FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Sean Kanan

It was a slow week for debuts on the soaps, but Haley Alexis Pullos did debut as Molly on GENERAL HOSPITAL on Thursday.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS's Sean Kanan (Deacon Sharpe)
NEWCOMB: Sean Kanan debuted as Deacon on Friday's episode of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Kanan has played the role before but only on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. I liked the way the show had Amber explain who he was to Jana and used a flashback of Deacon on B&B before showing the character at lunch with Victoria. Deacon had bought the Koons and was trying to sell it to Victoria. He told her he had other business to take care of while he was in town. Do people really just pass through Genoa City, Wisconsin with multiple business projects to address? Apprently so. Kanan did an excellent job of portraying layers of Deacon and leaving the audience guessing what he was really up to and what he may have in store for Amber. By the end of the show, Deacon had met Daniel who then "introduced" him to Amber. Amber told Jana she never wanted Daniel to know about her past with Deacon. I actually like the dynamic between the characters themselves and think Kanan will fit in well. My biggest issue with the art storyline is my mind starts to wander every time they start going on and on about Terroni and Koons or Sabrina and the art gallery.
