As we first told you yesterday, daytime newcomer Nicholas Robuck has joined the cast in the contract role. He will first air June 9th.

And, from the look of his picture, it’s going to be a long, hot summer in Llanview (click here for a larger view).

The Best Little Whorehouse in Llanview? The recent audition script for the dayplayer role of ‘Fawn’ (a hooker) comes into play the week of June 14th, when David tries to cheer up his little brother Matthew, who’s having some girl trouble, by taking him out on the town with the pole dancer and one of her friends.

And “One Life to Live” has released a new casting call for the role of a “Private Investigator.” The scene opens with “Kate” asking the PI if he is looking for her. He tells her that her grandfather hired him to locate her. Kate replies that she had thought her grandpa understood that she just wanted to be left alone. The PI replies that he knows her grandfather, and realizes how considered he was when she stole a car from a dealership and drove off with some boy. Kate states that ditched the boy already. The PI asks if it was before or after she ran the car off the road, and says that he found it abandoned just down the road. Kate confesses that she was involved in an accident but that she’s ok. Relived he tells her that he can take her back to her grandfather then. However, Kate insists on going to her motel room first, much to his reluctance. Kate assures him that it won’t take long, and that, even though he has been working for the family for a long time, she thinks it time they get to know each other a little better. The PI replies that if her grandfather found out, he could kill him. As the scene ends, Kate tells him that he won’t find out unless he hires a PI to track his every more like her grandfather did with her. Remember that the soap frequently changes names in this scripts in an attempt to throw off viewers.
