All My Children Casting Alert!
Scoop! TVGuide.com has learned that All My Children is casting about for a new character named Annie McDermott. In an audition script, Annie is described as a 28-year-old woman who's "beautiful, fun-loving and caught in the mess of her life." Specifically, she has run away from her dangerous husband with a young daughter, Emma, in tow.
The script features a confrontational scene between Annie and Ryan Lavery (Cameron Mathison). Annie and Emma are staying in Pine Valley with Ryan, who is quizzing an evasive Annie about her past.
An AMC rep had no comment for this story. However, I sure have one! This part is practically screaming for Erin Hershey Presley, who played spunky heroine Alison Barrington on Port Charles from 2000-2003. She's gorgeous, she's the perfect age (29), she's a consummate soap pro and she needs work! Plus, I just screen tested Erin and Cam in my imagination and they look perfect together as a couple. You can picture it, too, can't ya.
Back in 2003, Erin was one of the finalists vying to fill Lisa Ling's vacant cohost seat on The View. Unfortunately, she lost that post to the vacant Elisabeth Hasselbeck. (Don't even get me started on her.) More recently, Erin was rumored to be in the running to replace Alicia Leigh Willis as General Hospital's Courtney before GH decided to kill off, rather than recast, the character.
By my count, that's two great ABC gigs Erin Hershey Presley has missed out on since PC was cancelled. If the network's smart, they'll take this opportunity to bring the blonde bombshell back into the fold.
