What about Jessica Dunphy (ex-Alison, ATWT) as Serena? She would be great I think.

Dunphy would be great as Serena. Stephanie Gatschet could be good too......and with Passions going off the air, you could throw Emily Harper into the mix. Allison Hirschlag (ex-Lizzie, GL/Julie Barr's daughter) might be worth looking at as well. And, though she's more strawberry blonde than blonde, I always liked Kim Onasch as Jennifer on ATWT.

My question with Serena is, how old are these actresses? I was leaning towards Dunphey, but I think she may be too old. Plus, Peyton List plays Emily, who is a medical student. I have already stated that Serena is graduating high school. I could overlook it, but I think with Dunphey in the role it might be too much. She was one of my top choices. I am still contemplating it.

Kim Onasch, now I ALWAYS loved her. Interesting idea and one I never thought of.

According to IMDB, Onasch was born February 10, 1982. So she's a bit older than 18 but could possibly pass. I don't know though....with the age you're going for...

Crystal Hunt (ex-Lizzie, GL) might be good as well. She's born Feb 5, 1985 so she's closer to the right age.

Also, Alison Hirschlag, whom I mentioned, was born July 8, 1984, so she's not too far away in age either.

Lastly, if you're only making her 18, how about considering btinging Carly Schroeder back? She's born October 18, 1990, so she's 16 now and will be 17 by year-end. Wouldn't be that much of a stretch for her to play 18.

I think bringing on Carly Schroder is a great idea. I intend on bringing her back to my blog. She's all grown up now......

If you're looking to recast Brook Lynn, why not go for Daneel Harris (ex-Shannon, OLTL; One Tree Hill). She would be slightly older and would be a good choice. I don't think she's a bad actress and would fit the rebellious character better.

As for Lucas, Van Hansis would be my pick

Sophia Bush has been cast as Brook Lyn.

Van Hansis will be Lucas

Justin Hartley will be Tucker

I have an idea for Serena, still mulling it over and she is very familiar with soaps. I am thinking Brittany Snow. She just turned 20. Her hair could have darkened like Dominique's.

Ooooh, I like the Britney Snow idea. With all the GL gals I mentioned, you'd think I would've thought of her!
