I think she'd make a good Catherine

She does remind me of LH in that clip, but surely 10 years too old for the lead in a CW remake?

That said, while Linda was great in the role, I'm going to commit the ultimate blasphemy and say that I never found her a great beauty and would like to see someone more traditionally beautiful in the remake. Amber is - like Linda - an attractive woman but she isn't "beautiful" in my eyes.

(I'm so shallow!)

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

Well, everyone's entitled to their own views -Is there any particular actress you might like to see as Catherine? -As for the CW -I'm hoping they won't go too young, like teens, but if C was say 25 it wouldn't bother me

TBH, I've not really put any thought into it. I guess it depends on the way CW go (ie their "normal" way, or a "proper" remake); to be fair, it's hard to see how they could go teens if there is to be a procedural element as stated - but then it is CW. If I think of anyone, I'll post.

Have just thought that it would be nice if Ron & Linda had cameos.

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

One for the pot: Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost, V). Beautiful but has that slight fragility. Obviously no good if it's a "teen" remake!

I really like her! She was great in both those series! -I hope they don't go under 25 w/the chosen actress -I'm hoping the 'procedural twist' most of the articles mention will be Catherine being more 'hands-on' involved in investigations

I'm sure she would, it is the choice of studio and channel that I don't trust; CW, why CW?

Great Catherine!!
