The character was okay – better than your stock no-name federal agent, but then again GH excels in casting these types of bit parts. What turns me off, however, is this: “I’m still unsure what exactly I did wrong for them to end my run on GH as I tried my best every day I was there to deliver a complex, multidimensional and dynamic character. I believe I did so.” In my opinion, it is unseemly and bad form for the actor to take this stance and so publicly. It’s not about him – it was more or less a… Read more »

I like Agent Sloane ..
I like him with and against Anna..

sometimes actor are hired for a short job, it is the way it is..
there are casting budgets that are strict..
Perhaps someday he will return for a good long time, ya never know..
wishing Robb Derringer the best on returning!

Well, he said a little too much. “I’m not sure what I did wrong.” Really? As an actor he should know it is just business. I was getting interested in Sloane. When he danced with Anna, I saw real potential. Did the writers have a plan for him, then changed their minds? We’ll probably never know.

Of courses we the fans wants to see agent Sloane return for the producer/writers to change their minds he is a fresh character to dig our theeth and he is not a criminal and he has great chemistry with the commissioner, and he can fit in with a quite of the other character on GH just give him a chance that’s all the fans is asking

I barely noticed that the guy was on the show. He’s been on the air a handful of times. He wasn’t even on contract. He was just a dayplayer. A campaign for a dayplayer is a bit much. lol

I haven’t seen Mondays episode yet…nor did I read his social media post…so this is the first I’m hearing of his exit. Disappointing. I thought maybe they’d explore a possible love/hate relationship between Sloane and Anna. I thought the actor was very cartoonish when he first appeared at Nicolas’s door…but I liked him very quickly. I thought the droll dialogue between Sloane and Anna very amusing/charming. What I find interesting is the public way actors express their likes, dislikes and disappointments to their fans knowing full well that the producers and writers are reading their comments too. In this case… Read more »

With all due respect to the actor, who I’m sure is a nice guy, but he did nothing for me. I mean he wasn’t bad or anything, he did a fine job. But it was nothing memorable by any means. Just seemed like another day player in a short-term role, which is exactly what he turned out to be. Nothing more. Don’t get all the fuss about him. If GH fans want to start petitions to bring actors back to the show, how about a campaign to bring Genie Francis back? Now that’s a petition I would sign in a… Read more »

Many have started as a bit part only to become long term. The outpouring of tweets to execs shows that his part as Sloane is one that fans want explored. He is handsome ,sexy , and talented. Hi

Robb sparkled on GH! He turned out brilliant and nuanced performances.
I hope the people over at DAYS takes notice of this gem, and signs Robb Derringer to play the new and improved role of ‘Peter Blake-DiMera’.
All the best, J.

I didn’t see what was so great about the character– just my opinion. Too many vets & off screen characters for a character like his to be more than a short term. Can we get a campaign to bring back characters like Jax or more screen time for characters like Mac?

Such a shame….it was refreshing to welcome this traditionally handsome soap-type of male to GH…and there was definitely much potential for a romantic match-up with Anna. Additionally, I concur with Harry that “Duke of Bloomingdales” is no longer the man for the Divine Devane…..if she is not fated to pair up with the “Sloane Ranger, ” then I still maintain that Frisco Jones would be a perfect partner for the “Emma Peel of Port Charles.”

Wasn’t on long enough to become invested.

This just annoys me….I liked him ….I liked him with Anna…I wanted something new for her….She seemed younger & more beautiful lately….he was a gorgeous addition to this show…I was hoping for a romance….I got so tired of Anna & Duke….the first new character I liked in a while & they get rid of him….not a good thing… :/

Like anybody that ever shows up in Port Charles, there will be those that take a liking for him/her and those that won’t. I am not sure where some people are coming from by saying they didn’t even know he was on the show, I am guessing it is the people who fast forward so that they only see Ryan Paevey(Nathan) for the day. There is more going on in Port Charles than just a guy in a towel. I personally think Robb Derringer is a great looking guy, great actor, who had potential to at least make us swoon.… Read more »

I like him, I just thought he was favoring a known criminal DR.O and a Terrorist Faison.

Will miss Sloane, best of luck to Robb. Would have loved to see Sloane’s history with Anna explored, those few scenes we got of them on screen were great and leaving me wanting for more. Hopefully GH will bring him back one day. Hot NYE kiss btw, best Anna’s had in a long while!

BYE!

