Way back in February, Shed announced that they had sold the rights to Bad Girls to Fox Television, who plans to make an American version to air on FX. Now, I know many of my international flisters are unhappy to hear this, figuring that we Americans could never capture the beauty that is early BG love. To solve this potential international crisis, I offered to cast the show based on Series One. My cast behind the cut:



Helen Stewart- I am torn between two people for this pivotal role:


Renee O'Connor-she 's selling art to finance a movie, so she really needs a job.

My other choice is

Tracie Thoms- cause she's just purty.

Nikki Wade

Andrea Parker...come to mama, YEAH! She can play icy cool, and tenderly sweet, and she has legs for days.

Shell Dockley

Denise Richards. She can do crazy bitch like no one else. And she was married to Charlie Sheen, so yeah,

Sylvia "Bodybag" Hollomby

Nuff said.

Daniella "Denny" Blood

Michelle Rodriguez. We need to keep this hottie actively employed so she'll quit getting arrested.

Yvonne Atkins

Angela "Hoat and Hard" Bassett-Mrs. CB's choice and I agree completely. Her hubby is some big rap producer/gang banger...oh the potential.

Jim Fenner

Teh Hoff- needs no explanation.

For other characters I was thinking along the lines of:
Dominic: Haley Joel Osment- we need to get this little hottie (/perv) refocused on his career and away from teh drugs and booze.

Zandra: Lindsay Lohan-she's already doing the real life research

Rachel Hicks: Eith one, or both of the Olsen Twins

Lorna: Shannen Doherty?-yeah, I got nothing

Sean: The same guy that played Perdicus in X:WP, specially if we go with ROC as HS

Did I miss anyone?


So my question is, who would you cast? And if you aren't into Bad Girls, pick an old TV show being revamped for current times, and cast it.

I shall repress my 'why the bloody hell do they need to re-make it, when they could have just shown the original' rant, and stick to the question ... kinda.

One of the good things about Bad Girls, when it started, was that there weren't any recognisable names. So Simone Lahbib and Mandana Jones simple were Helen and Nikki and not Gabrielle in prison or whatever. So I'm going to be a total pain in the arse and say they should pick unknowns for the main parts.

Although I'm also going to contradict myself and say I like the idea of Michelle Rodriguez as Denny, although mostly as tough-Denny, not vulnerable-Denny.

I agree with you about Haley Joel Osment--and am glad to see I'm not the only perv around. =)

As to your other choices--I didn't know who any of them were except ROC (and you can forget my vote for her), but I think Sharon Small would be ideal for Nikki--or Helen. Or for any damn part!

Gabrielle in prison

And yea verily, in the valley of smut, a plot bunny was born.

Gabrielle in prison

Christ, I'd lobby my company to buy spots on FX to keep up the advertising revenue and ensure at least a season's woth of Gabs in prison!
