(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Expect to be seeing more of Todd Manning's oldest son Jack in the coming months on "One Life to Live," as Andrew Trischitta has becme the soap's newest contract cast member, one month to the day after he first appeared on the show.
The news, which was posted earlier today on ABC Soaps in Depth's Twitter page, may come as somewhat as a surprise to some "One Life" fans, considering Trischitta has only appeared on screen in a handful of episodes since joining the show earlier this year (his first airdate was February 22). The actor replaced fan favorite Carmen LoPorto, who had played Jack since 2007.
Since Trishcitta was cast in the role, Jack has taken on a darker tone, proving that he really is his father's son, by bullying one of his classmates, Shane Morasco (Austin Williams), because he has asthma. Look for the storyline to heat up in the coming weeks as Jack drives Shane to take desperate action, which could result in tragic consequences for all those involved.

Wow! There is soooo much I can say abt you Wendy and your workshop...but I'll try and keep it brief! I learned so much from the audition process...to just bringing my own personality to the characters I play! It was also stressed to us that we only have one shot, and there is not time for the should of, could of, would of's!!! So we must nail it on the 1st try!!!! Most importantly I love your honesty...that means more to me than anything:) At times you can be hard on us...but I look at it as tough love! I know u want us to do our best...and I'm gonna make u proud:))))))))))

given by: Wendy McKenzie & Act Now!!! IN THE WINK OF AN EYE.
Hi Wendy!!
The workshop was amazing!! There are not many people in the industry who emphasis the ‘business’ side of Acting in their teaching. Right from the beginning, all of us took away valuable knowledge about how to market ourselves as Actors. The real time simulated “Sudden Death” auditions was challenging, imitating and very rewarding. Because it is exactly what is going on at an audition; not only we learned how important preparation is, we also see different approaches done by the actors.
Thank you for you telling TRUTH, and share your insights and resources with us!!
In the Wink of an Eye is Faaabbuullloouuusssss!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you again. Your workshop in Toronto was amazing and it really opened my eyes to some things that I knew where there.. but I have either ignored or forgotten about.
I feel like smacking myself in the forehead because some of your teachings were so simple but so important and so easily forgotten. Your class was exactly what I needed to get ahead.
I think it is amazing that I can use all the hurt and pain from my past.. to be a better actress. It really goes to show you that the universe works in mysterious ways.

I had a feeling that my first acting class was going to be interesting, but I never thought that it would be as intense as it was. I learned a lot about commanding space and tapping into emotion from before I even enter the audition space straight through til I leave the space.
Much thanks Ms. McKenzie, there isn't a soul alive that dreams of becoming an actor or furthering their acting skills that should sleep on a class with you.
In the Wink of An Eye, I went from knowing little, to learning what some don't learn for years.

Hi Wendy!
I hope that all is well on your end. Just wanted to keep you abreast on what's going on with me. Below is a link for a review of the show I am currently in at Passage Theatre Company in Trenton, NJ. This is my first review ever! I booked the gig about a week after your Lights Camera Action Workshops ended, and I applied everything that I learned over the course of those three weeks in the audition and throughout the rehearsal process. So I sincerely thank you, for all of your insight and expertise it has helped me a great deal.
Love & Light
