After a failed romance with child pornographer Jim Thomasen, a friends-but-not-lovers buddyfest with Jackson Montgomery, a fizzled affair with Dimitri Marick, and a disastrous relationship with not one but three Pierce Rileys, Brooke English (played by Julia Barr) will soon find the heavens smiling down upon her.

A casting call has been put out for the contract role of Eliot Freeman. It's said that Eliot, a man in his forties, will turn out to be a minister --- a unique change of pace from some of the other men who've been in her life. Eliot is slated to be a love interest for Brooke, but it is possible that that could change.

According to insiders with the network, many familiar faces have tried out for the part. Rumored to have audition for the casting department is Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass from Another World/As the World Turns), Paul Satterfield (ex-Paul, General Hospital and ex-Pierce, The Bold and The Beautiful) and Michael Swan (ex-Adam, B&B, ex-Bishop John Carpenter, One Life to Live and ex-Duncan from ATWT). So far no word on who has the early edge.
