IMO, Randi is a blank slate. She's nothing but potential. She could be anything but not with Vasi in the role. I've decided to believe DV's tweet was meant to be a response to Hartley's.

DV tweeted that she hasn't been in contact with PP.

I can see DV do quite well for herself post AMC, away from AMC.

Id leave Erica, Jack, Opal, Tad , David,Jesse, Angie & Dixie with the current actors and if they cant get them, write out the role

I think she's beautiful and perfect as Frankie's recurring wife who makes lovely Ruth Martin-like appearances, but the fact is, a character like Frankie deserves more than that. He and his wife should be mixing it up on at least a Cara/Griffin level. DV hasn't really proven herself to be able to carry the heavy material though, but even when you have a stronger player like SK, that's no guarantee of s/l visibility, so...

ITA. THe only characters who can't or shouldn't really be recast are the long term vets. I love Cornelius and I think he's a great talent that AMC wasted but they can certainly recast Frankie

I'll be the first to admit she has no acting talent but since when has that ever stopped anyone from being succesful in Hollywood? She's gorgeous beyond belief, the right age, knows people like Russell Simmons. I think people like Denise Vasi or Natalie Colby has a bigger chance of having a successful post soap career than a Melissa Claire Egan or other talented actresses that has left soaps. It's not fair but that's how it is.

I will not be surprised if DV does extremely well outside of daytime TV. What she lacks in talent she makes up for in her looks.

So it's been 2 weeks since we heard the CM and LH had signed with PP. I think it's about time we heard about another round of actors that have signed on. I truly am happy for OLTL and I have been watching that regularly since July but AMC is my show and thankfully LH tweeted some positive news today about her meeting yesterday. I am keeping my fingers crossed we hear something today.

Thats true. She is absolutely stunning.And talent has very little to do with success in Hollywood. Its who you know, how you look, and charisma.

She hasn't done it, yet... And she's not getting any younger (she's in her 30's), so her "looks" will only get her so far... which, up till now, has been a recurring role on a now-canceled daytime drama.

Modeling may be her best bet. Spokeswoman, "Television Personality" even... but not "acting." There are no roles for her in front of the camera unless she plays a love interest in a music video... or a modern-day Jamie Foxx comes along and casts her in a leading lady role on a throwaway primetime show -- much the way he did with Garcelle Beauvais. Up until then, all she did on television was non speaking PRETTY GIRL parts. By the time she got Jamie Foxx Show, she was 30.

She's still in her 20s.

April 2006 NY Daily News article...

Russell Simmons is too old for slender siren ­Denise Vasi, some of her concerned family members are saying.

At 23, the nubile Nefertiti, who recently did a photo spread for Vibe Vixen, has been on the planet less than half as many years as the rap mogul, who is 48.

Denise's family is well aware that Simmons has a phat enough wallet to have built an empire for ­Simmons' recently estranged wife, ­Kimora Lee Simmons, ­another ­model he picked out from the ­catwalk when she was just 16 years old.

(Simmons' label, Def Jam Records, made $100 million in 1999, and his Phat Farm ­clothing line earned $140 ­million in 2004.)

"The economics sound great," our inside source tells us. "But she's 23, and he's nearly 50. He's taking her to these parties and who knows what goes on there. We think this is the wrong direction for her to go in.

"It's like when you win a ­trophy and you show it around. He's showing her off."

Simmons has taken the Greek-Dominican beauty, whom he describes as "very sweet," to Capitale and G-Spa in the Hotel Ganse­voort. He has also said he enjoys ­doing yoga with her - something he said Kimora­ wouldn't rise at 6 a.m. to do with him.

With his Hip-Hop Action Summit, his activism with New York City schools, and his ­project to videotape 1,000 prominent African-Americans, among other work, ­Simmons is known as a nice, low-key guy who did not ­forget his community after his success. But all that makes him even bigger.

"We don't know if she's able to handle his fame, if she has the skills" our source ­confides. "She's smart, but it's a pretty big scene."

A rep said Simmons would have no comment.

I think recasting any core characters should be a major last resort, and I do mean LAST. You want people to watch, not drive them away cause they see no familiar faces on their computer screen

OLTL is sticking to its formula so I'm actually hoping AMC will make some changes. Those familiar faces weren't cutting it before. Maybe a few new faces could be good.
