Other than the height, none of this description sounds like Chad to me. Men want to be him, really?
I agree! The only way this could be less like Chad is if it were a casting call for a woman. Unless they are totally remaking the character and just keeping the names and relationships, there is no way this is for Chad.
If James does in fact leave, I think Chad could be brought back as a more mature, business savvy character who will take EJ's place in the DiMera family. Someone will need to establish the DiMera presence in Salem and it won't be Joe because he's not on that much.

I'm just wondering why the 6' tall. That would be either to replace someone who's 6 feet, be a relative of someone tall, or be opposite a very tall actress. I don't think they have a very tall actress in that age range, do they? So that may point to it being a DiMera.
How tall is KDP? Maybe Eve has a boytoy in tow, lol.
5'10, I think.

That part of being a good man with a heart of gold doesn't sound like a DiMera though.

That's why I said a boy toy. I don't think Eve would have a problem with a younger man.

Sounds very much like a casting call they put out in 2011, right down to the code name:

Yeah but the age is different. I'm guessing they're just re-using the same code name for different casting calls of different characters.

Yeah, I was thinking it was someone to take EJ's place until I got to the part about him being a good man. And who could he be for?
The casting call's wording implies that the character outwardly has a masterful persona -- but the good man is hidden underneath. What if they did with EJ what they did with the original dark Jack?

Maybe JS negotiations are not going as well as planned and they want to see what alternatives they could have in "that range" (like Y&R did with Billy Miller).
That's what I'm thinking and hoping.
They could do a very slight de-SORAS of EJ -- and that would allow EJ to work with a greater range of male and female characters.

Could they possibly be bringing in a good DiMera?

Aside from the late Benjy, does that exist?

There only reason to bring Chad back only for ejabby storyline.there no point to bring if ej leave Chad was not really noticeable character.

Andrew for Abby! Theresa discovers EJabby's affair, she blackmails Abby, Andrew returns, Abby and Andrew fall in love, Theresa's plan falls apart. It would solidify Abby & Theresa's little rivalry.

They already brought in someone new for Abby.

It does sound like it could be Chad, except interesting. Or another insta-kid for Stefano. IDK why else the height would be important.

I wonder if they ever cast the other "Fletcher" because I can't think of a character who fits that description.

According to the article, it seemed like it was the short return of Nicholas Alamain when he came back to help out Carly.

That's what I thought of as soon as I read it.

Supposedly it was the short return of Nicholas Alamain when he came back to help out Carly. And the description has changed a little from the last one.
I don't think it was Nicholas, because the guy they hired was like 21.

We don't know if the other one was for Abby.......that was just speculation. The other actor who just got cast could be there to cause angst for Wilson.

Sounds like it could be a Chad recast.

If negotiations with JS don't work out I could see them bringing Chad back as a little more business savy than when he left. I would think they'd try to incorporate some of EJ's character in to him so he could kind of fill the void.

Alex Kiriakis or Andrew Donovan would be incredibly welcome.

Chad DiMera... No thank you. I'm enjoying my nice break from Chad!

Seems too young for Andrew, since they've established Theresa in her late 20's.

Those casting descriptions always make me want to poke my eyes out, lol.
