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

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.
