Heather Stevens is back. And not only does she look different - she's now being played by Jennifer Landon, initially at least as a redhead - but she might appear a little more self-assured than when we saw her last. Given Heather's middle class background, "she's got some scrappiness about her," Jennifer said. The actress, who won three back-to-back EmmysŪ for the role of Gwen on As the World Turns, hopes to show Heather's vulnerability, but also a little more sassiness and savvy than we might have seen previously. Jennifer reports she felt "totally upside down" in the beginning, having seen and heard about two different versions of the character, but "I'm trying to make my way and find her," she said. Jennifer hypothesizes that the domestic abuse suffered by Heather's mother, April, probably informs Heather's relationships, while abandonment by her father almost certainly colored her choices in men as well. The character is a professional, Jennifer noted, "but due to her history she probably always wants to be with Dad in some way." And speaking of Dad, Jennifer had warm words for Doug Davidson (Paul), describing him as "just lovely, a very sensitive person." Link |

I hope Ricky finishes the character off. She's been "changed" at least three different times. And they need to drop this pity party crap about her past. I simply don't care. |

Red head Heather? Ok.. The writers have no clue WTF to do with this character, why bring her back? And Jennifer Landon instead of Vail Bloom? Big mistake. |

Let's see, a "big name" Emmy winner from some other soap that's going to give us a brand-new and improved take on the character. Sounds...familiar. ^o) |

It'a just like a Makenzie redo, every new actress who played her, made her over until we finally got rid of her. |

Vail Bloom didn't want to be on the show so when her contract was up, she left. No way will they find anyone to replace her. Just kill the character off and be done with it. |

I like Jennifer too but I don't think anyone will play the part and be accepted in the role like Vail Bloom. They did write Vail in a different way but the way Heather was written the last time just stunk and I doubt that MAB will change much of anything. MAB has no imagination and Heather will be as dull as dishwater. |
