All My Children Recasts Bianca!

Christina Bennett Lind is the new BiancaBig, BIG casting news -- Bianca Montgomery is returning to All My Children. Christina Bennett Lind has been cast in the role of Erica Kane's youngest daughter. She'll first air on June 14th.

 

Christina takes over for Bianca's longtime portrayer, Eden Riegel (currently playing Heather on The Young and the Restless). "I can only hope I do half of what Eden did with the part," Christina -- a New Yorker making the move to AMC's L.A. home -- told TV Guide. "She played it with amazing grace and dignity. Now I need to breathe my own life into it."

 

"Christina oozes goodness, and we really needed that for Bianca," AMC executive producer Julie Carruthers added. "When Christina came in to read for the part, she was Bianca."

 

News of Erica's plane crash (yes, for real; he's pulling an Oceanic 815, minus the smoke monster. Or maybe not -- you'll see) causes Binks to return to the homestead. Reese, her wife -- formerly played by Tamara Braun -- won't be joining her ... yet. The show hopes Tamara will someday be able to reprise the role.

 

Are you excited to see Bianca return to the show? What do you hope is in store?

please, please please don't bring back the gay marriage thing...too controversial...made point with the gay marriage/parent thing...it is just too personal an issue and I would have to seriously consider watching the show at all anymore as it is hard enough right now with the exit of Adam, Zach, Kendall and the other strong actors...I think that would put the final kibash on AMC and I don't want to see them go! Need babies and new relationships and maybe a recast of a few characters...You can make it back AMC but not with a controversial issue for the majority of the country...just not the time...

First of all what happened to the last Emma. This new little girl is not "the one" !! Also, even if Eden can't come back to play Bianca, I know you guys could have done better than the new Bianca! Moving on, I think Annie and J.R make a good couple. Marissa is so boring and she's just not for J.R . If anyone should have been together, it should have been Marissa and Scott because Scott is'nt the one for Annie either!
I really wish that they would stop dragging out Annie and J.R and put them together already!!!! Also please get another Emma!

Ok, AMC...Listen up.
The show is losing it's structure. JR & Annie is getting old. He should have never married Marissa, she's too homey and should have been casted for Scott...
Scott should have never revealed to Annie about Palmer's invention.
It sickened me to watch Erica sleep with her daughter's ex husband...Yuk!
Please get rid of Liza!!! She is boring...
Tad's son needs to be recasted. He over acts...
Please don't change Bianca!!!
David Hayward should have went to prison many times, why are you guys keeping him around, bring another bad boy to town...
Find Opal a man with an edge and please let Frankie & Randy get pregnant again...
Whew!!! Oh one more thing. Is Zach coming back or is he going back to OLTL to come back from the dead to be with Marty?...

Changing Bianca won't be a problem as long as you change her from the gay issue! that is getting old and offensive.

I really think they should not recast bianca no one can play that part like eden riegel and i no for me i won't be watching and i'm sure tamara braun won't return for her role as reese williams.

I've watched this show for 30 years...this is bad news...more reason to lose interest in this show. No Dixie, Brooke, Zac, Adam or Stuart.

I'm hoping this is temporary, until Eden Riegel is finished on Y & R. It's hard to imagine another actress in the role...and very difficult to accept.

This show is a mess...another bad decision.

I've been a fan since 1975 - everyday - taped on betamax, lol. Stopped watching full time when Ryan lost his memory of Annie. Went back and forth for awhile and then just could'nt stomach it! Kept up on the overall plot via soap.net however still nothing interesting to bring me back as a full timer. Recasting Eden is the biggest mistake yet..... don't do it - it will truly put the kabash on the entire future of the show. The last two years have been a tremendous crash & burn let down to long time fans! New York or California thats not the problem - its the storylines. AMC you need serious help to stay alive!
