Cosgrove Not Joining ONE LIFE TO LIVE

Soap Opera Digest is reporting that GUIDING LIGHT's Daniel Cosgrove is not going to move to ONE LIFE TO LIVE as Joey Buchanan.

Despite all the buzz that Daniel Cosgrove (Bill, GL) will be ONE LIFE TO LIVE's next Joey Buchanan, it's not happening. A setsider says Cosgrove will not be joining the ABC soap.

My dream is still alive that AS THE WORLD TURNS will cast him as Chris Hughes.

  1. I hope he doesn't disappear...I really love Daniel Cosgrove. He's got so much charm and charisma...I don't understand why he's not a big screen actor.

  2. The soap role I wanted him to play was Chris Hughes on ATWT so maybe that could still happen.

  3. I'm a little bummed. I want to see Daniel Cosgrove *somewhere* after Guiding Light wraps up. He's that rare combination of handsome and hilarious.

  4. I want Daniel Dosgrove on OLTL as Joey. I think it would be absolutely perfect casting.

    I don't want danny to join ATWT since it will most likely be cancelled in less than a year.

    Any chance SOD is wrong???

  5. marley, until he signs somewhere else I don't see why it's not still possible.

    But I wouldn't be so sure OLTL will be around that much longer than ATWT at this point. We are in a perilous state with our daytime soaps. Which is one reason why I'm trying to appreciate them as much as possible while they're still around.

  6. I know I want to see Daniel Cosgrove somewhere in soaps. I have to agree with Roger I think he would be the perfect Chris Hughes. I could see him reprising the Scott Chandler role on AMC, but if money was the problem for OLTL, I guess it would be the same for AMC. I was really hoping he would be Joey though.

  7. If Cosgrove chooses ATWT over OLTL, the man needs help! Has he watched ATWT lately? Has he looked at the ratings?

  8. Roger,

    You're right about perilous times. As good as OLTL is doing, it's nowhere near as high in the ratings as Y&R and B&B, the two soaps with the best survival chances.

  9. I only consider Y&R, B&B and GH safe beyond next year. And GH not because it's amazing right now or has great ratings, but just because it is a brand name that is recognized beyond soaps.

    Our shows could disappear quickly.

    I just wish they were all consistent produced in a top notch way so we would know definitively if a good, quality soap could attract ratings, or at least not bleed viewers so rapidly.

  10. If he was to portray Chris Hughes on ATWT, who would you pair him up with? Chris'last 2 relationships on the show were with Emily and Alison. Would you like to see him rekindle a romance with one of them or someone new. How about Janet's sister Teri?

  11. Outside of Simon, I have always wanted Katie to be with Chris Hughes. I think that relationship was meant be. But now that Katie has had so many "loves of her life" who knows.

    There's Alison, Teri, Maddie, AUDREY!

  12. Katie should stay with Brad. For such a young woman, she's had too many husbands. Margot joked about this when Katie was thinking of getting married to Jack again.

  13. I loved Simon and Katie. Is Chris the one that used to be with Abigail?? It has been awhile since I watched ATWT.LOL

    I still think OLTL would be the perfect fit for Daniel Cosgrove. Where are all the other casting rumors regarding the other GL actors???

  14. A Chris & Maddie pairing on ATWT would be genius!
    Dan Cosgrove and Alexandra Chando would be amazing together!
