Additional Comments:
Was trying to think of an actor who could take over the role of Zach, and, though the character is different from the role of Jake he played on AW and ATWT, Tom Eplin stands out as one who might be able to step in and maintain Zach's strong presence.
Any thoughts?
Any suggestions of another former daytime actor who also might be capable of taking on the role?

nah...TK created the role so to speak and I just cannot see anyone replacing him in the role. TK is Zach. That's it. For me, anyway.

Message: I don't want anyone else to be Zach. TK will always be the one and only Zach for me. He was an interesting, multi-layered character played by a very good actor, and we shall not see his like again soon in Pine Valley.

Why would anyone have to replace Zach? Let Zach move to France like oh-so-many other characters, and he might just come back every once in a while. Just create a new character for Tom Eplin to play! Tom is multi-talented, capable of drama and comedy -- and he's easy on the eyes. Mmm-hmmm.

Mark Pinter is another NY based actor w/lots of soap experience. He has played lots of charismatic characters.
Eplin has been away from soaps for yrs. He moved back to CA after his stint on ATWT ended.
Robert Kelker-Kelly is another actor w/lots of soap experience, who has played charismatic characters in the past. He is also another actor who has been out of soaps for quite awhile.

Message: How about David Andrew MacDonald. He's a really good actor and I think that he could really pull it off as Zach. Also, with where they are taking Zach as a sort of mobster-lite casino owner, DAM can do bad boy with great charm and a good sense of humor. He was really good as Prince Edmund on GL.

Ick... oh lord, no... perish the thought for too many reasons.
Besides, Thorsten Kaye is an ultimate pro, and a respectful, reliable team player who is always more than condsiderate of his co-workers. TE is not.
