Becstar Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Filling Bec's shoes From Sydney Confidential June 01, 2005 From: WHILE Bec Cartwright and fiance Lleyton Hewitt this week made preparations for their impending wedding and the birth of their first child, TV producers were busily auditioning replacements for her Home and Away character. Confidential was given a peek at several possible replacements, a final bunch whittled down from about 100 hopefuls. Cartwright shoots her final scenes in two weeks, after more than six years. Home and Away series producer Julie McGauran says Cartwright will be difficult to replace. "She's honest, there's a warmth about her," she told Confidential yesterday. The eight young actors who auditioned at a Darlinghurst casting studio on Monday all exhibited similar qualities, McGauran said, adding: "We need to make sure that this new person has a chemistry with both the guys in the love triangle." The actors who form that triangle with Hayley's character, Kip Gamblin (Scott) and Chris Hemsworth (Kim) were on hand to gauge that chemistry. One of the young hopefuls at the audition, 21-year-old Jemima Fallows, said the role would be challenging for any actor because of the familiarity audiences have with Cartwright. "It's going to be hard for whoever gets it ... you're stepping into someone else's character," Fallows said.

purplesarah Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I thought at this stage they were down to eight hopefuls? So why are these the only three to have their photo's published?
beaus_babe04 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I can't really imagine any of them as Haley
claire_louise Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I can't really imagine any of them as Haley <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me neither, I hope they find some better ones! But maybe it will be impossible to imagine anyone as Hayley after so long. I think the one on the right looks too old. The other two are ok but not perfect.
Liz Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I like Jessica. She both sounds and looks like she'd suit the role of Hayley really well.
Ms Becky Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 I think she'd be my choice from the three in the picture too. @ them all having the exact same shade of Hayley!Hair.
