AMC

June is a big month for AMC in terms of comings and goings.  On June 29th, Marcus Patrick will be joining the cast as Jamal Cudahy (Tom and Livia's adopted son).  The role of Jamal has been played in the past by James Wiggins and then by Jamal Williams.  It is reported that Jamal will be a law student who is involved with Erin Lavery and Aidan Devane.

As I mentioned some time back, Colby Chandler is being recast and SORAS'd into Ambyr Childers.  Childers is a newcomer to daytime, previously seen in a few feature films like "Dickie Roberts:  Child Star" and "Carolina."  Colby is being SORAS'd to about age 15-16.  It is not expected that Marcy Walker, who plays Colby's mother, Liza, will be accompanying her daughter back to Pine Valley.  New Colby will begin airing July 3rd.

AMC is also supposedly recasting the role of Petey Cortlandt, as well as Travis Montgomery's son, Matthew.  There is no further news on those recastings.

John James, formerly of "Dynasty" and "The Colbys," as well as As The World Turns, will begin airing on June 13 as the recast Jeff Martin.

Dr Greg Madden, having finally pissed off the wrong people, will meet with a dramatic demise in June.

Coming Up:

Kendall does wake up and finally gets to see Spike.  She and Zach grow even closer as she learns all he was willing to do to keep Spike alive.  She also has the opportunity to see JR. 

Speaking of JR, he works to make inroads with both Babe and Dixie. 

When Lily returns, Jack fears losing her again enough that he agrees that she and Jonathan may remained married and live in Greenlee's old apartment.

Greg packs Erica away with his other secrets and leaves town while Tad, Dixie, JR, Jamie and Di try to stop him.  Del sabotages Greg's plane and later, Greg is knocked unconscious by an unknown person and is found to be missing.

Tad promises Dixie that they will find their daughter together.

Josh pretends not to care that his father is missing.

Erica wakes up on a park bench and Greg wakes up in considerably less comforting circumstances... he finds he is buried alive.

As he discovers that he has a food, water and air supply, a digitally altered voice tells Greg that if he wants to be freed, he must disclose the location of Kate.

Kendall is a startling presence at JR's hearing.
