To be fair to Hotness, Im surprised Toups hasn't gotten to you yet. Not for the image but the size. He's usually on me with the quickness if Im 1 pixel over the limit...lol

By all means I didn't want to sound prude, I was just trying to make a point -- if it's only me being bothered please, Chit, do keep the signature banner It certainly is not offensive (even though it's not what you think you'd find on one of these threads either), so please I don't want to be a party downer for anyone Joe Manganiello is such a beauty, I won't deprive the rest of the people here of him hehe

Now edgeofnik, yeah, when I'm at work I don't spend 60 minutes an hour obsessively on my work, there are times I give my brain a break surfing this soap board. I read this improves your productivity. But I'm sure you already know this, if you ever worked a day in your life.

LOL Hotness - did you not notice the "JK" at the end of my statement? Of course, everyone takes brain breaks at the office.

I thought it was your signature LOL All is well in the world now, sorry for being bitchy <3

let me guess... B&B are recasting her to be on-contract, so that she can seduce Katie/Katie can go lesbian for a month or so? Gosh, this show is so dumb. I can see why the OG actress turned them down.

JJ didn't turn the show down. She has other commitments which prevent her from being utilized on a more regular basis. The show would love to have her around and she's appeared as her schedule permits but they want to use her in story which would mean she'd have to be on the set more frequently and she cant commit to that. Its as simple as that.

yeah, that's the PR version. LOL

There is no PR spin to it. Joanna Johnson was Executive Producer for a show on the CW when she first returned as Karen. She's now the EP of The Fosters on ABC Family which was picked up for another batch of episodes. Being an EP isn't a part-time job. I see no reason she wouldn't have wanted to appear more if she could. We know which one would pay better...

Except this has always been an issue since she returned last year which is why Karen has been absent in key moments in Caroline's life, such as when she fell over a balcony for example. The show wanted to use JJ more but she hasn't been able to appear bc of....

Exactly!

mmhmm... when this joke of a 'gay Katie' SL kicks off we will know why Joanna Johnson chose not to return.

You are delusional. Regardless of the story she wouldn't be available to film a frontburner story. If she couldn't return for one day when her daughter almost died (a perfectly normal story), then what makes you think she could film a frontburner storyline?

Shameful this recast call didn't take place sooner. The girl falls over a balcony, and her mother is nowhere to be found? If they can get the camera out of Brooke's crotch for more than 2 seconds, TIIC might be able to fully focus on other stories and characters!

Kassie DePaiva would be a great Karen because she can also play the Faith Roberts aspect of the role, not only Caroline II. She is also great at playing a mother and might make Caroline more sympathetic.

She was the first actress that I thought of, but I was afraid to mention a PP name at that time. Now that Brad Bell is going there, she would be a very welcome addition to the cast.

I could see it.

Kassie would be a GREAT choice. She's also very sensual and could be fun opposite Crystal Chappell.
