The return of a core family member

From TV Guide Canada - Soaps

Soaps In Depth is hinting that Emmy nominee Michael Park will be joining One Life as Dan Wolek. Conversely, Soap Opera Digest sources refute the rumour but Suds hears that a deal is definitely in the works. In fact, it could already be signed, sealed and delivered.

After almost twenty years in exile, and his virtually never being mentioned by anyone—not even by Viki, his aunt—they are toying with the idea of bringing Dan back? That is...odd. He was never really a strongly defined character previously, so I suppose they would have wiggle room to do whatever they like with his character breakdown. Still strange.

I know the name but nothing about him. Wonder if there's anything to the rumours. Doesn't make much sense, unless they're just hoping they can get him back and don't have anything confirmed.

If they're going to bring back former characters, I'd rather see Kevin come back. He and Todd can battle it out in light-hearted comedy.

Agreed TSJ4Ever. Todd and Kevin were like the male version of Viki and Dorian. Todd has never meshed with any adversary as much as he has with Kevin! When they go toe to toe, it's juicy and exciting. They try to play it with John, but it's totally unfair because John is the shows golden boy, so Todd can never really stand up to or win against him because of they have for John.

He had a big storyline when he was involved with Brenda and he and his father Larry were both in love with Brenda.

I have a hard time believing anything involving the Woleks would ever be seen in Llanview again.

Same here. They didn't even bother to mention Larry on the fortieth anniversary, so while I personally would like to see the return of the Woleks, I'm not too much buying that they would actually bring any of them back today. I think this ATWT actor mentioned in the OP is most likely auditioning for the role of the Ford and James' father.

^^^^IF they decide for him to return, they'd likely ignore any Wolek connections and act like he is a Lord only.

You're probably right. He'd be Viki's nephew, who just happens to be Larry's son.
