Doctor Griffin Munro is one of the most popular characters on ‘General Hospital’ right now. The dark-haired hunk joined the ‘GH’ cast, but he almost took another role that would have landed him on a completely different show. Matt Cohen confirmed his secret auditions with ‘B&B’ and ‘Y&R’ to Soap Opera Digest revealing, “I tested for Bold and Beautiful and Young and Restless about a year ago. They ended up not going forward with one of the roles, and the other role went to somebody who was already established in the soap world,” Cohen explained. “It obviously worked out how it was supposed to, because I feel like GH is the best place for me.”

Matt Cohen may be the new kid in the soap opera world, making his ‘GH’ debut in February, but he’s got a great resume. Cohen has past shows like ‘How to Get Away With Murder’ and ‘Supernatural’ to back up his ‘General Hospital’ role. Any show would be crazy not to snap him up. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ fans and ‘The Young and the Restless’ fans are totally missing out.
