Another Return?
Soap Opera Digest is reporting rumblings that Brian Gaskill (ex-
Bobby Warner, r.) is heading back to All My Children. Gaskill was the first "adult" Bobby, playing the legacy character from 1995-97. Gaskill is currently recurring as Dylan Lewis on Guiding Light.
A lot of storyline potential was wasted when Bobby (then Christian Campbell) returned to Pine Valley in 2004. Other than an unholy alliance with a jealous
Kendall Hart, and the breakup of his marriage with high school sweetheart
Anita Santos, Bobby spent months off the canvas (to facilitate Campbell's other commitments).
All the while fans were clamoring for a reunion with his estranged son
Sam Grey, or more family drama at Corltandt Manor and Wildwind. Bobby was not the little boy so many long time fans watched grow up onscreen. He was a familiar name tagged on to a new face. Even longtime adopted/step-grandmother
Opal Cortlandt did not even recognize
Erica Kane's new boytoy, Roberto (Megan McTavish at her worst).
Bobby still has some links to the current canvas worth exploring. He left Pine Valley after extorting money from his late brother-in-law
Edmund Grey. He witnessed former employer
Zach Slater in some clandestine meeting. Frankly,
Palmer always needs more family in town and there is no one better than his spoiled rotten grandson.
In a way, the prodigal son returns.
Brian Gaskill grew up getting a daily fix of life in Pine Valley with his mother, and continued checking in long after he left the role of Bobby. Though he turned down an offer to reprise his role in 2003, rumors have it Gaskill wants back in.
