What soap should snatch John Driscoll up?


Recommended Posts

I keep thinking after today's great performance from John Driscoll. What an amazing young actor. He has so grown in his over four years on GL. I would love to see him in primetime. I think ABC should snatch him up somewhere. I think Driscoll is fabulous young and very good looking but talented. After today, I have a feeling this is definitely not the last we will see of John Driscoll.

Days: Andrew Donovan(I personally think James Scott should have been him) or Jeremy Horton

AMC: Scott Chandler or Tim Dillon

OLTL: CJ Roberts or Max's son

GH: Dillion Q. or a bastard Child of Ned's

Y&R: Nina's baby or Phillip IV

B&B: Thomas Forrester

ATWT: Coop Cooper, not so dead after all or Adam Hughes

He is too young to play Joey, I didnt care for the blonde recast in the 2004!

Driscoll needs very strong writing (which sadly he only got in these last few weeks) in order to shine. I don't know which soap fits the bill. I guess Y&R, but they're already heavy on men in his age range.

I like the Joey Buchanan idea, but I can't see him with Dorian. I would say he could be Duke, or Drew, but OLTL took care of that by killing them, so thanks a hell of a lot, OLTL.

Maybe AMC could finally bring Sam back. Not sure what they would do with him but I still dream some day of them finally dealing with Sam's relations with the Martins and face his parents.

Or maybe AMC could bring back Jamie. Driscoll is about the right age for Jamie.

I think he is too young for Joey on OLTL. But I agree with some that he would be a good recast for Adam on ATWT or maybe even Will if they decided they wanted to bring him back over there.

If GH ever decided they wanted to deal with Bobbie's son again he is the right age there too.

He's not as *quirky*, but maybe he could have done the Scott Clifton teacher role on OLTL. I don't see him on OLTL though, b/c in my mind he looks too much like Jared... a Jared recast should there ever be a need for one?

He'd be good on AMC if only to balance J.R.'s energy.

I think he should move to L.A., now's his chance, and see what he can do in the primetime market. Maybe after a little break, he'll find his way back to Y&R which has a revolving door of young dudes his type, or maybe even GH.

    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
