There is a new intern at Forrester who is sticking around! Word from EW.com is that none other than Dance Mom’s Nia Sioux is now under contract with the CBS soap.

Sioux had previously appeared on B&B in a short guest arc. But then, The Bold and the Beautiful, EP and head writer, Brad Bell offered her a more steady gig.

Sioux plays Emma, who will be mixing it up with those feuding Forresters of the fashion world.

Previously on the reality series, Dance Moms, Sioux now 16, spent 7 seasons on the Lifetime show. On Dance Moms is was Nia’s mother, Holly, who would constantly be upset with Abby Lee Miller for not paying enough attention to her daughter.

Sioux has been dancing since the age of 3. Now she in in Hollywood trying her luck at acting. Look’s like she is off to a great start.

I have never seen Dance Moms. She’ll need to be dancing as fast as she can in order to not be sashayed right off the canvas like so many others as of late. Welcome aboard!

I have read about Abby Lee Miller who just got out of prison and now has cancer? Might as well drag her into town, as she already has built-in drama.

Why?

What about Charlotte? Why not make her a regular? I liked her.

Have no doubt that Nia will give it her all. She’s a really hard worker.

I’m a big Dance Moms fan (as well as B&B fan) so I like this! Go Nia!

Didn’t see any point to her scene yesterday. And what was up with Simon? It’s like he was trying to do a British accent. It was just so weird.

Now interns are going to be designing? Good grief!

So surprised when I saw Nia on B & B !!! Glad she is under contract with them. Hope all goes well, always liked her and mom Holly on Dance Mom’s. Congrats to you Nia !!!

Guess we can use more moppet power, like there isn’t enough. Can’t wait to see Ridge’s reaction when he finds out his wife invited her daughter’s ex to move in to be closer to her, rather than giving her stepdaughter more accessable room to win her husband back.

Great, show Abby what your made of and be successful, you deserve it post Abby

Brown passed away this week on November 24th at the age of 67 following a brief illness. The news came via the As the World Turns Facebook Fan Group and Soap Opera Digest.

This comes just two months later following the death of her former on-screen love interest Michael Tylo (Ex-Quinton, Guiding Light), who passed away in late September.

Those that followed Lisa’s career know she also starred in the Broadway Musical 42nd Street, while still playing Nola each and every day on Guiding Light.

She is survived by her children: James “Buddy” Nielsen, and daughter Victoria from her first husband Tom Nielsen (Ex-Floyd, GL) in addition to her two grandchildren, Penelope Ruiz-Nielsen and Brayden Hopf, and her second husband Brian Neary.
