soapzone.com/newsroom.php/amc/news The casting department’s been charged with locating a minority (no Asians allowed) of superior physical beauty to take on 20-year-old Monica, a challenge for JR, as well as a transgendered character – maybe this is Monica too?AMC...you have out done yourselves. Really, I'm impressed. Everyone feels like JR has been getting short end of the stick with Babe and your response is to do this to him. Uh...ok.

Okay, this is odd on a number of levels. But what jumps out at me is the "no Asians allowed" bit. Uh, why?

the wording "as well as" actually seems to me like these are two separate characters, not the same one...? It seems like they are casting for two different people to me.

I think that the writer meant that daytime soaps don't do frontburner Asians and I think it would suck for the ONLY Asian character at AMC to be transgender. For them to be able to get away with that they would have to have an Asian FAMILY and what is the likelihood of that happening?

It's just a hunch, but i think Zarf is the serial killer, the transgendered character, and Bianca's love interest. All before he bites the dust for killing our favorite characters, of course.

Good hunch, Flail. Let's see, three characters, one paycheck! That may work. Maybe tiic can stop killing off the established actors to save money! ;D

zarf is transgender...well..considering he's a woman, trapped in a mans body but falls in love with bianca...does that make him/her a transgender lesbian?
