Jason is leaving and Shawn WILL be recast. Source is the TBN.

No...no...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank god!

Let's hope they bring on an actor with some edge. A backbone. Balls, even.

Oh, and one who can act.

I don't care what Jason did or didn't bring to the role. He made the role his OWN. Hell, he WAS Shawn Brady. I can't imagine another actor in the role. I just can't see it. Ever.

So let's bring DAVID LAGO (ex-YR) back to Daytime

Oh heck no. David Lago sucks.

David Lago, as two causian-americans, Hope Williams-Brady & Bo Brady's son??? Maybe as Miguel on Passions or a son of Paul Mendez, but not as Greek-American/Causian-American Shawn Douglas Brady

I am really glad because I think what is holding me back from REALLY loving Shawn is Cook.

Good. We all saw what Martha did with Belle so someone new as Shawn may just be the thing to help this story along, especially with Fath leaving. I actually want Brandt to stay now but I don't think he will.

I hope Days gets someone good. They have made some really good casting decisions of late so I trust them to find someone whether it be newbie or someone with experience.

I think they should bring back the original Shawn-D (Collin O'Donnell) who played the role from 95-99. He is 22 now.

Hogan really has a mess on his hands with this storyline, with 3 of the 4 lead actors leavings..and 1 requiring a recast..I hope he can pull it off..and i hope we get a good actor for shawn...Martha turned out excellent...

OR they could retire the character and cut their losses.

YES! I feel the same way. Jason Cook just sucks... period. Sorry Jason! You should've kept doing those art thingys on Disney Channel (wow, I still remember those )

Good. We all saw what Martha did with Belle so someone new as Shawn may just be the thing to help this story along, especially with Fath leaving. I actually want Brandt to stay now but I don't think he will.

I want Kyle to stay too. He has improved immensely, and he may be able to shine under Sheffer's material. Corday wants him to stay right? He wouldn't have gotten him to stay on longer for the sake of the story. With Sheffer, he may have a better plan for them.

Still, I can't wait to see who they get for Shawn. We definitely need a man in the role

LOL, I remember those arty things on Disney, too!

It'll be weird seeing someone else as Shawn though. Cook has been here since 1999. 7 years is a long time. He's just familiar. But that said, I say bring on a GOOD recast, not someone who looks good without his shirt on.

they need Scott Groff or Colin O'Donnell
