According to Daytimeroyaltyonline.com, Lindsay Hartley is out as Arianna. Read more here.
This discourages me. I was really hoping for a potential romance for EJanna. Are Rafe and Gaby secure in Salem without Lindsay Hartley? Is this yet another recast or are they eliminating the character? I cannot imagine a different Arianna.
When we spoke to Lindsay in LA, she seemed a bit sad/shocked when I told her how many people were glad she took over the role from Felicia Terrell. It makes me wonder if she knew then. She is a classy actress. Jabie and I arrived late, because our littlest had a stomach bug and my mom was debating taking her to the ER (which she later did). Lindsay was so sweet and seemed worried that we had nothing to get autographed.
I am not happy with how they have written her character. I also am not happy they are letting her go. I see a lot of potential for this actorand her character.
PS I loved the dynamic between Melanie and Arianna. We have few great best friends left. Chloe and Nicole are it.
