Of course the character will have ties to Daniel.

I was hoping that the first casting news would be the firing of SC, but I guess that was just wishful thinking.

"Legitimate Australian"

Is that Australian racism?

[Ben]

I think they mean someone who is Australian, as opposed to an American with an Aussie accent. It is an odd choice of words, though.

Anyway, LA should be chock full of ex-Neighbours and Home & Away actors for them to choose from.

ETA: I should have read the article first before posting! But still, think of all the out of work Aussie actors already in LA (on their doorstep), and Days are searching, literally, from Australia. Seems a bit odd.

Ages 20 to 35? That's a huge age gap. I'd have suggested Ingo Rademacher if not for that

I'm more happy with what Greg Meng said below. Does Days intend to honor its anniversary or are we going to be stuck with more newbies like this Australian doctor?

I think I'd rather have Matt Ashford or Peter Reckell back on my screen, Greg. But who knows if this is what you've got in mind?

I was mostly joking, because it reminded me of the Tammin Sursok fan wars here and elsewhere.

Well here's a suggestion:

Dan Ewing with his sexy ass! I think he moved to LA recently and he fits the bill of what DAYS normally casts.

when the casting call asked for a legitimate Australian Im sure it also meant legitimate actor

[NothinButAttitude]

You almost made me use some words that could get me banned from the site.

She's fine on PLL, I'd leave her there

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Just bring back Quinn Hudson

I'll admit it's a little surreal, on top of the talented young Australian who came over here just to put on an American accent and play Kyle Abbott on Y&R. (He's too good for the show, based on past work.)

Or Colin Murphy, who actually was a doctor.
