According to DC, Adrianne Leon is set to take over the role of Sarah Roberts when Justis Bolding departs. I think it's perfect casting and Adrianne will be in a role that she can sink her teeth into.
So Yay or Nay for Adrianne taking over the role? Discuss.

During the midst of this OLTL perfectness (LOL), there have been two weak links acting-wise. Justis Bolding and John Brotherton (Jarrod). Neither are bad, but they pale in comparison to the rest. I would have thrown in Melissa Archer, but she's really surprised me lately.
I hope this works out for Leon. She wasn't used at GH, despite an Emmy nom, and though she was used at Y&R, she was completely crapped on in the end. She deserved better.

I had a strong feeling they were going to recast the role. While Martha Madison would've been perfect, Leon is more than capable of playing the part and reminds me of the previous Sarah, who was a brunette and a singer.
I dont mind this move one bit. Justis got better the past few months..especially when Sarah was wrecked over Nash's death.But Leon is a fine young actress and very pretty. I look forward to her joining the show.

Love Leon, but am not sure I can see her in this role. Madison, IMHO, would have been a better choice. And actually, I don't see the need to recast, as Justis has grown quite well in the role, I believe.

I agree. IF you're going to recast or fire someone, she would not make my top three or even five.
It would depress me only because it would confirm Tammin Sursok will never leave Y&R. I always have to hope that they'll bring Adrianne Leon back. As for Leon as Sarah, I think she could be fabulous. Justis is just extremely bland and forgettable. She has chemistry with no one and is just filling space. Yeah she's not horrible, but she's not great or even very good.
it's funny because i have just recently started to like Justus Bolding in the role, but i do adore Ms. Leon and just hope she is given the proper material to support her talents, unlike on GH where she got no material at all.
Ron Carvalit, you are my hero!
