Daniel Cosgrove returns to daytime television this month, nearly six months after he made his final appearance on Guiding Light. The actor, who became a hot commodity upon the cancellation of Guiding Light, joins the cast of As the World Turns as Chris Hughes.
Earlier this year, Cosgrove's name had been brought up as a possible candidate for the role of Joey Buchanan on ABC's One Life to Live. Though several soap web sites reported that Cosgrove's migration to Llanview was a done deal, for one reason or another, Cosgrove never signed his name on the dotted line.
Since that time, Cosgrove signed on to appear in the online soap, Venice: The Series, opposite former Guiding Light co-stars Crystal Chappell (ex-Olivia Spencer; Carly Manning, Days of our Lives) and Jessica Leccia (ex-Natalia Rivera). Cosgrove later backed out of the online series, citing his work schedule as the reason for his unavailability.
Cosgrove firsts air on March 11.
