I am certain they are going to recast the role. Spencer is both a legacy character and next generation. To call the role coveted would be an understatement.
I would love to see Robert Adamson (Temp Michael) but at 38, he's too long in the tooth. But he's a good actor.
Rory Gibson (ex-Noah Y&R) they didn't give him a ton to do on Y&R but he can act and he's already familiar with what it takes to be on a daytime drama. And he's easy on the eyes. At 28, I think he could pull off early 20s.
