'Idol' Favorite Constantine Maroulis Joins CBS Soap - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"American Idol" dreamboat Constantine Maroulis will make his daytime television debut in May, joining the cast of "The Bold and the Beautiful."

Maroulis' addition to the CBS soap has long been rumored, but it's now been announced that his stint will begin on Tuesday, May 15.

CBS only goes so far as to say that Maroulis will appear on "The Bold and the Beautiful" for several months and that during that time, he'll be able to perform several of the songs from his upcoming solo debut.

Maroulis will play a music producer named Constantine Parros (probably for many of the same reasons Tony Danza generally plays characters named "Tony"). The character becomes involved in the life and career of heiress Phoebe Forrester (Mackenzie Mauzy).

The 31-year-old Maroulis finished sixth on the fourth season of "American Idol" (behind luminaries like Scott Savol and Anthony Federov). The conservatory-trained vocalist was attached to an ABC comedy loosely based on his life, though no pilot was ever shot. Instead, Maroulis appeared on Broadway in "The Wedding Singer" and Off-Broadway in "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris."

Maroulis' transition from "Idol" to aspiring soap star is far from unprecedented. You may recall (though you probably don't) that Matthew Metzger went from Season Three semi-finalist (and Paula Abdul favorite) to "One Life to Live" featured player.

God. Of course, they can't give storylines and airtime to people who've been on the show through good times and bad times over the last 20 years.

No. Of course not.

They have to give it all to Constantine Maroulis. Who means absolutely nothing to the world of daytime drama.

Go to hell, Brad Bell.
