The Prodigal Son Returns
Soap Opera Digest broke the news that Petey Cortlandt will be back in Pine Valley starting July 11. Newcomer Daniel Kennedy takes over the role of the youngest Cortlandt heir from Broadway star
Mitchel David Federan who last appeared in the role in 2003.
Longtime viewers will remember that little
Colby Chandler (then Kathryn Newton) has a crush on Petey (now Pete). How great would a star cross romance be between Peter and Colby based on the historic feud between their families. Remember,
Adam Chandler, Colby's father, and
Palmer Cortlandt's, Pete's father, feud began way in the backwoods of Pigeon Hallow, after Palmer abandoned Adam's pregnant sister, Lottie Chandler, eventually driving her to suicide.
Or maybe
All My Children can have its own homosexual teen story ala
As the World Turns' Luke and Noah. Petey could confide his true feelings in a heartbroken Colby. All the while, worry about if his parents could truly love him for who he is. Palmer and
Opal may have supported Kevin Sheffield and offer him a place to stay when he came out of the closet, but was it all for show?
Wow, that was a mouthful. Stay tuned for a new Quick Guide biography later this week for Peter.
In other casting news, Melvin Van Peebles will take on his real life role as father to Mario Van Peebles (Samuel Woods) in a cameo this July.
UPDATE:
TVGuida.ca is reporting Kennedy is recurring with the show.
When you look up "star-crossed lovers" in any dictionary in Pine Valley, you'll see a picture of Petey Cortlandt (the incredible, offer him a contract please Daniel Kennedy) and Colby Chandler (Brianne Moncrief).
Two new characters appear in our Quick Guide. Cassandra Foster's origin on ABC The City is explained in her biography, dating back to 1997. Youngest Cooney Peter Cortlandt finally gets his own biography as well now that Daniel Kennedy is slated to appear in the role later this summer.
