FANTASTIC news!!!!!

I would be suprised if this hurt ratings at all. There are many Jan haters who loved Heather Lindell, she just acted the stories JER wrote for her and she gave it her all.

I still cannot wait to see this!!!!!! I wonder if she looks any different now....and if her acting has changed in any ways....

OMG!!!!! OMG!!!! OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I....I....I don't even know what to say. YES! YES!!! YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I just had a tiny orgasm.

Double stories have been happening for years. If ATWT is copying AMC, then AMC is copying AW for ripping off Vicky/Marley in the 80s!

Unfortunately, she's only on for 3 episodes (per the new DAYS spoiler thread).

Thank Gawd!!!

This is great news in a way. Heather's back in the soap bizz. It's just sad to see that she joins a soap that is so bad right now (although all of them seem pretty bad, ATWT is the worst).

I hate that Lindell's character is gonna be involved in Kate/Brad stuff. I'd love to see her interact with Henry and Vienna, or even Jack. Just not those two.

Awwwwwww.

Hopefully ATWT will see her talent and hire her PERMANANATLY!

I do worry though, because the fact she did not audition for this makes me worry a little. She's back in the soap business but only for three days...I wonder if she will try auditioning for other soaps perhaps....

I don't get why Brad and Katie need a foil. They're not even a couple. We had this same news when Robin Mattson was hired as Cheri and that went nowhere so I'm not even going to pay attention to this until I see the story. Katie has always had never ending stories with crazy women - Dahlia, Pilar, etc.

the AMC role was in affect a few months before ATWT...many think some creative borrowing of ideas occured

because no other soap in history has ever done a dual-role before precious All My Children ...

Believe me when I say this is the worst news for ATWT! First, it was Austin Peck casted. Now, we get Lindell! Two bad castings. She was horrible on Days. Her storyline with Shawn in the cage was laughable and stupid! She is a horrible actress just like Peck! Slowly As The World Turns is becoming As The Days of Our Lives Turns....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I am not happy about this! And who is she working with Peck of all people!!!!!

Heather Lindell is a helluva lot better actor than Austin Peck. ATWT is lucky to get her IMHO. Heather is pretty and a good actress. She was pretty good on DAYS, not Emmy-worthy, but definitely nowhere near horrible! Ron, you may have her confused with the original Jan Spears, Heather Lauren Olson, who was definitely horrible.

Happy for Heather in her new job, but sad for her that it's only 3 episodes. I hope she audtions for ONE LIFE's Sarah (formerly Flash) Roberts. She'd be good as Cord & Tina's daughter-----Tina's fiery & sometimes bitchy personality and Cord's dark wavy hair. She'd be great.

Awwwwwww.

Hey! It happened with Jennifer Landon, who plays Gwen and now Cleo. She was only on for a day and a few weeks later, TPTB announced they were so impressed with her that they hired her on a contract basis.

But as of late, she barely misses a day on the screen, therefore making even her biggest fans just a wee bit tired of her being on AALLLLL the time!!.....

They are very lucky to have her!

Hopefully her stint at ATWT will inspire Sheffer and Corday to want her back!

Ooooh, no! I love Lindell, but Jan is one of the last people I ever want back on DAYS.
