Kyler Lowder is officially OUT as the recast Shayne Lewis. In his place will step daytime veteran and Emmy award winning actor, David Tom (ex-Paul, OLTL; ex-Billy, Y&R) is set to assume the role immediately. "Everyone was very pleased with the work Mr. Lowder did in the beginning of the series, but he appeared to old for the part, especially when we brough in Morgan Englund as a guest star." Shares executive producer Josh Hawkins.

This news comes just shortly after the news, that former "Y&R" and "OLTL" star Heather Tom joins the series as Lucy Cooper Spaulding later this year, after her contract with "ONE LIFE" ends. "For the immediate future I don't see Shayne interacting with Lucy when Heather joins the series, however once established I see a storyline with the two interacting." Shares Hawkins.

Tom's time with 'TL' will be short, even though the actor signed a multi-year contract. "Both Alexa (Havins, Marah) and David will be offscreen for awhile in the coming weeks because of the stalker storyline." Shares Hawkins. Look for D. Tom on Monday.
