Dante's Cove Cast Switch

OK, so it's not as big a deal as replacing Darrin on "Bewitched," Becky on "Roseanne," both Fallon and Steven on "Dynasty" or even Miss Ellie for a season on "Dallas." But Here! TV's supernatural sudser "Dante's Cove" will have a new actor in the role of Adam, the "straight" high school friend of Charlie David's character.

Here! CEO Paul Colichman says the actor who originated the role, Steven Arnell (right), wasn't comfortable with the gay turn his character takes in season two which required man-to-man love scenes. And if you've seen "Dante," you know those scenes are steamy. Amell had appeared as a spin instructor on three episodes of "Queer as Folk" and was a regular on the now-canceled ABC Family series "Beautiful People."

His departure gives Jon Fleming (left), a juicy role in the hot soap. Fleming appeared in four episodes of "Will & Grace" a few years back but most of his other screen roles have been pretty generic: man in speedo on "Mad TV," mystery man in an episode of "Days of Our Lives," pool boy on "Passions" and jogger on "Desperate Housewives."
