All My Children
Jeffrey Carlson and Eden Riegel will depart the roles of Zoe and Bianca later this spring (which means another exit for Haley Evans, who plays Miranda). Their last airdate is April 26.
Becky Ann Backer is still playing Zoe's mother, but she's had a name change -- instead of being named Marje, she's now being named Betty.
Kate Collins will be seen more regularly now that Janet is back for a heavy-duty storyline.
Brooks Ashmanskas will begin recurring as Leon, Erica's producer for New Beginnings.
As the World Turns
Jennifer Landon will soon be playing a dual role. Starting on April 6, she will begin appearing as Cleo Babbitt. Cleo just happens to look a lot like Gwen -- only with brown hair and a gap-toothed smile.
Jason Pendergraft will appear as a sleazy Las Vegas porn producer named Lance beginning on April 3.
Matt Cavenaugh last aired as creepy Adam in March. (Hopefully next time they recast the role, the character won't be so ... creepy.) Kudos to Matt on making the character someone that just screamed ick!
Jake Silbermann has joined the show in the role of Noah Mayer, and will debut on May 31. It's unknown if he's contract or recurring.
The show has issued a casting call for the role of Aidan, a young man who is coming back to Oakdale after caring for his ill mother. (Now come on, the role describes Aaron Snyder to a T, and the names are almost the same.)
The Bold and the Beautiful
Dax Griffin and William deVry will both be back in April. Dax will appear as Shane beginning on April 13 and leading through to April 20. William will appear as Storm on April 9 and 17.
Dean Cochran will begin appearing as a detective on the show in late April or early May. He began taping episodes on March 26, and he is currently slated for eight episodes.
Constantine Maroulis will join the show in mid-May. It looks as though he will be playing himself for a short-term stint.
Days of our Lives
Matthew Ashford will be seen as Jack Deveraux the week of April 2. But it won't be Ashley Benson's Abby in New York with him -- the role is temporarily being played by Emily Montague.
Ashley Benson is leaving the role of Abby Deveraux. The actress asked to be let out of her contract early. She will last air in May.
Guiding Light
The show is casting the roles of Paula and Mark, a working-class gal from Chicago and a Hispanic teen.
David Dollase will appear as Maurice Payton on April 6 and 9.
Danny Johnson will play Dr. Belford starting on April 3.
One Life to Live
Phil Carey is leaving the role of Asa Buchanan on OLTL. The show had wanted to downgrade him to recurring status with the same workload he currently had, but Carey declined the offer.
Randolph Mantooth has been cast as Tate's father. Presumably the role is recurring.
Mark La Mura begins the recurring role of Douglas Kline on April 3.
Tuc Watkins will be back again (briefly) as David starting May 25.
Passions
