    SPOILER! Tanner Novlan (Finn) and Delon de Metz (Zende) discuss their screentests

    Delon de Metz says: The auditions were done over Zoom with casting director Chisty Dooley and Kiare Barnes (Zoe). It was very interesting. This is the first time I had used Zoom with casting, or with an actress for chemistry read. That was an unique experience for me" He also says he's known Tanner Novlan for years so he was happy to learn about Tanner's casting.

    Tanner Novlan, explains that the character will be a breath of fresh air for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who will soon find herself in a romantic pairing with the hot new doc.

    "Dr. Finn is an outsider, and I think that's great for Steffy," the actor enthuses. "I think 'Team Steffy' is going to be excited for her to have a new man with a new set of values, and a new version of what passion and love can bring. I think she's ready for a new man."

    He continues, "Dr. Finn is clinical and professional at the start, but how can you not fall for someone like Steffy?"


    Tanner further says that he has B&B fans in his family. Their family dog was actually called Thorne. For the casting, he says they started the process in March, before they stopped production, but he had to keep his new gig under wraps during the pandemic. He wasn't allowed to speak about it because they didn't know how long the shutdown was going to last. But he is very excited to see what's coming for his character.

    So, Zende will probably be paired with Zoe since the actor tested with KB via Zoom. Tanner's screentested in person with JMW. Looks like he was set to start filming in March. Love that he talks about Team Steffy. He researched the character.

    Zende is for Zoe big shock. We knew since he was black he was going to be paired with the lone black girl, on the show. Well good for Kiara Barnes. She was with Xander, Thomas, Carter wants her and now Zende. That's FOUR men in two years!

      And since apparently Zoe is now working for HFTF, and the big plan for HFTF is now to make it "diverse," my guess is that Zende will be Hope's new designer.

    I’m so happy he actually got to screen test with JMW. That gives credence to their chemistry being good. JMW would have chemistry with anyone though. I also read some other part of his interview where he said Finn has a different set of values and is somewhat of an outsider. I wonder what that means? It also seems like he tries to stay as professional as possible but falls for her in the course of working with. I want to see how they approach that because doctor patient romances can be very tricky in crossing ethical boundaries. I kind of figured they were bringing Zende back for Zoe but will it be a love triangle with Carter? Seemed like they were going there with them.

      Thanks. I edited in the other parts of what he said into the OP.

      Considering what a lot of the characters on the show have for value sets, it might not be the worst thing in the world for Finn to have a different set of values. Also, if he's an ER doc, it's unlikely he'll be treating her for that long. Most of the time, ER patients go back to working with their regular physician or specialists, if necessary. Once she's not officially his patient anymore, it's not really an ethical issue, is it?

      No I don’t think it should be an issue once he’s stopped treating her. So the question should be how long does it take for Steffy to wake up from her coma and how quickly will she be getting discharged which should end the doctor patient relationship.

    Here's the SOC article about it:

        I loved that too. I also liked when he said that he remembers hearing the B&B theme song when he was growing up.
