They've been vague about his age but I'm going with 21. Old enough where he could date Joy or a possibly single Chanel, but young enough that he could date Holly without it being creepy.

This has been making the rounds...behold Phillip's incredibly realistic leg prosthetic!

I really have to agree here. In Chad's case, I'm thinking he might just have finally realized that acting really isn't for him. He's 38-ish, his dad died, and he may have looked in the mirror and realized that he doesn't want to keep doing this. It's not like soap opera life is a cushy job, either. It's essentially like doing a play every day, with no rehearsals and 15-hour days or whatever. Evan REALLY tried everything he could to get the producers to like him and want to keep him around. And I honestly think that's why he lasted as long as he did last. Honestly he might do okay. The really bad Kristina that everyone said was an awful actress wound up having a pretty decent career after all. He should probably get Cameron Mathison to hook him up with Hallmark or whatever.

I honestly don't think Chad Duell has any Illusions about what's waiting for him. He's pushing 40 and he stayed on the show for about 15 years without trying to break out. I could see Evan Hofer actually trying because he's still young. I can see the BI actually being about Evan, although it does surprise me if he made the choice to leave because he's been sucking up to his cast members on social media.

I had totally forgotten about that.

The choreographer Mandy Moore or the actress/singer Mandy Moore?

I checked his Wiki and it doesn't mention any children. It seems unlikely he would have had any kids during his time in Salem because it doesn't seem like he had any notable pairings. I'm assuming his kid was born and raised in Europe.

Hope herself was a fairly heavy SORAS- she was born on-screen in 1974, and was 18 years old by 1983. Child Hope was played by Natasha Ryan from '75 to '80, and then in '81 Hope was aged out to a teenager by Tammy Taylor. Kristen Alfonso took over as 17 going on 18 in 1983. I had a teacher in college go on a rant about "Little Hope suddenly being a teenager and getting married" at one point. I think they're having him wear facial hair because they don't want us to think he and Tate are the same age. LOL

I vote for The Facts of Life theme. But like, sadly. Sung slow like Bette Midler sings "The Glory of Love" at the end of Beaches. (She did co-write the song and Alan is dead so I would assume she has the rights to it, although copyright is a thorny issue.)

Most likely, although it could be worth it for them to contact Gregory Harrison, who did a fantastic job on GH. He wasn't really a leading romantic man on the show, per se, but he did a great job with his mature friendships with Tracey and Alexis on GH. There isn't really his type (handsome dignified mature elder man) on this show either now that Doug is gone. (Not a knock against Steve but he is still being played as the daredevil type in his 70's.) I could totally see Gregory playing a doctor.

Given the beard I think he's probably intended for the young adult set so Joy it is. Although it's possible he could be young enough and old enough to flit between both sets, like Melanie did. If they make him 21 he could reasonably date an 18-year old high school senior or a 25-year old.

Here we are at the end of 2024 and his career has been officially revived with "Nobody Wants This" in Netflix. I haven't seen it yet but I do want to watch it.

Chrishell Stause is on Neighbours as a woman scheming for revenge.

Yeah, he's not a child star who struggled to transition to adult roles. Although the beard makes me wonder if he's playing closer to his age. They seem to be playing Joy like she's around 25, so maybe he's for her? It doesn't seem like she's going to actually develop feelings for Johnny. They could play him as being about 21, which would make him acceptable for both Holly and Joy. (Personally It also does call back to Brady, who was about 19 when he showed up on the show in the form of Kyle Lowder.)
