Y&R is actively looking for an actress to fill the contract role of a character in her mid-20s, who is described as "quick witted and high spirited" with "a lot of heart". The casting call further explained that "while she is self assured, she is unaware of the dynamite affect she has on men." The role begins taping next month. Insiders speculate this could be a recast for Heather, which was formerly played by Eden Riegel and Vail Bloom.

Did Paul's son ever arrive in Geona City??

I'm sure Judy Blye Wilson will go through her roster of AMCers first. Does anyone fit the bill?

Should have just kept Vail Bloom.

Exactly

mid 20's???? How can this be Heather?

This doesn't sound like Heather to me. Lots of heart and not knowing about her effect on Men?

We'll probably get Jamie Luner as Heather 3.0 *shudder*

Hopefully they are smart enough to stay away

For some reason I don't think this is Heather(I could be wrong). I always thought that they were happy with Eden in the role.

I think they were, but guess they aren't anymore....

Please. We all knew they realized how ridiculous Eden was in the role, they just could no longer keep such a failure when they needed to clear money up for Melody and Debbi's salaries. I would accept defeat and beg Vail Bloom to return.

Chloe?

Did Paul's son ever arrive in Geona City??

Yes, he did. He's an intern on Sharon's defense team.

I'm at a loss as to why viewers think Vail Bloom is so awesome in the role when Heather was always such a dead and insignificant character in the best of times.

This comment makes me think that this was one of the roles Alicia was offered but turned down. I could totally see Y&R and Days offering her something.

Vail Bloom got better with time and had a lot of chemistry with Chris Engen. She also had some zest on a show full of shockingly asexual women in that age range.

I see no point in recasting Heather. The character is, as with all characters under this regime, totally worthless.
