BIG CASTING NEWS

GARBER JOINS SALEM LIVES!!!

After a extensive casting search, the role of Cal's aka faux Roman's (Josh Taylor) psychiatrist has finally been cast with popular actress Terri Garber winning the role. It is reported Garber beat out the likes of Famke Janssen, Leigh Taylor Young, Anna Stuart, Philiece Sampler, and Sally Field. "It was a very tough casting decision but we feel we made the right choice as to who we want to play the role," says HW/EP Tim Lowery. "Ms. Garber is an actress of tremendous talent and it is joy to have her bring our writing to life. The fans opinions weighed heavily along with ours and Terri is who we came up with so I think we will be very successful with her in the role." Garber has appeared in numerous TV series and films including North and South, ATWT, and Dynasty. Garber will debut in mid November. Sources say that her character, DR. Katherine C. Harcourt, is very career-driven and focused and has never found love in her lifetime. She tends to keep her feelings bottled up and underneath the surface and, among those feelings, are feelings of regret and loneliness. It seems more will be going on between Cal and Dr. Harcourt then the usual doctor/patient relationship.

In other news, look for some of the actresses that lost out on this role to be considered for another new role that is coming up early next year. Sources say one of the actresses listed above already has the inside track and is a heavy favorite for the role but there has been no official comment on the role or the actress at the moment.
