Members Cheap21 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Yup. Just like cloning, all this intra-breeding has rendered the genre terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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...

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Congrats Cosgrove! I was hoping Forbes March would come back to the role but Cosgrove will do just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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.

Members alexisfan07 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think the thing I'm most excited for is for Cosgrove's first scene and then the opening still containing Mayfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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).

Members Marley Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 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.

Members MontyB Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 DC going to AMC is great news for me because he won't be on OLTL as Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
