Per the new SOD, AMC is casting a role that very well could be Greenlee Smythe, last played by fan fave Rebecca Budig.

Also in the same article, it stated that GH may be re-casting the role of Brenda Barrett, made famous by now LAS VEGAS star Vanessa Marcil.

I can see both of these happening. I've posted before that I think Arianne Zuker (ex-Nicole Walker, DAYS) would be a good Greenlee, although she does NOT resemble Budig whatsoever.

For Brenda on GH, I really cannot think of anyone at the moment. Rebecca Budig comes to mind, but that maybe becasue of teh rumors from about a year ago that GH wanted Budig if they couldn't get Vanessa Marcil back.

No please keep Greenlee away! They turned her into the most unredeemable b1tch right before she left and consider me glad to have her far away from Pine Valley...I already have to deal with Ryan's sanctimonious pontificating I don't need to hear Greenlee's as well

um, no thank you

If Greens will not be the bitch she used to be, and come back as that Stepford wife, then keep her far away from my screen and PV as possible.

According to Michael Bruno Maitland Ward if on tape for a role on AMC! If this is the "Whitney" character that is rumored ot be Greenlee. Greens could be getting alot taller. Ms.Ward is 6 foot tall. While Rebecca is very tiny.

Lauren Woodland (ex-Brittany, Y&R)

and

Prudence Z from SoapStar are also on tape for AMC and have been for sometime now.

Lauren Woodland is one of the few people who could probably pull off a Greenlee recast. That said, I don't want it.

if they wanted to recast Greenlee they should cast the actress who plays Annie! Annie is supposed to look like Greenlee. None of those three actresses look like Annie!

ABC would do something stupid like recast Brenda.

Nope, they better not recast Brenda, one I don't want her back and two, VM is that role.

The folks at ABC just don't have a clue, do they? Why even go there, especially with Brenda, who is one of the few iconic characters to emerge from daytime in the past decade? Neither of these roles are so desperately needed on the canvas that they have to be re-cast.

IF and this is a big *IF* They did decide to recast Brenda, I'd love to see the role be handed to Amy Van Horne(ex-Carla, THE CITY). She doesn't have the "Vanessa Thing" but she could have acting chemistry with a doorknob.

No No No and No to recasting Brenda. I can't even articulate how absolutely pissed off I would be. To me, it is as upsetting as MS being Sheila Carter. NO ONE but Vanessa Marcil is Brenda Barrett.

But if ABC is stupid and recasts Brenda,I hope she steals Jax and Sonny from Carly

If by some chance Amy van Horne did come to GH as Brenda, then all we'd need was the guy that played Tony on The City, and we'd have the complete The City quadrangle together again (Ted King (Danny/Lorenzo, Laura Wright (Ally/Carly), Amy van Horne (Carla/Brenda) and that guy (Tony/someone)...

SOD got that Brenda rumor straight from the internet. Most likely they got it from Soapzone so it crap. Just like the other 12313214341231564123132123 rumors about Brenda being recast that we have gotten over the last few years.

They need to realize that everyone's obssession with Brenda has nothing to do with Brenda Barrett...it has to do with Vanessa Marcil. A recast Brenda will never work. Anyway, that's just my opinion.
