I could believe that he was a navy seal, now lets just hope he can act.

Ratings are sinking, so what do we do? Why, hire more newbies, of course!

They should have brought him on as CJ bc thats one character that needs to come on the show.

I think he's needed considering that Gigi's secret has yet to come out. I think his introduction could rush along that.

Yeah, OK.

Bring back Vange.

That'll increase viewership.

Frank Valentini is turning out to be the 21st Century Soap Producer version of John Conboy....We all know how much Conboy loved non acting hunks in skivvies.

How can anyone be down on this (unless the guy can't act)? OLTL is the best soap on TV at the moment with being--I don't know--logical.

He is a cutie but is he contract? If he is he could pass for a CJ Roberts or Charlie's son with those blue eyes. I think this guy is only a temp though for s/l purposes.

We don't know he's contract.

He looks devious, like he could play the part of a schemer very well. I think he should've been CJ Roberts too, considering his mother Tina was the town queen of schemes. Like mother like son?

Why bother casting a former flame of Gigi's???? I think Rex playing her former flame is sufficient and yet I am waiting for a huge splash and true focus on a storyline between the Rex/Gigi pairing. Enough of the predictable of the storyline.

LOL! He looks like JPL! Yeah so not needing another newbie.

I dont get why we're getting so down on OLTL casting new actors. The show currently has the most ballance between new, old and vet characters that I can remember. Soaps need new characters to keep themselves fresh, and as long as we're still seeing the established characters in storylines and the new characters are working out - they're doing everything they should be doing. So far, their recent additions have all worked out (ie the Paris TX diner crew, Jared and Charlie, Gigi, Talia. Ramsey's turning out to be an ok villain) , so I think we should have faith the writers know what they're doing.

I think we've all see how bad it can get when a soap revolves around the same group of 15 people for too long (Days of Our Lives)

I agree, soaps need new characters who are not related to veteran characters to keep storylines fresh. One Life to Live has done a great job in integrating the recent newbies without forcing them down the viewers throats.

I do not think this new character will be a contract player unless he is CJ roberts. Why can't this guy be CJ?? Wasn't he last seen as a child? Gigi came from Michigan, last heard CJ was stationed in Michigan (Navy). Maybe he is going by a nickname?

While this Brody character may be a temporary character, there are many possible s/l's if it does turn out to be CJ. It will be interesting to see what RC has up his sleeve.
