Amanda Bynes Cast In âTwin Peaksâ Comeback
While it is not known how many members of the original cast will be returning to reprise their roles; a new casting decision has apparently already been made. 28-year-old Amanda Bynes has reportedly been cast as a new character, Edith Cross. As the new season is still in the early stages; it is not yet known how many episodes will feature Bynesâs character. Attempts to contact Amanda Bynesâs publicist for more information about her role in âTwin Peaksâ have not been answered at press time. âCasting Bynes is a surprising move considering the actressâ recent personal problems with substance abuse,â said Hollywood insider Chip Francis. âAs recently as late September she was in trouble with the law. One can only assume Lynch and Frost know what they are doing here and see something in Ms. Bynes that exemplifies this particular character.â Bynes was arrested on September 28th, 2014 on DUI charges, her second since 2012. Bynes was also ruled to be under the influence of what police referred to as âan unknown controlled substanceâ at the time of her most recent arrest. Various press outlets have been reporting that Bynes has been seen âtalking to inanimate objectsâ recently in public. General consensus appears to be that Bynes has allegedly been on controlled substances during the recent sightings of her âappearing disheveledâ in public. However, Francis disagrees, âItâs quite possible that Ms. Bynes is just preparing for her upcoming role on the show (Twin Peaks). As the new season is so early in development, it would be folly to jump to the simple conclusion that âAmanda Bynes is high againâ. Considering the strange nature of anything David Lynch does, this could just be part of her preparations for her character. Of course the media is quick to judge and due to Ms. Bynesâs past she is not likely to get the benefit of the doubt.â More optimistic entertainment insiders hope this casting will help revitalize the former teen starâs career. âAmanda Bynes has already had a tough life. I hope Twin Peaks will bring her back on toÂ the right path,â said actor Glenn Dawson. âI means weâve seen this kind of thing work wonders for actors like John Travolta, Courtney Love and Mickey Rourke. Perhaps this is Amandaâs time to shine.â
