Nice to have it confirmed.

Jordi is an actor who I found intolerable when he was the hot young thing on GL but who I grew to really respect in what was largely a thankless role on AMC, where he had developed real gravitas and was intensely earnest and engaging in addition to sexy. I don't think he's ever gotten enough strong material. BTG has its growing pains but one thing I don't think they'll do is take him for granted.

I actually enjoyed Jordi on GL but the writing was all over the place for the character especially with that disastrous push for Tony & Marah.

But you’re right, I don’t think he’s ever gotten good writing or been given a good role. He was a bright spot on Fashion House I do remember, but a DOA recast for an already pointless character on Days and then of course his thankless role as Rey on Y&R never did him justice before he was abruptly fired and shamelessly killed off. I forgot he was on AMC but I was barely watching by that point.

Hopefully BTG will be good for him as he is talented.

I'm happy about this! I want them to lean into casting more soap names not only for buzz but also because they need people who understand the game and can perform. Sure things, if you will. I also think Jen Jacob has had really bad luck with story in season one. Hopefully she actually has chemistry with his character and she becomes more watchable.

He's so awful in any role he plays gag me

Yeah not a fan and the fact they are pairing him with Ashley doesn’t bode well at all.

I feel like that's their target heading into 2026. New blood has been nice, but 'names', especially those we do not often see, could do well for this soap in the New Year.

Agreed

He's an awful actor.

At least he was hot when he was on Guiding Light.

Another bad mistake by BTG.

I'm sorry, but Jordi isn't bringing any buzz for the show..

He's not a big name, in my opinion.

Him with Jen Jacob is the last thing I want tbh, but I like Jordi and I'm just happy to have a hot, talented Latino dude coming onboard. Alegria is dreadful.

I've never seen this guy before... So I'm gonna give him a chance.

What worries me is the fact that they are investing in Ashley. It seems we are gonna be subjected to a lot more of her in the second year.

I wish he were a SORASed Tomas recast lol

Anyway Jordy is good vibes. Love his smile. Btw his character seems doomed.

Jordi can be Tomas' brother or something and Tomas can die in a horrific Zamboni accident. I don't care. Anything.

They might as well have recast Tomas with Jordi.
