What if GR plays the man that Will had sex with in LA?

The thought crossed my mind but I'm not sure the show remembers this, the guy was only mentioned twice. It would be more interesting if he was a new character or if he met Will during the 2 years he was presumed dead.

the TVLine article says he is
"joining the NBC soap this spring for a multi-episode arc.".
and
"According to sources, Rikaart’s new Days gig will not prevent him from continuing to recur on Y&R."

So it's a "gig" that's a multi-episode arc.
That could be as little as 2 episodes or it could be a ton of episodes.

I guess things could be different on Days, and he's only short term so it wouldn't matter much, but he struggled to generate romantic chemistry, so I'm not eager to see him get paired with anyone. That said, he is a good actor and I'm looking forward to seeing him on the show.

GR is a good actor, but I agree with you about the chemistry. I think the only person he had chem with was EO'B who played Jana. :-/

Kevin and Jana did have chemistry, but I blame Jana for turning Kevin into the nothing character he became. It was that pairing that totally neutered Kevin.

I also thought GR had decent chemistry with Lindsey Fonseca and Adrienne Leon. Unfortunately, when both actresses played Colleen, she and Kevin still hated each other.

The sexual chemistry he had with Christian Leblanc was palpable! Awkward, considering they played brothers ... but still there, IMO. I just hope if he's playing a gay character on Days, he has chemistry with any of the 3 straight men playing gay, they clearly don't have it with each other. I see more chemistry between Chonny than Paulson and that's because of Billy more than Freddie.

He's going to be playing a therapist who helps Jennifer Deveraux overcome her homophobia.

BEAUTIFUL irony.

But Jennifer isn't homophobic.

Well that was unexpected.... and I'm also wondering why they gave TV Line the exclusive. Hmmm... wonder who he's playing.
Michael Ausiello really loves soaps and reports on them fairly regularly. I would imagine a website like TVLine would get more eyeballs than a soap site. Possibly even more than TV Guide because I know I don't go there anymore because I hate the interface. It's too cluttered (I've also followed Ausiello around).

My first thought too was what if he plays the guy Will hooked up with in LA. Sounds like he isn't in the show long. But I guess we will see

Peter Blake?!!!! Please! I am sure that was more to troll homophobe Missy than anything else. Greg is only 40 and looks 30. I am assuming that if they were to bring back Peter, anyone they would cast would be closer to 50. If they give Greg's character any past ties to Salem rather than create someone new, Andrew Donovan would be a good choice.
I've wondered if it's Scotty Banning. I have a wish of a recast that can carry the role of a male Horton for this show. Wishing ain't getting, so let me ignorantly wonder ;)

We need some guys who are Horton's who aren't Lucas or Will. I know they are technically Horton's, but since when do they acknowledge that? They feel more like half Reed's than half Horton's, so I feel there is still a void.

There is zero chance of that, but it's what I want....
Scotty Banning would be a good choice too, but how old is he supposed to be? I didn't start watching until the mid-90s, so I never saw him. Can you imagine the kind of awesome protective PFLAG grandma Julie would be? I don't remember her stance when Will came out, but he didn't get much resistance from the Hortons and was more worried about how the Catholic Brady family would react, which ended up being a non-issue. And it would be good to give Eli a half-brother.

I agree we need more male Hortons. Maybe they can invent more like they did with Nathan, as long as they're not related to Maggie.
OMG!!

OK. Bare with me...

Back when Will came out, there was a throw away line from Marlena. She & Will were walking in the park & she said, "Do you really think you're the only gay person in the family?" Will said, "well, I've never known anybody else whose gay."

I've always joked that I wanted to know who the other 'mo in the Horton/Brady clan was...

I would LOVE for it to be Scotty!!

There is no assumptions on anything. He will likely play a gay character because he wants to. Very simple.
