It was strange to see Nathan Fillion back on One Life to Live playing Joey for the two episodes about Asa's funeral. He just no longer seemed to fit the part to me. He was good as the happy space ship captain on Serenity. But he was exceptional as the evil preacher on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After those two parts, especially the Buffy one, he just wasn't Joey anymore. He was just too mature looking and acting for Joey.

I don't remember him playing Joey before. I guess since they have had so many different Joey's that is probably why I don't remember this one. I always like the Kevin actor, then this other one came on and I thought "oh no they are going to do like they have Joey and keep changing" but they didn't. I grew to like this Kevin. But the Joey thing, I hated that they kept switching actors. It got confussing.

Yes it does get confusing, but actors move on sometimes. Nathan was the last one to play Joey for the last stretch the character was on. He played him when Joey had the affair with Dorian, I'm pretty sure.

I thought it was really classy that he came back on the show. He's had quite a bit of success now, and I appreciated him remembering where he started.

Yes it was. Although I haven't heard too much about him lately.

He's going to be on one of the new fall shows. I just can't remember the name of it.
