ABC finally confirms Beth Ehlers has joined AMC

Tweet

I read this on soapcentral. It will be interesting to see what type of character they write for her. http://www.soapcentral.com/amc/news/2008/0623-ehlers.php soapcentral.com first reported last month that Beth Ehlers had joined the cast of All My Children. ABC initially denied the reports, waiting until Emmy night to confirm that the Guiding Light star had come aboard. The network still has not revealed what character she will be playing when she makes her AMC debut. It may have been the worst-kept secret in all of television. But despite the fact that the proverbial cat had long been out of the bag, ABC pressed on with its Emmy night announcement that former Guiding Light star Beth Ehlers (ex-Harley Cooper) had joined the cast of All My Children."My man Ricky Paull Goldin, a new resident of Pine Valley," greeted Emmy co-host Cameron Mathison. "Why don't you tell everybody at home why the beautiful Beth Ehlers is sitting right next to you, at an All My Children table.""Beth Ehlers is coming over from Guiding Light," Goldin smiled. "I just don't think she can... you know... keep herself from following me wherever I go.""I am so thrilled," Ehlers grinned in making the announcement. "Thank you for having me. It's going to be a good time."The news of Ehlers joining the AMC cast was first reported by soapcentral.com in May. The news sent many media outlets into a frenzy, with several incorrectly reporting that Ehlers would be playing the role of Liza Colby. The network has yet to issue a statement that includes the name of Ehlers' new role, but the Emmy-nominated actress will not be playing Liza. A recent change to All My Children's writing team has left Ehlers' spot in the AMC cast up in the air. However, soapcentral.com has been able to confirm that Ehlers will create a brand new role on AMC. Ehlers will portray Army Lieutenant Taylor McBride, a veteran of the Iraq war. Ehlers makes her AMC debut on August 5th