He is a wonderful actor and did a great job! He needs to stay on the show he did better then theother actors that can’t act ! GH u need to keep Robb Derringer on the show!

Anna needs options just like Alexis! This fan thought Sloane would finally be it, but no, we’re back to the sexiest female in PC once again being without a hot relationship. Look at Ashley on YR, why do they write hotness for her while GH turns Anna into Audrey Hardy? Finola Hughes deserves better!

heres what he did wrong, he was playing a good guy, you can’t be on gh unless your a criminal, duh!

Here’s whats wrong with the character, he’s a good guy and good guys is the least of what GH wants, to be on GH you gotta be “bad”!

I think the character of Sloane had potential and he was a breath of fresh air considering the cartoonish villain overload we have had to endure over the past year on GH. Honestly, they didn’t seem to give the story or the character much of a chance, which is a shame. He was the one decent thing to happen to the character of Anna in years.

I agree that the character of Sloane had potential, and Robb did a good job in the role – I thought he and Finola Hughes had great chemistry and funny banter – but the role of Sloane could have just as easily been played by a day player, it was a bit part that probably wasn’t meant to last very long from the start. And it’s a bit surprising that there was a campaign started to “Save Sloane” when so many beloved vets have left the show but no such campaign came for their characters. Also, it seems like Robb… Read more »

Robb: Note to self…never ever do that again…you may very well have screwed the pooch! There is a lot to be said for holding yourself accountable to your actions and showing utmost dignity in these situations. Things change quickly in Hollywood therefore it is always best to let the fans speak. Bad move as now you are whining about sour grapes and a professional never ever does that.

And I liked the character! oh well….Anna and Duke are no doubt the end game…as it should be.

I loved that Anna had a potential new love. I always wanted Robert and Anna back together and that might happen in a year but for now they should throw her a bone, just not Sloan. Too vanilla. The name alone. Wasnt Sloan on Capitol? [ A woman, I know] I would have casted Robb as a Collin’s. He looks like he could be Kevin’s younger brother. In any event, dont cry out loud, everyday people lose their jobs and wonder why? I wish him luck. Seems like a good guy and a better actor than a couple others on… Read more »

Dude, be grateful you’re off that mess. GH is not good for any serious actors resume.

Possibly some of the context in which the comments were made isn’t coming across, but he comes off as not understanding the nature of the business, which would be surprising. The character never struck me as someone who was intended to stay around indefinitely; he came on to generate conflict/problems for Anna and there wasn’t any reason to think the character would be around after that played out. It didn’t necessarily come down to anything like “what I did wrong”; sometimes characters just aren’t part of the longer-term story plan (and that includes people on contract). I take people’s points… Read more »

Ummm…Layla not all of us fast forward to just watch Nathan in a towel, so no need to bring Ryan’s name into this or insult the GH viewing audience in your rant.There are many who watch the entire show, but just didn’t find anything special about a dayplayer to start a tweeting campaign that you & your little group have been on. It’s annoying, so enough already!

A good looking, manly man with a great speaking voice. He is slow to warm up, but he is very commanding of the screen.

Y&R should hire him as Billy and give Burgess Jenkins his walking papers

Well, I think he is taking it a bit too personally unless the show’s top brass lead him to believe the character was going to have a long term presence on the show and then change their mind. Otherwise, it was a short term role, to serve the plot– which was to resolve where Faison was and what Anna did with him and to set another Fluke pt 2. \ He did have that Elliot Ness vibe about him, but instead of going after the real bad guys he was hunting down Anna, one of the show’s most moral characters-… Read more »

Thanks to everybody who has offered words of kindness and support. I’m gonna be fine regardless. I’m a survivor and I’ve been making my living in this business for 20 years now. This isn’t the first heartbreak job I’ve ever had, probably won’t be the last. I am no crybaby when it comes to hard knocks. I’m a Buddhist and I know there is always wisdom and value to be gained in the trials of life. What was confusing, and what a lot of the haters don’t realize is that there’s some pretty significant story coming up for Sloane. It… Read more »

aha..
Robb’s comments were very gracious and kind..
he is man who would like to be employed and is grateful for the attention..
I will say this;
Robb’s comments are hold 90% ‘less’ whining then some of the people in this thread whining over his statement. ; hypocrisy must be catchy….. lol 😉

Am I missing something? According to a web site that posts episode counts for actors/characters the guy was on twice in Dec. and I guess maybe a couple more times in the first week of Jan.?

