A new ABC casting notice has gone out for a new role on the hit primetime soapy drama Revenge for it’s upcoming season two.   The role is to play Conrad’s son (Henry Czerny) from his first marriage.  Yes, that means another Grayson male is headed to the Hamptons.  That also means that Daniel (Josh Bowman) is not the only Grayson who is making a play for the family business!   Oh, the tangled web they weave in the writer’s room at Revenge  gets more … tangled!

The hit series is looking for a young actor to play the following:  “Intelligent and effortlessly handsome, this other heir apparent will attempt to reclaim his role in Conrad’s life and company, throwing the family and corporate dynamic into chaos.”

So soapers, who you would you cast in this role?  Who do you think would be a great fit in terms of looks, and acting chops to join Revenge?  With so many popular former soap stars and actors looking for a great part, this could be it!  And, do you think that this new man will make a play for the love or to control Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp)?    Weigh-in!

I would like to see them cast Van Hansis in this role.

I was thinking the very same.

I think he is too young or at least too young looking (which isn’t a bad thing). I would maybe suggest Jake Silbermann though instead who is almost 30 (and sexy as heck too).

I just looked at Van’s age and he is actually born in 81 which I can’t believe.

I would cast actor Peter Porte without a second thought!!!

Hmmmm…..Scott Bailey?

Love Scott Bailey & does need to be on a soap again. I’m not sure who I would cast in this role but there are several very sexy unemployed soap hunks out there.

Sarah, i was thinking Van Hansis too or even Josh Kelly.
I was also thinking Dave Annable, but he already has a new show on ABC.

New Grayson hunk needs to be older than Josh Bowman’s Daniel, so a man at age 30 or so? And would he need be perhaps of different features, not dark but more fair? I will give this one some thought. Hmmmmm…

I would LOVE to watch this show…unfortunately it is on ABC, so I will never see it. Lots of great former soap talent out there who could use the gig.

Grayson McCouch would be the perfect choice. He’d always remember his characters last name …but I think he’s on the disney channel in some fluff show. Oh well…maybe an unknown would be the best choice.

Revenge has done an amazing job with casting the current characters and with so many daytimers out of work, where would one begin?

His name is Peter Porte he just finished up his role as Ricky William on The Young and the Restless! This kid is going places Emmy all the way! He would be perfect as the brother unless he get’s the part as Christian Grey for Fifty Shades of Grey!!!

I think John Paul or Forbes March would be great in that part.

Cameron Matheson!

This is who I could see play this new character.
Chad Brannon (Zander GH)
Dylan Bruce (Chris ATWT)
Justin Bruening (Jamie AMC)
David A. Gregory (Ford OLTL)
Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip Days)
Josh Kelly (Cutter OLTL)
Peter Porte (Ricky YR)

Eddie Cibrian, he is a great actor and gorgeous.

Jason Dohring would be amazing in this role. He was in Veronica Mars, Moonlight and Ringer.

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.
