AMC is recasting Bianca.

I don't know if we'll be seeing Bianca anytime soon. I wonder if this is just down to them wanting to say yeah we know Eden is at Y&R now, too bad, life goes on.

ABC is reacting to the news that ER is going to Y&R. I don't believe for a second that AMC was ever serious about having Bianca back full time. They won't write anything decent for her anyway so there is no point to this recast.

Bwahahahahaha!

Let the speculation begin. Who will be the new Bianca? Shanelle Workman? Vanessa Marcil? Sara Bibel? Erin Hershey Presley in a wig?

Why not Vail? A tit for tat

[Cat]

Luscious, sexy Vail? That might be Fronsie's choice. After Erin, of course.

[Cheap21]

I was thinking that and think it would be hilarious if they went that route.

Dont be surpised though if the next Bianca is this chick. If they actually do recast, I think theres a strong possiblity Natalia takes over especially since AMC is now in LA. Im calling it right now. Expect to hear the role of Bianca Montgomery is now being played by Natalia Livingston in the near future.

If she is cast then viewers of AMC will be seeing a lot more lesbian sex.

[LeClerc]

I don't think this is anything other than ABC reacting in the heat of the moment.

However, were they to recast, I'd vote for Adrienne Leon.

[MoTheGreat]

I think she's to young for the part.

[detroitpiston]

I wouldn't mind Erin Torpey in the role.

[Cat]

Adrienne Leon is an awesome idea, actually. AL can work the bitchy Kane vibe, no problem. She would also make an edgier Bianca which would be a relief after the holier-than-thou Saint Binks we've been having.

It won't just be a Fronsie mandate. There might be a number of actresses out there who wouldn't mind having to rub their paws all over Vail. Maybe Tamara will come back after all!

[YRBB]

That was my first thought!

[Adam]

Wow, I never would have thought about this, but HELL YES! Not only can she act, she could pass as Erica's daughter AND AMC can stick it to Y&R at the same time.

[SFK]

I wonder if this go round they might cast more similarly to Alicia's Kendall by going with a girl who looks more like Susan. Wouldn't it be something if they totally tarted up the part with some hot sexy young thang? What an uproar. That whole Amanda Setton leaving OLTL for primetime ventures was a snowjob, she's the new Bianca.

I know ER is very popular, but I am not one to get behind that "such and such is irreplaceable" business. The problem is not a dearth of talented young actors, the problem is in casting directors and powers that be who consistently cast for all the wrong reasons and fail their audience by putting crap MWM (Models Who Memorize) in key roles.

Thinking that a popular, known actor is needed to make this recast a success in poor thinking. It's not about that for soap fans. They could find some theatre-trained virtually unknown who could wow us if just given the chance. Cherry picking from the CW is not going to win anyone over.
