DAYS casting secretive doctor with tragic past

Days of our Lives is bringing a new contract character to the canvas, and from the details released, it seems he'll definitely be bringing a new flavor to Salem.

NBC's Days of our Lives is on the hunt for a 45- to 55-year-old "strong, established" actor to play a new contract character.

Named Dr. Caleb Cooper, the future Salemite is described as a "good looking loner. He lives on a self-sustaining farm in middle America, completely off the grid," writes Soap Opera Digest. "He finds peace and joy in nature. He keeps his past as a doctor a secret, hiding the truth about a traumatic tragedy from his past."

At this time, there's no word on what brings Dr. Cooper to the canvas, but the show is looking for someone to start taping in August. That means the character won't pop up in Salem until sometime in early 2017.

What do you think brings Dr. Caleb Cooper to Salem? Who would you love to be cast in the good-looking loner role? We want to hear from you -- so drop your comments in the Comments section below, tweet about it on Twitter, share it on Facebook, or chat about it on our Message Boards.
