tho….

Delish…

Richard…ya’ got that right!!!!! I didn’t care for THAT MUSCLE-HEAD when he was on Big Brother…and I STILL DON’T LIKE HIM!!!!! Something about that dude that has always annoyed me. Oh…and BTW, you calling him a ‘meathead’…LOVE IT…AND A PERFECT DESCRIPTION…LOL!!!!!

Have a good one, Richard.

They really that hard up for actors?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE JESSIE!!!!!! My favorite Big Brother contestant and the reason I watched Tainted Dreams. I’m one of his biggest fans. Can’t wait to see Mr. Pectacular in action on Young & Restless.

Yay, Mr. PECS on my favorite soap. I love him. I’m watching!!

Not familiar with him-but most certainly would like to be- oh my yes! Yes! Also, I remember Marla Adams from Secret Storm. She was ruthless and powerful and was my role model that got me suspended from grade school when the teacher kept me after school and I told her that perhaps she should focus on her own life and the troubles in her marriage. But, it did pay off. as I had more time to watch my shows. I have thought she seemed a little frail and off as I watch her on Y&R- but she is acting! She is so superbly talented and nuanced and deluxe- I just adore her and I fear her story will not turn out well for Dina- I will not miss any of her performances and really want to shout out to her that she is still and always has been at the top of her game. Love you Marla Adams. I am also very very much loving what id going on between Mariah and Tessa-and I love Tessa’s singing. If the show does indeed go there- and I am so hoping they do- to me it seems totally plausible and I like both actresses very much and looking forward. I have read the comments flying in on social media against this very much so curious and definitely tuned in for more. Also adore Ravi and enjoy him on the show.

He is certainly a fine fine man in his prime. Let me turn on the A/C. Yes, I can see you in grade school doing your best Belle- I forget her last name and your teacher’s response-would have loved to see that. Marla is quite good. I honestly thought perhaps she could not handle this at her age- and I am not far behind her and I mean no insult whatsoever-I am a fan of hers-but as you say-she has been crafting this woman who is going to self-destruct and I love her and fear for her and also will try and not miss any as she is excellent and I like the story and the others as you mentioned- show making me very happy.

My heart currently belongs to Graham. But I could very easily be swayed. I love Dina and the actress and the Tessa and Mariah- I am all for it -even if they just become close friends- would love some more scenes where the two converse and have a real friendship. I wish Ashley would be given something romantically- and Ravi is being wasted-I find him very attractive and his character is so great. The show has kind of bored me the past few months but all that seems to be changing lately. I like Juliet, too and people hate on her non-stop but I like her and the whole story is interesting to me.

I like Adams as well. This part of your comment really made me laugh:

“… that got me suspended from grade school when the teacher kept me after school and I told her that perhaps she should focus on her own life and the troubles in her marriage.”

Thanks Barbara- yes, 4th grade. I suffered for that, but the look on her face-priceless!

Ugh!

hey one of my favorite TNA WRESTLER ALL TIME ON THE Y AND R SO COOL they should keep him on as ABBY NEWMAN’S NEW LOVE INTERESTED it would be so cool

I am not a fan of this type of thing for two reasons–

1. If the part was necessary to the scene then by “hiring” a celebrity to do it, they prevent some poor actor a chance to get a day role on a soap and perhaps get their union card in the process– but with a stunt casting, the network most likely doesn’t pay the person and they get all this free PR with it– so I get why the brass does it that way, but it would be nice if they were helping to create jobs, not rob them from people.

2. If the part is not necessary to the scene and they are writing a “part” in to the show just so the person they want to feature has a role, it is a waste of air time,. The scene never feels organic to the story, it feels like a commercial which basically is what it is. So as a soap fan whatever they are promoting I stay away from

Never cared for him on Big Brother or TNA. BUT, I give the guy credit, he keeps pounding away, looking for THAT role! Great body! Dont mind the stunt casting because its only a bit part.

hi Timmm ..
Looks like a day, two at the most..

He’s just going to play a security guard at the Crushfest Music Festival.
He’s been in twelve movies. he can act.

THRILLED & HONORED to announce I’ll be on Daytime TV’s #1 SHOW, The LEGENDARY The Young and the Restless on Friday, August 4th!! DREAM. COME. TRUE. Here are some of the stories about it in Entertainment Weekly, Soap Opera Digest Official Page, Michael Fairman On-Air On-Soaps, WrestleZone.com:

He is promoting Y&R .. that’s good for Y&R ..

