Yeah, I read about that on another board last week but so far I haven't been able to confirm it at all.

It is weird, though, that we haven't seen Aussileen since March 3rd (I know she's not on Monday the 24th show either). So, I think the perhaps maybe TIIC are actually re-casting the role and re-tooling the character.

Also, Adrianne Leon has been very quiet lately. She'll usually post a blog on her MySpace but she hasn't done that in a couple of months. I do know that she has been ill; she and Lesli Kay (Felicia, B&B) are very good friends from when they were both on General Hospital and LK posted on her site that Adrianne has been ill but is getting better. Apparently whatever it is Adrianne is ill with she's had since she was on Y&R because LK said that if she had stayed on Y&R she might have never dealt with her health issue. I suspect that Adrianne is dealing with severe allergies. I know that she was on steriods to combat them while she was on Y&R, thus the weight gain. Maybe she ended up having to go off of them and try other methods of dealing with them. Anyway, I sure hope she's not dealing with anything really serious.

I'm hoping that Adrianne has been lying low because she is coming back to Y&R but just can't make the announcement right now so she's opted to remain quiet so as not to accidentally spill the beans before the show announces her return. I know that Tammin Sursok announced that she had gotten the role of Colleen on her MySpace 2 weeks before Adrianne had even been fired; idiot. Adrianne isn't that classless or self-absorbed.

One thing is for sure: Tammin has bombed miserably as Colleen. Why this role was recast I'll never be able to figure out. Adrianne was doing a great job in the part and there was no need for a recast. Adrianne was on screen quite often up until her firing last June; now Colleen is nothing more than a potted plant, inserted unnecessarily in scenes simply to prop Lily Winters.

Hopefully, TIIC have seen the error of LML's ways and are correcting this casting debacle as we speak.

That's right heidi!! You kinda answered your own question there. "Why was adrienne recast??" And the answer, ladies and gentlemen is LML!!! That woman either fired, or forced so many of our favorite actors to vacate the canvas on y and r, I am still in shock!! Adrienne was just another casualty of LML'S ridiculous work ethic. But that, is simply JMO. But from what i've read on other sites, my take on this isn't in a class all by itself. So many others TOTALLY agree that LML was the WORST thing that ever happened to this once incredible show. Hopefully though, now that she's gone? Our show will get back to what it once was. THE BOMB!!!!
