Vimal's getting a little sister named Neela

Vimal and Rama are, for all the bad writing, a very attractive couple. Why am I not surprised that this magazine would find a bad photo of them.

^LOL. I'm kind of excited about this news. The actress looks young enough to mix it up with the teens and more diversity is always welcome. Two things I'm bummed about: why couldn't they have just waited to debut her until the show moved online? And why couldn't she have been Rama's sister? She has more lasting potential over Vimal.

Im sure she continues online and Im happy OLTL continues to cast for Diversity

I think Vimal has more potential than Rama, who works with Vimal but isn't really the same when she is in scenes with Aubrey/Cutter/etc. But I haven't heard about PP signing either of them so I wonder if on PP this girl will be on her own.

Diversity is nice but the characters are useless.

There's no need.

So her real life last name is Patel? loll

Hehe, yeah... Patel is a very common Indian last name.

^Yeah I thought that was kind of weird, too. I was confused for a second when I was reading it.

Its like bringing on a latino with the last name Santos or Torres

Nope.

I like this - I like Rama and Vimal, I'm almost sick of a lot of the other characters so it's a nice mix. It's not like they get much airtime as it is so I'm sure she won't be hogging up the canvas.

It's always good when a minority actress is hired.

Too bad she'll get little story & eventually be let go.

Kinda looking forward to this.
