DC in the story gives it a bit more validity. As I said before, he has more of a leading man presence than AM did. I do like Scott and Annie but they seemed doomed to fail; more like a roadblock. I think they could have potential to be a power couple now, depending on if the two actors have chemistry

I thought he was OK. I KINDA get why they think he won't work for this "new direction", and I admit, while he had NOTHING to do at the time, I liked Cosgrove in the role, so I'm not too upset. But yeah, no big surprise, and not something we're really in need of (I mean as much as she's slightly improved, why haven't they recast Randi yet? Carl, I think he was boring largely cuz they had no idea what to do with his character (he certainlyw as one of the more appealing of the newly added "hunks" at the time)

This.

I liked Mayfield. He started to work for me when they paired him with MCE. IMO, he did a good job showing me how Scott truly loves Annie. I didn't buy Scott as some corporate titan in the making but that's because of the writing. I don't see JR that way either and as long as they keep running Chandler Enterprises out of their living room, I never will.

I thought Cosgrove was on the short list to be the next Joey Buchanan.

This is exactly why daytime is dead.

Yup. Just like cloning, all this intra-breeding has rendered the genre terminal.

I think the show is gonna go for Scott & Annie with DC in the role. IMO I think that's why they recast. They want to give Junior some true competition and AM's Scott wasn't that.

Who wants to bet Terri Columbino plays NuMarissa? LOL

I didn't have a strong opinion on Mayfield but if they are firing people based on not being believable leading men then I wish RPG or Cameron Mathison could go...

Congrats Cosgrove! I was hoping Forbes March would come back to the role but Cosgrove will do just fine!

Kimberlin Brown > Daniel Cosgrove

Sorry AMC, but it should be Brown who should be taking on the more prominent role here, if we were to go solely on acting talent.

She's a woman over the age of 25. She's lucky ABC even mentioned her.

+1.

I think the thing I'm most excited for is for Cosgrove's first scene and then the opening still containing Mayfield

I don't get all of this "Adam Mayfield's dull and boring" stuff, it ain't like DC is popping off the screen Mr. Charisma von Showmanship. DC will suffer the same dull and boring streak as AM's Scott unless they do their work in the writers room. It seems very obvious to me that it was always the writing that was handicapping AM's Scott, he played what was on the page and I actually picked up on the actor's desire to go further with the role. They didn't allow him to truly school J.R. like they could have, to really make him a threat b/c the writing is in J.R.'s favor. I dunno, maybe that'll change, but taking a character in a new direction does NOT necessarily require a new actor, and I don't believe it did in this case.

Love her or hate her, you've lost the character of Marissa if you recast her too far from current type. She needs to stay on her side of the court, she doesn't need to be recast in Greenlee/Kendall/Amanda/Annie territory.

is there nobody out there who thought Adam Mayfield was ok? I thought he did a pretty decent job and saw no reason why he should be recast. There was something rather Paul Michael Valley about him.

I agree.

I thought he was fine in the role and don't get why so many people are acting like he's Andrew Ridings or Maximillian Alexander. LOL

I also like him. I like how much he looks like David Canary. But I do have a slight issue seeing him as a "hunk." Being a guy has something to do with it but...still. I believe someone here said he looks like a "loveable dork."

But does Scott have to be a "hunk"? I don't think so, I mean, I know this is a soap and everything. Shane McDermott's Scott was certainly not a hunk (which was kind of surprising to me as he played a "heartthrob" opposite SMG on Swans Crossing). But if they're looking for a Scott that'll *pop* they should have gone with frenetic energy Forbes (which I would have to as well, for the record).

I look forward to JR finally having a worthy opponent and AM as Scott wasn't it.

I personally think this casting is about moving the character of Scott away from the quad and more towrds the Greenlee's and Kendalls where the character of Scott should be in the first place.

DC going to AMC is great news for me because he won't be on OLTL as Joey.
