OLTL looking to recast a Buchanan

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...

Maybe theyll cast someone from ATWT.

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.

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? :lol:

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 =)

    • This is so confusing. So will CBS and P.Plus just be a day ahead for the rest of the episodes the whole week? 
    • April 15, 1993 is when they first meet. 
    • Does anyone know the air date when Victoria & Cole first meet? Was there a scene when Victoria was sitting on Cole's lap and kissed him? If so, does anyone know the air date?    
    • When is the last time Bridget & Deacon scene happened?
    • Surely that was a joke. Why would anyone seriously ask if Dani had any rooms besides having a bedroom? MOST of the time when we see her, she's in that open, airy, white room with her kitchen far stage left & there's an island & a love seat.  I have meant to post to say how taken I was with Eva last Thursday. You don't know it but I have  not really gotten into either Eva or Leslie/Sheila/Anna/Dana/Mom in the same ways or degrees most of y'all have.  With "Many Names" I get that it's quite a challenge to play that evil & that crazy without becoming cartoonish & she hasn't, so there is that. But, I do not see layers or nuance. I also do not fault the actress. If the gray tones are not there on the page, I don't expect to see them ripped out of thin air. With Eva there were so many questions. Now most have been answered.
    • No kidding. It’s amazing to me that CBS as messy as it was for the 97-98 season landed at #2 that year thanks to Sunday nights, 1/2 of the Monday night lineup, Diagnosis Murder on Thursdays, and oddly the Saturday night line-up. I think CBS was saved by the Winter Olympics not to mention ABC had gotten even messier than CBS’ mess.  CBS came out a more solid for #2 for the 98-99 season but was still very uneven overall. Outside of Sundays the rest of the network’s hits were on checkerboard split between Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.    Had it not been for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire fever I’d say CBS probably would’ve been at #2 for the 99-00 season as well, very much still uneven but of course Survivor and CSI were on the horizon. (*There’s some evidence that CBS may have barely eked out a win for #2 for the 96-97 season but that season’s mess sure doesn’t feel that way)
    • By request, I present to you "Abbott Communications".  
    • Meh, I'm a bit tipsy after coming from a Mother's Day festivity. I should have posted a picture of her and Andre in her little great room.
    • Their question was does she only have a bedroom lol
