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.

    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.
    • The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.
    • Very very well said!!!

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
