They searched the whole galaxy to find Eden's replacement...and came up with one of Marie Osmond's dolls, hair and all.

catsmeouch will be happy (since this new one resembles the previous actress).

Awful character, but ABC obviously couldn't resist this move...

So the kids won't be tagging along? Doesn't sound very permanent.

I don't see TB returning either....

WOW. I didn't think Bianca was coming back so fast. I didn't even know there was an intensive casting search. I thought maybe she would show up by year's end at the earliest. I'm glad the show is moving forward with the character.

OTOH, Reese and the kids could get killed in a freak accident in Paris, leaving the grief-stricken Binks free to return to P.V. permanently.

I honestly didn't think they were gonna recast at all. I thought it was talk and their way of saying FU to Eden for going to Y&R cause they didn't announce recasting till AFTER Eden was announcing as going to Y&R

I thought so, too. In fact, I think they decided to recast to spite Eden. So now, a whole lot is riding on the new girl to succeed, and TPTB will do everything in their power to see that it happens, too. (Be afraid, people.)

It doesn't matter who plays the character if they refuse to write for her. Whatever, good luck to her.

She reminds me of someone besides Eden. I can't think of who. She looks a little like Marissa/Iola Boylin.

“We do want to continue playing the Reese-Bianca relationship because it was so unique,” says Carruthers.

Yes, a relationship must be unique if you accuse fans of making key parts of it up in their head.

I think it’ll be a very easy transition for the audience.”

I can't think of a better way to get fans not to accept a recast.

Anyway, Bianca is an important character, if the show knows how to write for her (and does not turn her straight or "confused", or victimize her, and if Reese stays away). I hope this recast is a success.

Oh most definitely they recast to spite Eden, no doubt about that whatsoever

I think Tamara told them where to not so politely to go, cause I don't see her returning as Reese.

I hope she can act, cause she's getting thrown into some heavy stuff. I think it's interesting that Erica's fate is still not known by mid-June. I was wondering if this would be a short story or not.

That's an expensive spiteful move.

But that's also Brian Frons and ABCD for you. ;-)

Same here. Even when I saw the title of this thread I thought it must be a joke or pure rumor or something. Kreizman and Swajeski even said they didn't want Bianca until after Susan's summer vacation and after Minshew was back.

Long, careful search? Turning the world upside down to find the right actress? Ummm it's been what, 2 months?

Not buying Carruthers' suggestions that TB could come back. I think she is too loyal to Eden.

Holy [!@#$%^&*] Oh, this is grimey. You know how lame the soaps are, they would have just as easily explained away Bianca and Kendall's "shocked" and "devastated" reactions with a phone call. This is spit in Eden's eye.

Carl, I was thinking the same thing, she reminds me of someone, I want to say a Spanish actress... or a young Celine Dion.

And no kids with her? She can't possibly be staying long. If so, that's bad storytelling, not at all true to the character.
