GL: Casting News

Coming: Fiona Hutchison returns as Jenna Bradshaw on Monday, Feb. 9th.

Going: John Driscoll (pictured) is leaving his role of Coop Bradshaw. Hmmm ... I am thinking that his departure has something to do with (dead) mother Jenna's brief return.

This is not the first time that Jenna has made an "otherwordly" visit to Coop. On Mothers' Day 2006, she appeared to Coop to offer him advice on Lizzie. Coop's exit is tied into Grant Aleksander's return as Phillip Spaulding, so I am interested to see how they will be handling this one.
