Showfax.com has a new script out for OLTL. It is for the contract role of 'Dr. Doug.' I haven't seen the script, but from what I've heard, he's a specialist in infectious diseases. Doug is said to be a warm, caring man in his 50s.

Also, there is one new OLTL picture at ABC MediaNet. It is of the cast and Nelly Furtado. However, it's hard to see just who all from the cast in the picture with her, since those MediNet pics. are so small.

It is the first picture in the first row on the first page of the OLTL pictures.

Infectious diesase? Are they planning an "mysterious" diease storyline in the future?

That's what I'm wondering. I haven't heard anything about it yet if they are. But with OLTL these days, you never know what they've got planned.

With rumors of cancellation, I will not be looking forward to this do happen... unless it gets rid of John and Natalie.

Well, at least he's old(er). He's not one of these 20 something year old losers. Hopefully, this aged, experienced actor will know what he's doing.

He sounds like he could be good....and he is in his fifities. But, there is Dr.Larry Wolek around somewhere. Just use him!

According to a TVGuide.com article, ABC has responded to the rumors by saying they have NO plans on cancelling any of their soaps.

That at least is some good news.

Who are they pairing him with? I hope it isn't Viki because I want Viki and Clint finally.

Paging David Forsyth (ex-John Hudson, AW). Hmmm....wonder if they'll go with a familiar face. DF sprung to my mind immediately.

Here is a larger version of that new ABC MediaNet picture of the cast with Nelly Furtado.

From what I can about it looks like the following cast members are in the picture: Kamar de los Reyes, Renee Elise Goldsberry, David Fumero, Ilene Kristen, Eddie Alderson, John-Paul Lavoisier, Melissa Gall, Kathy Brier, Nathaniel Marston, Kassie DePaiva, Forbes March, Kristen Alderson, Christina Chambers, and Brandon Buddy.

EP Frank Valentini is down in the front.

I'm not sure who the rest of the people are in the picture, but I'm guessing they're probably members of the crew.

Also on the left standing are Chris Beetem(who debuts soon as Tate Harmon) and Beth Ann Bonner(Thalia Sahid).

I hope this new doctor is for Dorian. Definitely do not need a new love interest for Viki. Reunite Viki and Clint dammitt. Clint would NEVER date Dorian after what she's done to Viki, Kevin & Jessica.

Thanks for pointing them out Mulder. I didn't even notice them in the picture.

Don't forget about how she seduced Joey. And she hasn't been all that nice to Natalie either.

But I agree. I would like to see Viki and Clint back together. Let this new guy be paired with Dorian. Since Dorian was once a doctor herself, this would be a good pair.

And, speaking of doctors, bring back Dr. Larry Wolek damnit!

I agree Scotty, Bring back Dr. Larry dammitt! Put him on contract, and bring back his son Dan as well.

They need to bring back the entire Wolek family....along with Karen and Wanda.

Here's a little more info. on 'Dr. Doug': [DOUG] (50's) Caucasian male. Handsome, warm, and caring. Doug is a top doctor of Infectious Diseases. (CONTRACT)
