All My Children AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[Vee]

Why did I think Eden had just given birth recently?

As for availability, depends on what the shooting schedule is and how it works this time. Soaps have worked around a hundred pregnancies or more. I think they can handle ER sooner or later. Even if it's more phone calls.

[~bl~]

Considering both Paula Garces and Eden Riegel are based on the west coast, I'm not sure if they will even be able to get to Connecticut on a plane if they resume that late into their respective pregnancies.

[marceline]

Yeah, they would have to take a camera crew to her. From what I remember when my nieces were born, most doctors start restricting travel right around 36 weeks. Obviously I bow to the experience of the parents on this board.

Regardless, if this is true, it's good news. Especially if we can get Tad, Erica, Kendall and Griff back for some appearances. Although if Kendall comes back it's going to suck not having Lea there too.

PP could recast Lea. When is Eden Due? Maybe they could block tape all her scenes

[alexisfan07]

I'll just pretend SOD misinterpreted and that's when the second season will start airing

[John]

If you go to the @@AllMyChildren & @OneLifeToLive @Hulu pages, they have seperated the show and the more show and renumbered them, Plus given the episodes titles

I say just bring back CBL as Bianca, her Binks was beteer imo

[Vee]

No.

At the end of the day, CBL may have been BasicBianca but at least she would be a reliable cast member who they could write strong stories for. I honestly think if CBL had been Bianca for one, two more years before the show got cancelled they would have jumped at the chance of bringing her onto the PP one. I get that Reigel was at the centre of Bianca's coming out story and to many is the definitive Binks, but she is not irreplacable. If AMC could recast other equally important characters in the past like Kendall and JR then they sure as hell can recast Bianca.

[John]

There is no need to recast Binks. ER is doing S2 they will shoot around her pregnancy. Maybe even block tape her scenes in a week or 2

[marceline]

CBL was a wonderful Bianca but the role is ER's now. It's tough enough to buy Bianca as Miranda's mom even with Eden in the role. Casting Cristina would send us into Dixie/JR/AJ territory and frankly I think those three use up every ounce of disbelief suspension the audience can muster. Also, using Eden give the show tons of flashback material to use that we would lose with CBL in the part. Unless everybody wants to look at flashbacks of Binks and Marissa arguing with a blurred out Jacob Young.

[allmc2008]

I think CBL's binks was more mature. I actually think CBL looked older and was surprised when I found out she was younger.

[Wizzerkat]

I liked CBL in the role, but at this point, they need to stick with Eden IMO. They obviously did not mind that Eden wasn't going to be full time or else they would have just gotten CBL at first, as she lives on the East coast and would have worked full time.

[SFK]

Same.[/Khan] That said, I don't really care who plays Bianca. I've never had trouble accepting any of her portrayers.

[ellabelle]

If they're going to do an eventual reveal story in which Miranda finds out about her mother's rape, then I want ER as Bianca.
