It completely infuriates me how everyone is saying "She'll do great", "I love Noelle", "She'll be fine".

It's almost as if Martha Byrne quit for nothing. What she stood up for is completely null and void.

I am so beyond fuking pissed right now.

Complete & total WORD to this!!!!!!!!!!

After seeing that photo of her on set as Lily in the new TV Guide, I'm starting to regret what I said about her(about her looking to sex kitten). She really did look like Lily IMO.

Any chance you can scan the pic detoritpiston??

She looks like Julie Wendall to me. Ugh...I have a feeling this is going to be a big bust. Thanks for the scan.

I think this is going to cause a fierce backlash.... think "Can Her" terms... (anyone want to re-start that campaign with me?)

YUCK.

I'm sooo there!!

Gah, that scan (not the actual scan, but the picture) makes me shudder. It looks like Ms. Beck has on a wig. Kinda freaky looking too...the way her head is positioned, it looks almost like she's a robotic Stepford Wife.

And it's been said, but I think that it goes without saying.....this is going to be a HUGE bust.

Martha Byrne IS "Lily", people! No if's, and's, or but's about it!!!!!!!

i cant wait to see anew take on lily. when does NB start airing?

SOW: The buzz at ATWT is that the-powers-that-be are going to try to lessen the impact of Martha Byrne's exit by swapping romantic partners when Noelle Beck starts playing Lily on May 8. NuLily will be paired with Jack, while Carly and Holden grow closer. "Holden and Jack would never do that to each other," sniffs one actor close to the storyline. Talk about a carjacking!

That does look like a wig. She looks older than she actually is.

And with that happy piece of news, I'm headed for the fallout shelter. Someone call me when the nuclear bombs have gone off and it's safe to come out and watch this show again.

It stinks of JP and Goutman. Now they are giving Lily a storyline with Martha gone. Geez...how great is that? Hacks!!

She looks like she's playing dress up in that picture. I don't think she's physically anywhere close to being Lily. Who knows how the acting will be, but she's a bust on a physical level. I think Tricia Cast would've made a good recast although there shouldn't be a recast! They could bring back Sierra or Bianca if they want Lucinda to have a daughter around. Ellie Snyder is out there for a Snyder woman. Aaron's oft-mentioned mother Julie. It's so disrespectful not to give any kinda break for such a daytime legend.

Ugh, this is so stupid! So are they trying to isolate CarJack fans once again? I am really starting to think Goutman and Pissante are trying to get ATWT cancelled
