AMC: Casting

[dragonflies]

I don't know what the link his for his site, sorry

There's a showfax script that basically sets up these scenes with this character. Her name is Annie, and I guess she's running from her abusive husband or something, and Ryan somehow rescues her when she gets hurt or something like that.

Rebecca Budig is Greenlee.... I am not a fan of recasts to begin with but this would just be such a mistake..... the show does not need Greenlee...... pair Ryan off with someone else on the show because who wants to see a Rylee redux, new actress or not.....

[Casey]

You know...I don't think this is a Greenlee recast, I think its a spanking new character.

Just what AMC needs, because every time I think of AMC nowadays...I say to myself, "Boy they need new characters, who wants to see all of the other characters who are languishing on the backburner...bring me a character that I know nothing about and don't care about...oh and make sure they're on 5 days a week too!"

Stupid.

[dragonflies]

I agree, the last thing the show needs is new characters

[Adam]

Yep. I agree. We have too many as it is that don't get any material.... what happend to Terri Ivens getting more airtime.... why is Julia even on the show. Oh well.....

The character's name is Annie McDermott.

tvguide.com thinks Erin Hershey Presley would be perfect for the role:

Hmm - well this could turn out to be good - as it takes Ryan away from Kendall and I guess eventually he'll be this Emma's stepdad....but it sounds a little Babe-ish.

I wish they'd focus more on characters we already have - the cast is getting way too big.

[dragonflies]

Looks like she's Kate's adoptive mother, and Emma is really Kate

[alwaysAMC]

Ohhh - well now that's interesting. At least she has ties - and not just random out of the blue. This sounds better now.

huh where does it say that? ryan is going to be every much involved in kendall's life and i don't think this new character is for him.

[dragonflies]

If she's not for him, then why are they sharing scenes together They could have had Aidan, Tad, anyone else be the one to help her in the park, but nope it was Ryan

[mel06]

LOL hi zendallfan! didn't we have this convo?

[Adam]

I guess it makes sense if she is Kate's adoptive mother.... but like couldn't she just be short term. This show does not need another leading lady.... they have too many they don't write for as it is.

[mel06]

ICAM..Simone & Julia for instance..

[Adam]

Well exactly LOL. They made such a huge deal when they got Sydney to come back now all we ever see her doing is hospital stuff. I actually like Julia and Ryan so I'd be all for them hooking up.
