Sounds like Vienna 2.0....boring!!

It sure does...is Ewa Da Cruz gone for good?

Supposedly she is on a brief break. I think it was David K. idea to ice her...lol. I could take or leave Vienna. I am just so sick of Simon's boring returns. Now he brings his latest bimbo to town.

Ewa seems to have outside projects-I know she does Romance Novel Covers, so if she's gone, she sure won't be hurting for work.

But yeah it does seem like Vienna 2.0

Take it as you will, but I hear she will portray an ex-con/ex-gf of Simon's, wanting him to pull one more heist for old time's sake.

I talked about it in an earlier thread, but I can't find it.

Here's a pic:

Paulina's her long lost sister Luxembourg.

Paulina is older than Ewa and is not a professional actress, although she's been in some movies and such (Her Alibi). She also has a busy career. I don't think she will be a Vienna replacement; if she is it won't be for long.

Hmmm ... Well I like Simon, so cool I guess. I bet this character will only have a few lines over a few episodes though. We might even think she was a dayplayer if it wasn't for the press announcement. Like the big Markus whatzhisname supermodel casting back when Goutman first became EP.

LOL...what...there wasn't some HUGE "name" ex-ABC actress with a killer bod for CBS to hire?

Jfung, I'm pretty sure she'll be featured pretty regularly (not recurring, or cast--but she'll be on often...up until she's written out and/or Leyden exits).

P.J., who are you referring to? I'm drawing a blank.

natalia livingston, lol.

No one in particular, just the annoying trend CBS has of "snapping up" ex-ABC stars for stunts.

This chick was a judge on America's Next Top Model, right? And on her exit she hinted towards some sort of animosity between her and Tyra Banks?

IF CBS were smart about this, they could promote this on The CW as she's a familiar face to their viewers. It could open up a new audience for ATWT without losing their existing one.

This is good news, I really loved Paulina on ANTM. She's a smart woman and hopefully a good actress. I would love it if they made her a long lost sister of Vienna. How great would that be! But I kinda am sensing Vienna will remain gone. I hope that's not the case though.
