[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 333672, member: 27"] That might be the case, but I always had the impression that Robert Newman was an "unplanned expenditure". Richard Burgi, good as he was, likely did not have a very high salary demand when he was hired. Once the show was forced to do an emergency recast, they hired someone who would (and should) ask for a higher salary, not only because he was well-known and talented, but because they needed someone really fast and didn't likely have time to bargain-shop. So they "ate" the extra expense of having a bigger name in the role, and now that he's no longer there, they aren't spending that extra money to have him. In fact, they may have cut his time short because they couldn't justify his higher rate (he had a longer contract, but the show exercised their option and let him go early). If they needed to recast Adam, TSJ would be formidable in that role, but I can't think of any existing, off-canvas character that he could play. He will likely play some new character...maybe another love interest for Victoria? Online GH fans have been claiming for nearly a year that TSJ was going to join GH (with little evidence to back it up). Now perhaps they will finally stop trying to convince everyone that it's happening. [/QUOTE]
