Okay this sounds interesting. Jesse's time away be not be as predictable as we thought.

I don't know if I can post the whole thing but if you go the official ABC website for AMC it says that David Rasche has been cast as Rob Gardner, Tad's uncle, and that Rob will be involved in the mystery surrounding Jesse's absence.

This could be good.

Pine Valley's New Bad Boy

Watch out Pine Valley: A new villain is coming to town! Veteran actor David Rasche joins the cast of All My Children on Friday, February 29 as Tad Martin's uncle, Rob Gardner. Those familiar with AMC history will recognize the infamous last name. Rob's brother, Ray Gardner, was Tad's biological father and evil to the core. Before Ray died, his many sins included abandoning Tad at age eight, raping Ruth Martin (Tad's adoptive mother) and trying to blow up the Martin family home!

Rob continues the family tradition. Look for him to be intimately connected with the mystery surrounding Jesse's "death" twenty years ago.

David Rasche's career spans film, television and the stage. He is perhaps best known for the title role in the cult 80s TV show, Sledge Hammer. Movie credits include The Sentinel, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, United 93, An Unmarried Woman and Flags of our Fathers. Rasche was a member of Chicago's famous Second City improvisation troupe. This is not the actor's first foray into daytime. In 1981, he played the role of Wes Leonard on the ABC Daytime drama Ryan's Hope.

Thank you, now jerica fans can stop saying Sam is someone responsible for jesse problems.

David Rasche is a good actor, loved him in Sledge Hammer

This looks interesting! I am excited to see him come onboard

REALLY good news!

AMC still isn't that great (for the most part), but it does seem they're at least making some effort to improve it.

Now, if only we could get rid of the Fusion silliness, the Zendall/Babe & JR repetiveness, and Ryan!

Anyway....

I hope this means we'll see Ruth more and the Martin house. When was the last time that set was shown....... 2003????

I don't know what to think about this.

I don't know what to think about this.

Why?

Just wondering

This is GREAT! Perfect connection to the past...this is totally Agnes Nixon I believe. No way would B&E decide to bring a character from a core family and storyline from the distant past to tie into the Jesse/Angie/Tad thing today. Amazing!

I'm with Skin: I don't know what to think about this. It's certainly the first I've heard of Ray having a biological father.

ETA: Did I say "father"? I meant "brother". Whoops, lol.

He was absolutely amazing on Ryan's Hope. Sexy, hilarious and very charming. Like an old school Tuc Watkins or Trent Dawson.

It says Rob is Ray's brother.

Yeah, I just caught that. Notice my ETA above.

I am going to need him to kill Krystal.

Well if you want him to kill kwak, he might as well go ahead and kill babe too.
