According to TV Insider, Daniel Cosgrove will make his debut as Ezra Boyle on March 21.

Not sure how I feel about this

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.

No, but he's sure using the space from Tajh Bellow, Chad Duell, Evan Hofer, Charles Mesure, and Kelly Monaco.

LMFAO, OMG this is so accurate 🤣

I thought the same when I saw this news pop up on my phone.

Is GH about to get cancelled?

It wouldn't get cancelled; ABC outright owns the soap, so they could say "shut down" tomorrow, and it'd be done.

But not in the same sense of CBS or NBC canceling something.

Well NBC took it off the airwaves.😂

I wouldn't be hiring him.😂

Exactly!😂

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.

lol. You two...

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.
