AMC: Actress leaves!

[Pine Charles]

Oh, God!

MCE cannot be replaced! Nope! It's just like Kate Collins.

[dragonflies]

Wow did she really already tape her last scenes? Where did you read that AlwaysAMC?

[Mr. Vixen]

Except...Kate Collins was replaced....With Robin Mattson....Who was just as good.

[alexisfan07]

Makes sense now why she is minimally in the opening - easy to remove.

Did Jacob Young ever play Lucky to Herbst's Liz? I mean, c'mon, they gotta bring Herbst on as someone.

[alwaysAMC]

Agreed - she put her stamp on that role. Its such a unique role too that only MCE could pull off. Of course this is the 2009-2011 Annie... anyone could have played the 2006-2008 Annie, yet with writing and MCE's amazing improvement, she made the role her own!

I'm so sad.

I'm going to sulk in a bottle of wine.

If true, then I think whatever crazy thing Annie does in February that harms people (as spoilered in the Feb. sweeps previews) is going to send her packing back to Oakhaven!! JR will turn to Marissa and they will reunite! PUKE.

[Mr. Vixen]

Yes, they played together. I thought they had SMOKIN chemistry together. And during JY's tenure as Lucky, Liz got some of her bitchiest behavior out. She had some GREAT lines. I'd love to see them together.

[dragonflies]

Yep he was the first recast not long after JJ left

[Pine Charles]

We're left with...

Rylee

Bianca - neatured wallpaper

Kendall - Rylee worshiper

Erica - Ryan worshiper

Jesse "Miz Thang" Hubbard

Tad "Supreme Court Justice" Martin

Jake "I think it's 1958" Martin

Dr. Smug Face

Goodie!

I actually think she can be. I don't know if AMC wants to. Have Annie go to Oak Haven for 2 months then bring in a new actress like they did with Scott.

I guess it could be interesting. She brings a nice sized fanbase too.

I think Frons would allow her to be hired by AMC as long as she's not getting in the way of his couples. The question is would BH go to an ABC soap after what GH just did.

[MichaelGL]

This is really saddening news, but I wish MCE the best of luck.

What scares me is that knowing AMC, they're really going to give Annie an exit she really doesn't deserve IMO, potentially choosing to have Annie go out as "Crazy-psychotic" Annie, and not the thREEe dimensional character LB helped to make during her short stint as HW.

[Pine Charles]

When I said that, I meant Natalie (not Janet).

[Cheap21]

WTF! This is WAY TOO soon
