Y&R Favorite Michael Graziadei Lands Role on ABC Pilot Venice!

Those missing Daniel Romalotti in Genoa City and The Young and the Restless can now follow him to his new role on Venice, and no this is not Crystal Chappell’s web series, but another series with the same title about two rival families living in the famed California beach town and the forbidden, dangerous romance that emerges between them. Yes, it sounds very soapy to us too!
According to TV Line, Michael Graziadei will play the role of Josh, a rising star poised to take over the company belonging to his father Gordy Nance played by Bruce Greenwood! Thus far also cast in the pilot are Jennifer Beals and Odette Annabel.
ABC is calling this one a “Romeo and Juliet” type soap from Without a Trace creator, Byron Balasco!
What do you think about Graz getting a new role? And the fact that the series is called Venice? Weigh-in!

Would ove to watch. To bad it’s on ABC. I Will not watch aything on ABC, Haven’t watched since AMC was canceled. Sounds like it wold be a good show.
I’m with you Darlene. I don’t watch ABC since the “Great Soap Cancellation of 2011” either. It does sound good though.
I knew Michael Graziadei would be snapped up quickly. I loved him as Daniel on Y&R.
It was exactly what I was thinking when I was reading this- too bad it is on ABC, because so many have vowed never to watch anything but GH on that network.
I loved Daniel with Amber the best than I really hoped Daisy would stay on the show. I loved that Daisy was the new Phyllis. 🙂
Good for HIM!
I saw Michael Graziadei in one episode of AMERICAN HORROR STORY a few years ago (too creepy a show for me), but recently he did an episode of JUSTIFIED and was very unlike Daniel Romalotti (he was beating up on the woman who played Courtney on SANTA BARBARA and even threw her over his shoulder).
This guy really has some talent and I hope this pilot will springboard him into a bigger television or movie career, though I miss him on Y&R.
i am so glad for micheal – he is so talented…….too bad y&r didn’t see it that way – they never utilized his talent.
Ethel,
It was actually Michael’s decision to leave Y&R. He had been getting so much work outside of Y&R when he was still on the show and I have to believe that after 8 years with Y&R, he’d gotten the necessary training he needed to succeed in prime-time and movies. I wish him all the best.
yes i do know it was his decision to leave – i am just saying it is y&r’s loss because he was leading man material but wasn’t used in that capacity…………..
WOW ..
Prime time soaps are the ‘in thing’ ..
The networks are finally noticing that soaps are like ‘Rock n Roll, they never die ..
(notice; all the prime time soaps are one name;
Revenge
Scandal
Smash
Nashville
Dallas
Vegas
etc etc …
Michael was good on Criminal Minds
when was he on Criminal Minds? I really miss him on Y&R
So happy for Michael… good luck!
I just hope he cuts his hair.
It might help if he took a bath.
(sic) *Eye roll*
Must you be so damn negative k/kay?!
LOVE ‘the Graz’ and am so happy for his new gig! He’s a very talented young guy with a bright future…. loved him on Y&R and pumped to see him front and center of a new primetime drama!

‘The Masked Singer’ Runner-up, Ex- AMC’s Jesse McCartney, Recalls Working With David Canary
If you caught the finale of The Masked Singer this week, you know that “The Turtle” was revealed to be none other than former All My Children star and recording artist, Jesse McCartney.
While McCartney came in as the runner-up, losing out to Kandi Burress, he spoke to Digital Journal about his latest single, “Friends’ and recalled his time working with the one and only David Canary (Ex-Stuart/Adam) on the now defunct ABC daytime drama series.
As a young JR Chandler from 1998-2001, that put him sharing on-screen time with Canary, who played his father. Jesse remembers all of the lines of dialogue thrown at him at a young age was not fun.
When speaking of his time with Canary, McCartney shared: “He was one of the sweetest guys on the planet and he was such a kind soul. He played my father, Adam Chandler, and not only was he the star of the show but he played his own twin brother, Stuart. He had double the lines of any character on the show, and in my three years on the show, he never messed up a line even once. There was a time when David helped me when I was having a moment and I struggled with remembering my lines, so as a result, the soap world for me is very sentimental.”
So, do you remember when Jesse and David were in Pine Valley together? Share your memories via the comment section below.
