"Casting for the role of Congressman Scott Wheeler. Distinguished, physically fit 50/60 year old male, who would play a skilled, full of himself politician. Will start shooting immediately."

I wonder if this is a true new character or a recast of Tucker and I wonder what his purpose will be. It does seem like they've added quit a few characters. This is the fourth new male role cast. I don't blame them though because I do feel the show is lacking proper male leads.

But, if MEK loses some weight can he please play the role?

No way. His sense of humor is sorely needed as DAYS' Dr. Mike Horton. Middle-age spread or no middle-age spread.

I like him 'fluffier' anyways. But, I just cannot get into DAYS at all. But, maybe he's what I need to start watching the show. Added bonus to that would to also be able to watch my #2 man....Wally flipping Kurth!

They shouldn't recast Tucker, just kill that f.ucking character off already.

Kale Brown for Jess Walton?

I don't know who that is but I sure hope Y&R has Jess Walton in mind when they cast that Congressman because it's time to give Jill an decent love interest. Stephen Nichols is too tiny too be paired with her, when they sat him down next to Jill, Lily, and Cane for dinner it looked like Tucker needed a booster seat. Not that size is the only problem, I can't see Jill ( or any female character) being interested in a man who treats women the way he does. Tucker was ruined as soon as they re-cast and re-made him in the image of Victor.

I wish they would discover that Tucker wasn't Kay's son and he was conning Kay in order to get revenge on her and Victor. Maybe for a past business deal that Chancellor Industries & Newman Enterprises were in on together that screwed McCall Unlimited out of big bucks??? I don't know, I'd rather find out that Charlotte Ramsey sold Kay's baby to the highest bidder (an Australian mob family perhaps? LOL ) instead of bring him to the hospital. A somewhat reformed Colin would be fun as Kay's son after we forget about Genevieve...or not, and Kay's real son could be discovered later if the Congressman doesn't work out..

Un-relating Tucker and Kay would also solve the Devon problem. There is NO drama with Devon being the heir to TWO humongous fortunes. Sure he's lucky, but it makes any story boring. Kill off Tucker and let Devon inherit and see how it changes him, or Devon should have to deal with his AZZhole bio-father if he wants the $$$.

I really don't know where a politician would fit on this show.

They [read: she must not be named] tried it with the congress battle and that mastermind character David Chow and it was a huge success indeed. This won't work. Michael as DA is not working either. Politicians, DAs, Police Commissioners is typical soap stereotype stuff that has been done to death.

Someone on another board said that Mark Pinter got the role.

Yep.

Pinteresting.

Was? What have you heard? They aren't divorced, are they?

She's dropped his name, there were some things online if you look hard enough about why the marriage failed.
