I think the temp actor is doing a good job.  He's caught on to several of JTs mannerisms, and his hair is almost as messy now.  What's to complain. It isn't as if we can expect anything to happen in this scrubs get pregnat story, until it's time to bring in the baby.  Give the guy a decent vacation, for Pete's sake.

i heard JT had a vacation planned in advance but they could only get finola(anna) on when JT was on vaca, since she is very busy with her own show on the style netowrk.  apparently though she will be back for more episodes.  i agree i missed JT a lot goes to show that patrick drake would be a total d*ck if not for JT saving him with his charm

He is a temp. replacement.  All I've heard is that there was a 'scheduling conflict' w/JT, so they temporarily recast the role.  That happens on soaps all the time.  TPTB aren't really saying much of anything specific though about why.  They did the same thing awhile back w/Jax.  Saying that IR had a 'sceduling conflict' & was temporarily replaced.

I'm not sure what 'scheduling conflict' means exactly, since as a contract player, their legal obligation is to GH, not to anyone else.

  • i heard it was for personal reason, which even in daytime t.v., can't be avoided.
