"Witchy" Denise will regret all she's done. I'm willing to bet she is behind Leland's latest behavior. She must have been planting the seed in his head for a while. Stuff like, "The only way to keep her safe would for her to be behind bars." Those kinds of things. She seems very manipulative.

You are right she is prim and proper and most likely pretty.

Traci and Dana, you're probably right. She has to value her looks, she used to take a lot of care on Gemma's. However, she seems taken aback by Leland's behaviour (even if she emulated it). I wonder if she will have to step on to Charley's side to "bring" Leland back to "normal".

Traci, I love Eduardo, too...he is exactly what I envision when I read about Reyes. Notice, I picked a MAN, not a boy.

Dayrnda put Eduardo's pic up on her Facebook page today as a potential Reyes and he's gotten a bunch of "likes" and good comments!

Oh, I saw that she tweeted the image but I didn't know about the facebook page. I'm glad she likes him as well!!

WOW, MEL! He is SO very much Reyes. Nice choice!"
Yeah, I saw that. I just didn't realise how far she went with it until she tweeted it today and now obviously on facebook. Seems you were right on spot! ;)


And you also use "bejesus"! But it's hard to associate a "perfect" character with a real person. Eduardo was really a finding, Mel.

i totally agree. dark and he's got the stare down. :]

Eduardo Verástegui Pics

I like Emma Stone for Charley, she can pull off the sillies and still be a knock out!

Plus he's wet :)

These Eduardo pics are killin' me Mel! :-) Keep 'em coming! hehe

How come you discover these people? Great work Mel, she even has the hair I imagined for Charley! And from the second picture, she does have a danger and will robinson (good one Misty! lol).

He would be an awesome Reyes!

We each have a different fantasy ideal and that makes it more enjoyable. That is what scares me when my favorite books are made into movies or television shows. Twilight and Sookie Stackhouse were ruined on screen in my view.

I'm the same way, Mel! I don't ever picture someone specific while I'm reading, except I do have to say that from the moment I figured out what Charley would look like, Eliza Dushku popped into my head and wouldn't go away!
I hate the disappointment with castings of beloved books onto screen.... I don't like the images in my head being overridden!
And after all those photos of Eduardo, he is now permanently embedded in my brain as Reyes! Which is just fine with me ;-)

I love that we also use those names! lol I suffer the same as Stephenie, I hadn't really envisioned anyone in particular, but I think Mel "ruined" me with Eduardo.

Good choice Traci!

Charley - Ksenia Solo. If you have ever watched Lost Girl on Syfy, she captures Charley's sarcasm perfectly.
Gemma - Piper Perabo
Logan Davidson - Stellan Skarsgard
Denise - Michelle Stafford from Young and the Restless
Uncle Bob - the obvious Tom Selleck
Garrett - Victor Ross II
Reyes - Jason Momoa - He can do funny, mean, and sexy!
Cookie - Jennifer Coolidge
Amber - Bailee Madison
Angel - Moises Arias
Donnie - Greg Kheel
Pari - Noomi Rapace
Neil Gosset - Patrick Wilson
Rocket - Kevin James
and a bit premature, but Donovan - Chris Hemsworth
Officer Taft - Kellan Lutz or Paul Marron..... :0)

I think Denise would be pretty...she's so superficial that her looks are important to her.
