Members OLTL_fan Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 SOD is reporting OLTL wants to recast the role of Joey Buchanan. The Search Is On For OLTL's Joey! ONE LIFE TO LIVE has put out a casting call for Viki and Clint's adult son Joey. The contract role is described as "mid to late 30s, extremely good-looking, successful, warm, kind, charming, finance guy." The last actor to play the role was CASTLE star Nathan Fillion, who popped in for two episodes in 2007 and had previously filled Joey's shoes from 1994-97. When OLTL was looking to recast the role last year, Daniel Cosgrove (Chris, ATWT et al) was up for the part, but reportedly turned it down. Joey was once paired in a popular romance with Gina Tognoni's Kelly, and in an upcoming issue of Digest, OLTL Head Writer Ron Carlivati teases, "Our thoughts for Kelly are turning to romance." Hmm... http://soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Maybe theyll cast someone from ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 It would be nice to see Joey again. I hope they will cast Chris McKenna and not just randomly hire yet another guy who would best be served as an underwear model, or just hire someone like Cosgrove, who is good but has been cast in this type of role so many times already he no longer plays a character. Kelly/Joey always made me cringe, no matter who played Joey. I'd love to see Joey again but I hate to think of who he could be paired with.

Members MichaelGL Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 Oh you know they're going to go there with Kelly/Joey, simply bc they have nothing for GT/Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 If he didn't look so young ATWT's Billy Magnussun(sp?) would be great as Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm attached to Nathan Fillion as Joey -- and to his lingering feelings for Dorian! But yeah, Nathan Fillion was so sweetly sexy in the role. Plus he's always been loyal to OLTL, even given all his Primetime success, including coming back for Asa's funeral and whatnot. I know OLTL has to move on from this one actor and stuff but... it is a bit of a slap in the face. Oh, well. Cheap, Greg Vaughan is a good idea but I think he is tied indefinitely to LA, where his family is. I was going to suggest Austin Peck but 1. he is not universally loved by soap viewers, 2. he gives off a "dumb lug" vibe which was NOT Joey and 3. he might look younger than even Gina Tognoni, let alone La Strasser. How about OLTL let Gina go and she hustle on over to Y&R as the Victoria recast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MontyB Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 Joey and Kelly made me cringe too. I hated those Phelps years. Anyway, you mentioned Chris McKenna. He grew up to be a handsome guy. I can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OLTL_fan Posted September 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 I just remembered that Joey and Rex have history because of Jen. If Rex does hook up with Kelly, it could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrishntr Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 Finally bringing back one of Viki's sons, to bad he's already being slated for Kelly. I guess they have no intentions of letting GT go, so the ONLY way that Kelly will work in their books is to bring back Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fanOLTL Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 My first thought was Austin Peck as well. I think he'd be perfect. I'm not on board with Kelly/Joey pairing though. If Kelly needs romance, can you bring back Dan Gauthier as Kevin and let them get back together? It's just kinda gross to think of Kelly/Joey, then Kelly/Kevin, then Kelly/Kevin's son Duke, then Kelly/Joey again. Just eww. Although kelly/Joey could be referred to as Jelly, so that could be fun =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrishntr Posted September 9, 2010 Members Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've given up any hope that they will bring back DG as Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
