ATWT Casting News: DAYS actor moves East


Recommended Posts

  • Members

AP has the acting talent of Charity Rahmer and the charisma of an amputee mute. It will be painful to watch people I love on ATWT like Maura, Michael, Colleen, Jennifer and Jesse interact with such a bad perfomer.

*note to self*

buy extra remotes due to the prediction of many worn out fast forward buttons

I don't think this is bad news. Peck is not the best actor in the world, nor is he the worst, nor will he be the best actor on ATWT, nor will he be the worst actor on ATWT. And personally I thought John Loprieno looked a little old for the part, even though he became my favorite Brad.

May I suggest Christie Clark as a Rosanna recast?

If there's anything ATWT has proven, it's that they'll pick up other show's "hunks" and try and get the fans to sample the show. It doesn't work, however, we never get a bump.

Hopefully, once the stunt casting fails, they'll give him the quick hook.

Well, Austin Peck isn't my favorite actor in the world, but I'm genuinely glad that he got a new job so quickly. I thought that he performed well during Cwikly and Brash's brief tenure, especially his exit scenes "That's all folks." I think he's capable of stepping up his performances, possibly with a little training? One good thing about his move to NYC is that I'm sure that there are more/better acting classes available in the Big Apple than I imagine exist in LA. It would be great if he used the opportunity while he was in NYC to perfect his craft.....

One of the things that I admire about Bryan Datillo and Ali Sweeney is the fact that they still take acting lessons and they're constantly striving to improve their performances. Perhaps with a little coaching and maybe some mentorship from some of the older/more experienced actors at ATWT, Austin Peck might become a good actor....

I will complain until the day he leaves ATWT because I know he will still suck. Going from extreme crap to just crap is not an improvement for me. I don't wanna watch people learn to act. Hogan did this all the time with his teens, like Peyton List.

BTW Erica, I highly doubt Austin Peck will do anything for ATWT's ratings, besides they don't need it, the show is doing great in the ratings these days. Better than DAYS even...

I love hunks and they do need one with two leaving, but find one who can act. Besides, I don't even think he is good looking. I don't like his nose and I find him a little doofus looking. He's nothing special. Certainly no Paul Leydon, Mark Collier or the original Mike, Shawn Christian.

ETA:

Wait, I was reading on another board that Brad is Jack's OLDER brother?! How the hell is that going to be believable? I know they deSORASed Carly to about 30, but there is no way Peck will be believable as Michael Park's younger brother.

Another reason to hate this casting!

Brad is older. Jack believed for years that Brad killed their father (or something?) when in fact is was the drunken mother Delores (right?) I loved Broderick because of her attention to backstory like that, but with so much of that swept under the carpet by Laiman and Sheffer it's difficult to remember all her little side plots.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
