Zack Conroy cast on B&B!!

THIS JUST IN, breakout younger actor Zack Conroy (ex-James Spaulding, GL) has been cast on B&B as Oliver, the younger brother of Sarah Brown's Sandy/Agnes, and cousin to Rick Hearst's Whip! At least he has a job, but I still thought he would have killed as Y&R's recasted Kyle Abbott. Nelson Branco   would have liked to see him as a recasted Thomas, but ya know I like my Thomas Forrester played by Drew Tyler Bell.

In a below excerpt of an interview, Brad Bell stated that Steffy needed more interplay. Wonder what's going to happen to Marcus "Ma, your the queen of the Forresters" Walton, which still needs to be recast!! I hope nuHope will being force.





B&B Headwrtier Brad Bell dished to MSN.com that:

What makes you decide it's time to give Hope a case of "SORAS" (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome)?Brad Bell: Steffy was a bit of an island. She was our twentysomething and we needed to round that out, so we brought in Kim Matula as Hope and Zack Conroy as Oliver -- two great, interesting actors who are going to bring a whole new generation to the fore.

In other B&B news, Branco says in his latest Suds Report that B&B may have secured another Emmy for Ann Douglas (Betty White)'s death

• A little late to the party, but I just screened Betty White’s death scenes — and I have to agree Brad Bell may just take his second Emmy Award in 2010. I prefer Bell Junior take home best writing this time around instead of best show. And finally get a chance at delivering an acceptance speech! You know, just to shake things up a little bit. But you know the unpredictable Emmys! Good work, Brad. I’m proud of you. Like your sister-in-law, Maria Arena Bell, you are a master at short-term death arcs. Now, how about the long-term writing of your show?
