Jordi Vilasuso returns to daytime; Adam Mayfield exits

Former Guiding Light hunk, and Daytime Emmy winner, Jordi Vilasuso is returning to the soap world.

Vilasuso is set to join the ranks of All My Children in the new role of Griffin Castillo. Vilasuso's first airdate is scheduled for November 15, meaning he'll pop up just in time for November sweeps. Vilasuso's gorgeousness helped raise the temperature in Springfield. Let's hope he does the same in Pine Valley.

While Vilasuso remains one of this blogger's favorite soap hunks of all-time, fans of Greg Vaughan may be disappointed to know he also tested for the role of Griffin.


As if by fate, AMC will add a hunk while booting another. Adam Mayfield, who has spent just over a year in the role of Scott Chandler, has been fired. Mayfield made his debut in April 2009 and received a Soaphunks.net Award nomination for Hunkiest Newcomer that year.

Don't expect his character to disappear, though. It's been reported that the role of Scott Chandler will be recast, in order to take him in a "new direction."


So long Adam...and hello Jordi!