Hey, if Ryan Peavy can do it, Jessie can to!

I can’t wait to see Pecs in action. I would watch Y&R just for him. I hope he becomes a recurring character.

Jessie is my favorite. I loved him on Big Brother and on TNA Wrestling. Way to go Y&R!! Best casting in a long time. Please make him a regular. I would watch just to see him.

I have always liked Sally Sussman as a writer and think that her talent for Y&R writing is vastly superior to the abilities of Chuck Pratt or Jean Passante. That being said, I HATE all of this “stunt” casting and cross promotion.

I am having a very hard time believing that Sussman, alone, is coming with ideas such as having Julie Chen trot through a scene with it have no significance plot wise but merely to let a Y&R character gush about the Talk. I’m really wondering if CBS (meaning executive Angelica whatever her last name is, who is mentioned too frequently on this site) is pushing (meaning, SHOVING) Sussman to do this stuff. If so, I really wish Angelica, CBS, and Sony would just leave Sussman alone and let her write a good show with no interference. I get the corporations want profits but, if they backed off and just let a veteran Y&R writer write, the show might be fantastic — spurring a ratings spike, bringing in the $$$, and making everyone happy.

These Julie Chen, “Mr. Pecs” and the bleach blonde “Housewife” need to GO!!!!

Next week on the Friday, November 13 episode of Beyond the Gates, Yvette Nicole Brown and her real life husband Anthony Davis guest star. In story, Brown takes on the role of Temeka the cousin to Shanice (Ernestine Johnson Morrison).

When Temeka comes to Fairmont Crest she will be accompanied by her husband, Tony, played by real-life hubby Anthony Davis. The castings come as the soap opera continues to expand the family of Shanice. Previously, we met her brothers, Cedric and Lamont.

As Shanice gets ready to head down the aisle with Dr. Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) will the presence of Shanice’s family members actually deter the nuptials from ever taking place?

Brown and Eddy first met in 2003 while testing for an ABC pilot titled “The Four Divas” alongside Octavia Spencer and Carla Renata and became very close friends up until Eddy’s passing.

It was actually Brown’s character, who came forth to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and shared that Epiphany died saving her life which gave some sort of solace to Elizabeth; knowing Epiphany died doing what she loved, helping people.

As for Anthony Davis, not only is he an actor, but a writer and minister known for TV and film roles including: He Wasn’t Man Enough (2025), The Family Business: New Orleans, and The Upshaws.

Who Should Justin Bruening Play on ‘General Hospital’? Wife Alexa Havins is Down for His Return to Soaps

Published

Justin Bruening and Alexa Havins

Will General Hospital be able to reunite on-screen real live loves and former All My Children co-stars Justin Bruening and Alexa Havins, by casting Justin in a role on the ABC daytime drama series?

The subject came back up when Alexa, who attended the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday, October 30 to root GH on to its sixth Outstanding Drama Series win in a row, spoke with Swoon.

Havins shared, “There’s always talk about him: ‘Is he going to come (on the show)?’ That would be amazing since we started (on a soap). Why not? He would definitely come in and play,”

IS IT TIME TO REUNITE JUSTIN AND ALEXA ON-SCREEN IN PORT CHARLES?

However, when taking to the red carpet, it was obvious Justin was not with his wife, and she clarified while she attended daytime’s biggest night, the former Jamie Martin of Pine Valley dropped her off at the Emmys, and went home to take of their four children. Alexa smiled, “Right now, he’s watching all my children. That’s my pun!”

Bruening and Havins married back in 2005. Recently, and as reported, Justin came to visit his wife at the set of General Hospital and posted some photos from it via his Instagram. One caption read directed towards Alexa, “You’re cute…..What are you doing the rest of your life? I’m thinking……… 4 kids? House in the burbs? 1,001 pets?”

General Hospital is also the current soap home of Bruening’s former TV father, Michael E. Knight (Martin Grey) who played Tad Martin on the beloved All My Children. So, if Justin nabs a role, he could be reunited with both his wife and Pine Valley father!

So, put your casting director hats on! If Justin Bruening were to come to General Hospital? Should be play an original role created for him? Should he be a recast for a character currently off the canvas? And, should he brought on as a love interest for Lulu Spencer or someone else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.
