More About Billy Miller, Sterling Sulieman, All My Children Cast Changes
Matt Richenthal at .Here is a bit more insight into the two new hunks joining All My Children in the next couple weeks:
Billy Miller will join the cast as Wes, a character being developed as a new romantic interest for Babe Chandler. The rumored exit of Alexa Havins will apparently not interfere with the character's debut. Show sources have already hinted that Babe will be recast once - or if - Havins exits the show.
Meanwhile, Sterling Sulieman bows as Dre in September. The character is described as a young African-American man whose garage band sets up shop next to the Martin home. Dre will be woven into the teen scene with stories being developed with both Sean Montgomery (Brent Weber) and Colby Chandler (Ambyr Childers).
Sulieman appeared previously The Bold and the Beautiful.
The young actor has been a part of the Disney family - which owns ABC - for some time. In 2006, he was a member of the dance ensemble for Disney's High School Musical national tour. He first appears on September 4th.
The addition of the two new roles are the first signs of new head writers James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esensten putting their mark on All My Children. Typically, new scribes will phase out characters from previous writers that don't work into their vision of the show.
