According to Soap Opera Digest, Forbes March has joined the cast of As the World Turns. He's going to play the role of Mason, Noah's college professor. Mason is gay, but won't come between Luke and Noah says March. His first airdate is July 14th.

But he will die or he will be arrested. Cuz that's how ATWT rolls.

Brian didn't, but that may be because they got a good response to him.

I don't think much of Forbes March as an actor (his best feature was usually his chest), but I like the idea of Noah learning from a gay professor, since his only real exposure to life as a gay man has been from Luke. If they aren't giving this story any type of sexual element then that opens up the door for something which is more about emotional issues, Noah changing and questioning things, Luke resenting this professor.

I don't know if they will do any of this but I hope they won't go the route of making him evil or having him sexually harass Noah or any of that.

Hmmm..interesting...I liked it him on AMC but not on OLTL. I doubt that he won't come between Nuke.

Brian didn't, but that may be because they got a good response to him.

Yeah, but Brian disappeared, and I fully expect Mason to stick around for a month at the least, two months tops. If I'm wrong, that's great.

But will he have to kiss a man?

Happy that FM found work again. A bit disappointed, though, because I wanted them to admit their mistake and do a 'Bobby-in-the-shower' type thing and bring Nash back to OLTL. But I guess that wasn't likely with Valentini and Carlivati still running the show. Much as I like FM, I'm not going to start watching another soap just to see him.

What mistake? What exactly were Nash's future prospects? More yelling?

Yes, Nash is the last person they need to bring back from the dead. Actually, no one fits that bill.

I've never seen him, so is he any good?

Please let him be good so he can rescue Luke from Noah and make him more interesting again!

I am intrigued.

I loved this news when I read it... I cast Forbes March in a gay role on Beyond the Horizon, so I'll be able to live vicariously through ATWT. Hope I can survive the rest of the show just to see March.

Forbes March does have talent, IMO. I actually liked him better on OLTL. His Scott on AMC just came off as a airhead hunk, whereas Nash actually was smart, had a personality, etc... I got the feeling he responded better to a character that was written as having wit. Hopefully for a professor, Mason will be smart.

ATWT gain is AMC's loss. I had hoped AMC would've snatched him back up as Scott Chandler again. Guess I'll have to start tuning into ATWT once again this summer when I go on my 8 week hiatus we always get for work. Okay I soooo need a banner.

I didn't know that was your movie. I'll have to check it out.

Well Beyond the Horizon isn't a movie, it's an online soap opera I've been writing since November 2007. Please do check it out! Most recent updates are found through the DRtv link in my signature!
