Big casting news for All My Children. As originally reported by TV Guide, actor Michael Nouri will be the joining the cast as Caleb McGraw. Remember how headwriters David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski previewed that Erica Kane was going to get herself a new love interest, for triangle territory with Jackson? Well, Caleb's it.

Don't expect their first meeting to be a happy one, though. Erica's plane is going to crash right into his mountain home. Which, really, is a way to make an entrance.

Michael Nouri's list of credits, if put in book form, might come close to the length of War & Peace. However, he's been most recently seen opposite Oscar winner Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, and currently plays Glenn Close's estranged husband on Damages -- along with other recent credits like Brothers & Sisters (as Saul's ex!), NCIS, and Without a Trace. He also appeared on SOAPnet's own The OC. Of course, we best know him as Nick Hurley in Flashdance.

Look for Michael to start airing on May 24th!

What do you think of the idea of a Michael Nouri/Susan Lucci pairing?