I don’t think the role was ever intended to be anything more than a momentary plot point so I find it a little weird that the actor is behaving like he was hired for a contract role only to have the rug pulled from under him after only a few days.

I thought he had spectacular chemistry with Anna Devane and hate to see his run end, but he should keep his mouth closed. GH, with the cast they have is bloated enough as it is, and if he was hired for a short arc, understand that it’s business, and go about your way. That being said, they should bring him to DAYS as Peter Blake DiMera!! Since Jason Brooks cant/wont return, this is a perfect recast!!!!!

I took note of him on GH only when he took his shirt off–hot!

WOAH! SOD reports that Grayson McCouch replaces Robb Derringer as Kyle Sloane!!!

Has Grayson McCouch just been named as the new Sloane? They’ve kept the character, but not the original actor. This is all over social media right now. I thought it anyway, but now I ABSOLUTELY think they recast Sloane w/GM because he looks just like Nathan, but 18-20 yrs older. I think he is going to be Nathan’s father or brother. IMO. Having worked in the entertainment industry 15+ years, it doesn’t bother me AT ALL that he expressed confusion about being let go, especially since it’s the actor leaving, not the character. Also, he complimented the fans, TPTB and… Read more »

I was sorry to hear that he was let go. I actually started liking him as an adversary of Anna. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to wonder? Especially since his character is being recasted. I hate PTB release an actor after I’ve taken a liking to them.

Just found out about the recast; that is sad for Derringer. I liked him as the FBI agent. Well acted, very businesslike, good chem w/Anna. I do wonder if GH is going in the direction that Sloane is supposed to be a ‘dirty’ character in that he was the one to bring the ‘wrongful imprisonment’ of Johnny Zaccarra to Anna’s attention. Maybe he had something to do with that. Possibly the powers that be behind GH wanted a more sinister approach to the Sloane character? Just brainstorming. Also, Grayson does look like RP’s Nathan. Maybe this will be the secret… Read more »

His acting was bland and lackluster. It was a minor part that they allowed him to play. Now there are plans to pair the character with Anna and his acting wasn’t up to par so he was replaced. Simple. It’s the nature of the beast.

It is like he has a vendetta toward Anna.

I will miss this Agent Sloan. Robb Derringer is good looking and seems to be a very interesting man. Hope to see you acting again on TV soon.

The more Rob Derringer appears in his remaining scenes, the more confusing it is why they replaced him. And so abruptly. I can really understand why he was so upset. The character is going to be involved in a huge SL…and he was really growung into the role. No job security anywhere…and the easy disposal of people, without warning, is cutthroat.

I’m not one to leave comments, but after watching today’s episode, I had to write my two-cents’ worth… WHY ARE THEY REPLACING THIS WONDERFUL ACTOR??? I’m absolutely not disrespecting the new one they’re bringing in (and I don’t care about the new actor’s past list of credits, including established soap credits), but the original “Agent Kyle Sloane,” Robb Derringer, is and has been giving top-notch performances. I love the nuances, the layers he adds, the life behind the eyes that suggest something more than the horrible dialogue actors are often given on soaps these days. He masterfully handles the storylines,… Read more »

Gang I really wasn’t going to post. Here is…1=I do want him back and am 1 of the many fighting to get him back. 2= Yes..as far as people saying it’s a job, and that’s the nature of acting you can get fired and should’ve known, however it wasn’t because this time the actor wasn’t late,didn’t have poor attitude, wasn’t rude, This was very last minute and Robb never even told they were doing a recast as far as he knew his story arc was coming to a close then they recast. He is a character I like. Found interesting,… Read more »

I felt Rob Derringer was really good looking and not as sinister looking as the new Sloan. Maybe they felt he was too good looking to play the part. In really liked his acting, though.

I don’t understand why people are being hard on Robb D. He said he doesn’t know what he did wrong. I don’t get it, either. What did he do to get recast? I thought he was a great new character. I saw the new Sloane and my first thought was “gross.”

I absolutely loved Sloan! I mean, I hated him too, lol! He was perfect, he made me so mad, but he was so gorgeous, that I couldn’t be mad. I am a huge GH fan, but furious about the Sloan replacement!

Hate the replacement of the character Sloane.

The Sloane replacement is horrible, he can’t act. Hoping that Rob will be asked back. He is a much better actor and very easy on the eyes!!
