OLTL: A New Jack Manning Has Been Cast

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- "One Life to Live" finds its new Jack Manning only weeks after it ditched the previous one.

Just before Christmas, Carmen LoPorto, who has played the oldest son of Blair Cramer and reformed rapist Todd Manning since 2007, posted on his Facebook page that "I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and thank you for all your support over the past 3-1/2 years as Jack. I got a call this week that they SORAS'ed Jack and I am no longer a member of the Manning Family. It's been fun and an experience that I will never forget. Thank You All Again. Here's to bigger and better things to come in 2011. XO"

Now, less than a month later, it has been revealed that daytime newcomer Andrew Trischitta has taken over the recurring role. Trischitta began filming scenes yesterday, and his scenes are expected to begin airing sometime in February or March; it is speculated that December 22nd was LoPorto's final airdate in the role. Look for Jack to become slightly aged, considering that the older-looking Trischitta is fifteen, while LoPorto just turned fourteen yesterday.

Jack becomes the second of Todd Manning's children to be recently recast. Just last month "OLTL" replaced twins Jacob and Luke Clodfelter with Patrick Gibbons, Jr. in the role of Jack's younger brother Sam.

It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

Thanks Android! I'll miss LoPorto as Jack. I hope Trischitta does the role justice. He's a cute kid and everything, but LoPorto was so entertaining to watch.

Seriously if he's barely any older then Carmen was why recast at all? I thought he was wonderful in the role and played a mini Todd to perfection. I'm really upset to see him go for no apparent reason.

Thanks Android, like always :)

The new Jack actually looks his age, CPL looked like he was 10 or 11.

Yeah I was surprised to see Carmen was 14. I figures he was only like 11. So I guess looks wise that is why they wanted Jack older. Too bad they didn't at least try with Carmen because he was great as a mini Todd.
