Casting Notes
Good morning, everyone! Happy 4th of July… hope your day is going to be a great one! Me? I’m going for a more low-key kind of day at home. I thought before I go veg out for the day, I’d share some more casting news that was announced during my absence.
It’s been very busy on th ecasting front lately. While many current and former stars are getting shows and guest appearances, new cast members are being added to the Lane. Kristin from E! announced that the kid re-casting is basically done. Rumors suggest the twins are being played by 20-year-olds. I can see it… makes it much easier to get the job done if you don’t have to worry about taking time out to send a couple of teenagers to class. I just hope whoever they cast actually looks like they could be teenagers. Gabrielle Carteris on 90210, anyone? ::shudders::
For all you Mike and Edie fans, there is some good news for you: both are returning. I know Nicolette was pretty much a lock, but James Denton himself was unsure if he was coming back or not. He’s going to be pretty active sharing custody of Maynard with Susan, while Edie will get a new love interest. That part will be played by Neal McDonough, who I remember from the series Boomtown. He has also had parts on Traveler, the Tin Man miniseries and I Know Who Killed Me. Let’s not judge him too harshly for the last one, huh? A guy’s gotta eat….
Finally, we have Gale Harold. He will be playing Ken, the new man in Susan’s life. If he looks familiar to you, you’ve probably seen the short-lived FOX series Vanished. As you can see, there’s going to be a lot of new faces on the Lane this year. I’m excited to see how it all turns out. What do you think? Post your thoughts in the comments and make your voice heard! Til next time…. take care!

I am a #1 DH fan. My thrill moment that I met Marcia twice. She’s so nice and down to earth.
I can’t wait to watch DH when it comes back in the fall. Am so anxious to see what become of the episodes.
Of course, am disappointed that Marcia hasn’t won the Emmy Awards yet. She deserves it.
#1 fan of Marcia Cross

Hi, Sue! Marica’s one of my favorites as well, ever since her days on Melrose Place. Would you mind e-mailing me to tell me your story about meeting marcia? I’d love to hear it.

Thanks for that yummy picture of Gale; it’s a personal favorite. The “Wyatt Earp” look from his time on Deadwood. Or Rory on The Unit. And a cleanshaven Gale is on USA Sunday on L&O: SVU- the episode’s called “Perfect.”
Loved Neal on Tin Man and Traveler. Also a big fan of Felicity, Dana, and Kyle. So, lots too look forward to. Yay!
