While I don't have a problem with ER or her acting, I'm not so sure how I feel about this recast. I don't see them doing this recast for nothing and since Heather is a DA I assume we will see her in court scenes which for me just doesn't fit. Also I'm not sure that I'm gonna be able to picture her as the same character that was involved with Adam. It just doesn"t seem like the right part for her, but I guess time will tell.

Another one bites the dust...I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed. So much wasted potential.

Isn't he the blogger who reported that he died and then said it was a joke? But the spoiler does sound plausible. Michael Muhney keeps saying to tune into ATWT for a special Y&R promo and they keep saying something huge happens on Tuesday, but won't say what it is.

I'm not familiar with all the Y&R bloggers. Is Mr. Brooks of Genoa City News a reliable source? Here's what he had to say regarding the recast. I'm putting it in spoiler tags since it involves upcoming storyline and its a pretty big spoiler. Some peeps will read casting spoilers but don't want to know about future storylines.

Mr. Brooks Genoa City News

It's official Vail Bloom is out and the old Bianca is in at Y&R as Paul Williams daughter, Heather Stevens. The talented and charming Eden Riegel is best known to daytime fans for her Emmy-winning run as Bianca on ALL MY CHILDREN, where she played Erica Cane's beautiful lesbian daughter.

The former Bianca will head up the prosecution of Adam's murder case. She goes after the number one suspect Ashley Abbott! Let's hope she has better luck than Vail Bloom at catching criminals in Genoa City.

It looks like she may also be involved with Chance in uncovering the corrupt police officers who killed Riggs.

HAAAAAAAAAATE!

This is another example of how far Y&R has fallen.

In the glory days they did not cast 'big names' from lesser rated shows.if there was a recast they tried (not always successfully)to find another unknown who would be right for the character.

That soap hopping only occurred on other shows.

Peter Bergman was a big name,but Terry Lester had left and Cliff was stagnating at AMC.

Heather, having been cheated on by Adam, will also question her sexuality and decide to try to steal Chloe from Billy. Daytime's first bisexual love triangle.

Heather and Chloe will jump on the bed, fix each other's collars and tell each other they have lipstick on their cheeks, from making out so much. And Rauch will set up two twin beds next to each other for Chleather. Rafe will decide to sperminate Heather so she and Chloe can have a baby. All in a matter of three months.

This is what Maria meant by exploring more "gay" issues.

God'll get you for that!!!!

We go from sexy Vail Bloom to not-sexy Eden Riegel? I don't like it.

I'm not sure if any soap has women who are presented in as unsexy a manner as Y&R's women. Even Sharon's bedhopping was about her being sick in the head. There's a pervasive fear of a woman and her sexuality throughout every part of this show now.

that spoiler sounds right its all but confirmed adam dies MM is trying out for other roles already

Bingo.

I hate soap hopping. Eden Reigel is entitled to the job if offered, but isn't she now the third ex-AMC girl currently on staff?

Yes.

And that's all the soap press has focused on. Not what she will do for Y&R. But that BAM are back together.

Ugh.

Are these people [!@#$%^&*] serious!!!! This will FLOP.

I woke up this morning, hoping that yesterday's post about luscious Heather having been recast with Eden Reigel was all a horrible, squeaky-voiced dream -- or at the very least, that Reigel was going to take over another role (like Mac). It's not. And she's still confirmed as nuHeather. Ridic.

Y&R is officially a laughingstock. I always assumed that Frons/Guza/Phelps owned that title for eternity, but they now look like frickin Gloria Monty in comparison. WTH kind of clusterf*ck is going on at Y&R?

That SL especially unnerved me. Personally, I thought that Sharon's no-strings, just-fun sex with Billy (yes, the gurning hyena himself) was probably the sanest thing she had done in years -- especially when compared with the rebound marriage with Jack and that awful, awful affair with Nick. And yet it was presented as one in a long list of debasements for the character.

After Phyllis goes nuts and trashes Sharon's hotel room (with particular emphasis on her underwear drawer -- sexy underwear = BAD), she is later pacified by some "angry" shower sex with Nick. This, I found equally insulting.
