Johnny?

 

And I posted this in the news thread about her leaving but I'll repost it here.

 

I'm sorry Lind is leaving. She's really come into her own as she gets older and I was hoping they'd let her continue to grow in the role. But I also understand Lind is in demand and would leave at any chance for a lead role elsewhere, so ... I get it.

Darn! That hurts. And like @detroitpiston said, part of the reason I liked the Faith story up to where I am at right now is because we got to see this actress (and the one before) grow up before our eyes a la GH Robin, OLTL Jessica, Y&R Cassie so the audience already has an emotional attachment to her. Not to mention the shades of Cassie the storyline itself gives. All of that gets taken away with a new actress.

 

But best of wishes to Lind. She has been busy and it's been good to see the studio work with her, but it is what it is.

Here's the earlier tweet on the same casting

 

 

More pics of him here.

LOL his IMDB says he's a classically trained Shakespearean actor.
It says that here too:

But all he's really done is this one movie

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/adventure-force-5-vudu-trailer-kids-take-mysterious-terraborgs-1258072

 

 

Someone asked what role he's playing. .. well ..

 

Wed March 24 CDN / Thurs March 25 US,

Faith wanted to go to Crimson Lights to meet some mystery "boy" who has been texting her.  The person texting (supposedly a teen boy) said he'd arrive with a red backpack. Faith had her mind made up that she's going to meet this mystery boy, so Nikki agreed to take her.
 

Nikki and Faith were seated and a teen-aged boy walks in and sits down
-- but his backpack isn't red. He's carrying backpack that is gray or black.  He walked in and sat down in a booth and didn't seem to be looking to meet anyone.
 

Since his backpack wasn't red, and he wasn't looking to meet anyone, he couldn't have been the person trying to meet Faith. Faith and Nikki waited some more but nobody came, so Nikki took Faith back to the ranch.

 

Here are some screengrabs of 

"Unnamed Boy with no lines at whom Nikki and Faith stared for a few seconds"

 

 

 

 

 

 

This tweet isn't mine but it captures the same scene:

So does anyone thing the boy with the black backpack who had no lines -- is the actor Donald Bowen?   The site that announced his casting sometimes makes announcements about dayplayers, so I don't know.

I guess he could be Johnny since Johnny isn't blood related to Faith although he has been raised as her cousin. Connor is related and I assume this guy is a love interest for her. He reminds me a little bit of Michael Graziadei. I can only hope he's as good of an actor.

 

@janea4old that doesn't look like the same guy to me. That scene didn't amount to anything. It will become apparent if you watch the next episodes after that one.

Yes I agree that the scene didn't amount to anything. Jordan was texting and pretending to be a boy.  Faith and Nikki were there waiting for a person who didn't exist. Jordan was torturing Faith.

My point was that sometimes the soapoperanews website announces someone is cast, and then it turns out to be a dayplayer.(This doesn't happen often but occasionally it does). I was just speculating that maybe all the actor does on Y&R is that one random scene with no lines. 

 

Another random theory .... maybe Faith meets runs into that "boy with black backpack" in a week or two somewhere, and even though they don't know each other now, maybe they meet later on and say "hey didn't I see you at Crimson Light a while back?... hello my name is ... " . He could be a new character unrelated to anyone.

 

I'm just throwing guesses out there.  I'm probably wrong but it's fun to guess.

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
