AMC Plans To Recast Bianca
With the news of Eden Riegel joining Y&R as Heather, the question remains: What will happen to Bianca? A recast, according to an ABC insider, who declares, "The show really wanted Eden back." The source adds that the actress indicated she was done playing the beloved role of Erica's daughter.

Eden Riegel Joins Y&R
The show confirms that Vail Bloom, who joined Y&R in 2007, is out as Heather and Eden Riegel (ex-Bianca, AMC) is taking over the role. This reunites Riegel with her former on-screen love interest and close pal, Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe; ex-Maggie, AMC), whom she also worked with on the online soap IMAGINARY BITCHES. Though Riegel didn't confirm the news, she did tweet: "I've got some really interesting, fun news coming your way! I know it's cruel to tease, but I'm too excited to keep it in."

Riegel previously confirmed to Digest that AMC sought to lure her back on contract as Bianca when it announced its move from New York to L.A., but they couldn't come to terms. "I don't know if the breaking point was money or outs," a source close to the actress told Digest at the time, "but I know that she was bummed and so was the show."

Riegel will first begin taping the week of March 15.

At this point, I can't see anyone else but Eden in the role of Bianca. To tell the truth, I don't think this is the end of Eden as Bianca. As talented an actress as she is, I don't see her staying with Y&R for the long haul. Just my opinion - we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

I agree. I very much welcome Eden to Y&R, but it's still such a bizarre recast to me. Unless they do a complete character reformation, I can't see it being too permanent of a gig for her.
