She was iconic on AMC and deserves any praise she received. I have never heard anyone saying she's a top notch amazing actress. She nailed the big storylines she was given. She's a pretty big get for AMC, IMO though. Even if its just for a drive-by. It opens up her return for future storylines and that must be in their plans because I think they could have gotten the most recent Bianca to sign on permanently. I guess they didn't want Bianca without Erica, but they're going to have Miranda. I'm really not sure what the vision is for AMC, but the most recent news they've dropped has all been good.

IDK. It's odd to me. I mean, we all know it's because Susan and Alicia aren't available right now but still ... strange.

No idea what my ID is.	I'm a huge Eden Riegel fan. Heck, I'm literally the one person on the entire planet that enjoyed her run as Heather on *Young and the Restless. So I was a bit surprised to read that this will just be a short little cameo. Then again, before Christina Bennett Lind was hired to play Bianca, that is pretty much all we were getting from Riegel. I don't think any of the Kane women will be a big pressence on All My Children 2.0*. And without Tad and Jake Martn [the Martins!], I'm not sure what the core of this show will be.

If it's not Riegel then Prospect Park is stupid for not putting Bianca on fulltime. She should be a fulltime character as should her partner, whom should be Marissa if not then maybe Reese.

As much as CBL probably would have jumped to do it, maybe they went with Reigel, who is possibly immediately available, and IS considered a name, as much as I prefer CBL's version.

She at least wanted to be there full-time.
