A few days ago, Life in Salem announced they would be bringing two men in for contract roles, well, fans have helped, and the producers have finally decided who the first man that they mentioned will be.

Dan Gauthier will be joining the cast as a rich tyrant, Forrest Alamain! Yes, fans are probably very confused as to what is going on, because John Black is supposedly Forrest. Well, John may be related to the Alamain's through Daphne, but he is practically two people in the Alamain family, he is Forrest, who is Lawerence's brother, and Daphne is the sister in law of Leopold, there fore John is in a way related to them in two ways. Life in Salem is going o fix this by bringing the REAL Forrest Back, and he has a great storyline ahead of him!!!

Gauthier is on contract.
