Poll Posted: August 21st, 2006 |
(Bianca Montgomery) will reprise her Emmy-winning role on All My Children next month. Though the actress has made three limited-run engagements on the ABC soap since her exit in February 2005. This return, however, is slated to last much longer.
But don't ask how long.
The details of Riegel's return are a closely guarded secret. The actress is unable to confirm exactly how long she'll be back in the fictional town of Pine Valley, however, Riegel assures fans that she will "definitely" be around longer than her three previous guest-starring stints.
The promise of great story and the opportunity to return to New York are what drew Riegel back to All My Children.
"AMC made me an offer that was impossible to refuse," Riegel explains. "[Head writer Megan McTavish] has some really exciting stories and there's really good stuff coming. I feel so lucky and blessed."
Riegel states that she does not know how the show will address her relationship with Maggie, previously played by Elizabeth Hendrickson. Off-screen, thanks to a loosely-constructed work schedule, Riegel will commute back and forth to her loved ones in Los Angeles.
"I am thrilled to have Eden return to All My Children' She continues to be a cherished member of this talented ensemble. Bianca's presence enriches the canvas, and we all look forward to having her back home," says executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers.
Riegel joined the cast of All My Children in July 2000. Her work on the show earned her four Daytime Emmy nominations in the Outstanding Younger Actress category. In 2005, Riegel took home the gold.
Riegel's first day on the set is scheduled for September 12th. Her on-screen return will come nearly one month later on October 11th.
