According to source Ryan on Twitter, there is a new character coming to the show named Rory. Ryan says he has been placed on contract and will be played by actor Michael Blake Kruse. I'm seeing some people say he's 32 IRL.

From Michael Blake Kruse's instagram, it seems his father is white.
His mother seems in photos to be possibly AAPI or multiracial?
The actor's sister identifies as "brown" on her twitter profile.

If the actor is Asian-American in any way, his character doesn't have to be related to Selina and Brad's family.

I'm all for them adding an AAPL contract player, finally. He's very hot. I am not for him being used to push Trina off into the ethnic sidekick role for good and get her away from a hot lead Frank would prefer be with a white girl. Playing a spoiler is fine, but I've seen that other kind of game before and we all have. So we'll see what plays out.

imo, Trina became a sidekick to TPTB when the OG actress left. I cannot imagine that scene in the interrogation room between Trina/Spencer w/ the OG actress and I certainly don't think they would be putting Trina through a trial if the OG actress was still there - she was just too popular for the show to go this route. Now that she's gone, it's gonna be the Joss/Esme show with Trina existing on the periphery. zZZZ

Well, one, that doesn't really make sense because she's been on about two weeks. It was plotted well before Mikayla left the screen. And two, frankly I think the recast was very strong in that scene and IMO at least as strong if not moreso than SM.

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
