Is this Frankie V using the cap space losing Jeff Kober provides?

When I see Cosgrove I think back on that run in the 00s where every long running show he’d join got cancelled. Its a miracle Days is still chugging.

DAYS still hasn't been canceled, on the network or not.

I have no real use for Cosgrove, but he initially joined AMC 15 years before it was canceled, and GL almost a decade before it was canceled. He's the Ted McGinley of daytime in that any show he joined that was canceled was already on its last legs (and several, like Married with Children or Dynasty, still went on for a while). 

This does feel like another case of Frank trying to hire any daytime vet who is willing to show up, because this either reminds him of happier years or he is so stuck in the past he actually believes this will get someone new to tune in. 

I actually think Cosgrove would be more suited to Beyond the Gates as one of their supporting white characters. He's a competent but not very interesting actor who won't steal the spotlight.

I wonder if he does stay around if he's intended as a new love interest for Carly, as I doubt Brennan is going to stay around long.

Do I really think Daniel Cosgrove is a show killer?  No.  But he IS a very boring actor, which, as we all know, is Frank's favorite kind.

Meanwhile, at the rate they're going, they'll have to relocate to the L.A. Coliseum just to tape everyone.

Right. Sometimes people think NBC canceled them but I don't think that actually happened. Instead I think because the "Beyond Salem" projects were thought of as positives, and likely because they wanted the subscriber base, Peacock actively wanted it. 

When GH was panic-casting for NuJack, Danny Cosgrove read, with Laura, but wasn't chosen, but as often happens, MarkT or whomever tagged him as someone they liked enough to want, for *some* possible role. 

I wondered if he is for Nina but it's because she's been solo for so long & also because she's more or less comfortable with the political arena. 

I also think the show will cut Brennan lose after they transfer a bunch of bad character aspects to him but that's also just speculation.

    • -- That accent Cady McClain is using is awful, and it was especially bad in her first scene. Make it stop. -- I agree with all the good and all the bad about Dani, but I do not want Andre to get swept up in her craziness. He deserves better. -- "Better" for Andre is not Ashley. The crazy thing is that the Andre/Dani and Andre/Ashley stories seem to be a part of separate universes. -- The jewelry guy (Adam) who sat with Dani and Pamela had my gaydar pinging. -- I will say the writers are working overtime to make us know Dani and Andre "aren't really related." -- I don't think Leslie will be arrested next week. I think Eva is going to remove the evidence -- that motorcycle helmet -- from the apartment, and that they'll find nothing on the search. -- That wig on Sharon is rough. Wow.

    • I never liked Reva, either the first time around, or the second. My issue for the first go round was that Reva dominated the show, which was a shame because I didn't like the character.  Loud, insecure, narcissistic "look at me", "here I am, entertain me" individuals irritate me in real life.  It wouldn't have mattered to me who portrayed the character...Zimmer or someone else. Reva is a character inherently inimical to the idea of ensemble.   Post 1995, Reva was no longer a character, but a device.    
    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin

    • -- I didn't want to be the first person to mention it, because I've complained so much about Chandler Massey's smirking and grinning in the past. He just cannot get through a scene without breaking -- that grin broke through every time he ran into another character today. He looks young -- and good -- but I am not a fan of this acting. He's not trying. -- I agree with others here about this goodbye. The bandaged John is a throwback and a full circle moment, but it's gone on too many days already. I especially hate the "He's getting better" stuff. That doesn't work since we all know how this ends. -- I'm glad to see the return of all these characters and I love the flashbacks, but I think DAYS could have done all that without the bandaged exit.
