OLTL loses a Buddy

Llanview may be seeing an influx of new hunks with the recent debuts of Nicolas Robuck and Lenny Platt, but one young star is on his way out of the ABC soap.

Brandon Buddy announced via Twitter that he will not be re-signing with OLTL when his contract expires later this year. Buddy will depart his role as Cole Thornhart after almost 4 years. It's uncertain when Buddy's last airdate will be but he is expected to continue until his contract expires. There has been no comment from OLTL on the departure or if the show plans to recast.
