Y&R + DAYS To Recruit Actors From AMC & OLTL

Sony is planning to bring in a number of actors from AMC and OLTL to join its two daytime dramas, NBC's DAYS OF OUR LIVES and CBS' THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, according to a new report on Deadline.com. The names mentioned so far are Debbi Morgan and Jacob Young from ALL MY CHILDREN and Gina Tognoni and Josh Kelly from ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

Sony Pictures TV president Steve Mosko is behind the plan. When the AMC and OLTL's cancellations were made official earlier this month, he sprung into action, starting consultations with his top daytime executive Steve Kent and DAYS co-creator/exec producer Ken Corday and Y&R co-creator/exec producer Bill Bell about which actors from the departing ABC shows would strengthen the talent roster on the two soaps.
