Andrea Burns was the first person to come to mind, actually, but I imagine they are looking at younger actresses for the role. Burns would NAIL this part though, and it would be such a treat to see her in it.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

And yes I think Alison would slay Jenna, but I think Christine Dwyer has the look and voice for it.

Both Christine and Ali are too young and read too young to play Jenna. Christine is 31 and Ali is 26. They could play Dawn.

I presumed that Jenna was supposed to be in her early 30s.

Mid to late 30's. Dawn is early to mid 20's. Becky is early to mid 40's

Why so many question marks? I don't think my statement was that crazy. I had looked quickly for a cast breakdown to see the ages. Are they listed somewhere?

No clue why those question marks are there. I didn't have them in my post.

I saw Jackie Burns as Elizabeth in If/Then over the weekend and I thought she'd be a good Jenna replacement.She's currently the perfect age too .Same for Janine Divita who played Anne.

When I first listened to the cast recording a few weeks ago ,I thought Christina Grimmie would've been perfect for the role in 10-15 years. Just days later,she was tragically murdered..

I disagree. I think if Jessie's contract is up and the numbers/advance is still there, Sara will hold off. She'll definitely step in at some point. But I don't think that she'd be the immediate replacement unless they needed her to be.

I know she has other projects that might move forward but I'm loving the idea of Lindsay Mendez.

I'm surprised not a single person has said Rebecca Faulkenberry. She is the first person I thought of as a potential replacement and I really do think that she'd be excellent. Margo Seibert would also be awesome.

I'm not familiar with Faulkenberry as an actress, but Margo Seibert is an excellent idea.
