Members Dan Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Later, when Hogan was writing the show he wanted to bring SDF back in a major storyline, but TPTB at the time, who never liked the actor, nixed the idea. :Cough Cough: LUCY JOHNSON :cough cough: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think it's horrible the way Scott was treated, especially since he remains very popular with the fans. Why didn't they like him? I recall reading he wasn't hunky enough, but I thought he was good looking, a good actor and perfect for the role. This recast will be yet another new character with a familar name. Lets hope he's better than nuChris, although that won't be too difficult. Charity Rahmer is better than nuChris.

Members David_Vickers Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 The IMDB link is a dead link. ATWT should bring back Scott DeFrietas as Andy, and should re-cast Dusty as well, or bring back Brian Bloom as Dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'd rather see Scott De Freitas back for a short visit instead of letting a new guy play Andy for an extended period. Even if they found a "hunkier" actor, they'd probably subject Andy to the character assassination that almost every recasted part has suffered on Goutman's watch.

Members Faulkner Posted December 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Sorry, the link should be working now...the actor's name is Michael McLafferty. It's sad that they treated Scott DeFreitas so badly. He was one of the best young actors on soaps. I think he's way too earthy, complicated, and VULNERABLE an actor to fit into the blank-slate, leading man soap mold. Word is he wouldn't even want to come back at this point.

Members stenbeck212 Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 At the P&G board, there's word that Scott found fulfillment in the real estate industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members koos Posted December 17, 2007 Members Share Posted December 17, 2007 Oh please god no! ATWT is *horrible* when it comes to recasts. Plus, they'd probably make Andy really unsavoury or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted December 25, 2007 Members Share Posted December 25, 2007 I liked Michael McLafferty from his short stint on GH. however, he looks more suitable for a Dusty re-cast to me. He might be good as Andy, I don't know. I'd rather see Scott DeFreitas back or someone who looked more similiar to Scott. As long as ATWT doesn't radically change Andy's personality, a recast may work. It may be DeFreitas's decision not to return since he's now in real-estate and he's enjoying that.

Members Khan Posted December 26, 2007 Members Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yeah. As if this George Eads-alike would have anything in common looks-wise w/ Kathryn Hays' Kim or Larry Bryggman's Dr. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
