Casting a former supermodel for a daytime soap appearance doesn’t exactly pack the same punch as James Franco doing General Hospital, but hey, CBS could do a heckuva lot worse than a Czech beauty: EW.com has learned exclusively that Paulina Porizkova will do a multi-episode arc on As the World Turns beginning Jan. 5. She will play a character named Clarissa who has a history with Simon Frasier (Paul Leyden). ATWT averages 2.52 million viewers.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
really, this is news?!!?
So, it’s another Vienna?
Glad to see my soap being mentioned in EW! Cannot wait, I love the charactor Simon and I am curious to see Paulina on a soap!
Another Vienna, only older. Ugh. I really wish Paul Leyden would stick around for a while so I could get some Simon & Katie magic!
I’m just glad Simon is coming back at all… and at least he’ll be aorund for a couple of months, since she’s not starting until January!
Its about time we get a daily dose of news about soaps on the site because they are Entertainment so I would love to see this sort of thing be kept alive, EW. I am a subscriber and I would be even more inclined to stick with you if you had news about the daytime world every day, keep it up!!! Loving it!!!!!!!
P.S. We all know Simon hooked up with Vienna and now this girl seems to be like her so I guess Simon has a type. I would take Katie and Henry again before a pairing of Katie and Simon, that ship has sailed but since Henry was the cause of what happened, that relationship will never be the same.
Geez . It must be a sloooooow news day for this to worthy of mention. sub-par “stunt casting”…ATWT could do much better…. But suppose if this gets ATWT talked about AT ALL it’s could be considered a success…. But really , Paulina P.? And her fan base is who exactly?
I don’t watch ATWT, but I have to commend EW.com for covering soaps news. It’s appreciated. Keep it up!
Ugh, I do not like her. So glad she was cut from the panel on ANTM. Bring back Vienna instead!!
