Charisma Carpenter Fantasy Casting

[Livvie]

With all the threads of "Would CC be good for this?", I thought this might be a fun game to play. Charisma Carpenter Fantasty Casting. If it was up to you, you had all the power in the universe, what show that is on now or upcoming would you like to see Charisma in? What part? Or maybe you have a great idea for a show and have a part perfect for her, well, throw it out there.

I'll go first with an easy one.

I'd love to see Charisma on Psych. Mercedes McNabb was on an episode a few weeks ago so maybe they will get more from that circle of actors and this won't be quite so fantasy casting.

I could so see her as Lassiter's ex-wife. There hasn't been said much on screen about her except that it looks like she wanted kids and he didn't and that she collected figurines. I haven't read his blog on the USA site if there is anymore information. I'm thinking she is the prime suspect in her father's death but she didn't do it. Of course, I just really want to see Lassie's reaction when Shawn hits on his beautiful ex-wife, because Shawn hits on anything that moves. I think its a good combo of drama and comedy and this could be a little reoccuring part.

Its not a starring role but I thought I would start the game out slowly.

Okay, I'll play.

I would love to see her on Bones, playing Angela's college roommate. (As I understand it, they ARE going to introduce this character this season).

She could be some kind of expert they call in on a case, that would leave it open for returns.

I would love to see the expression on Booth's face when he first sees her. (They would HAVE to play that up somehow).

Ooooh, I would love this.

I was thinking last night about CC on Dexter. I thought it might be kind of funny if CC came in as someone that Rita had worked with on a previous job (cause you know the ATS fans would be giggling about that) and fell on some rough times so she moved in with Rita. Could get the real life friendship chemistry that CC and JB have on screen. Then, naturally, she gets the something ain't right about Dexter, and proceeds to stalk him to keep her friend safe. Lots of unheeded warnings to Rita, maybe enough to make herself an enemy of Dexter by ruining the perfect facade he has going.

I wanted CC on 'Bones', at one point. IMO, she would automatically have to be a love interest for Booth(because how can he NOT be attracted to her?) and I don't need crazy shippers hatin' on CC. I'd flip lol I'd definitely tune in if she ever appears, though

I'm with Deb about Dexter. Also, Livvie, your above plot sounds awesome!

I'd love to see her on 'Heroes'. Maybe, 'Lipstick Jungle'? I've never seen it, but I know Brooke Shields is on it and she plays a powerful woman on the show. Has anyone seen it?

Mad Men. She'd still be hot in 60's fashion. No CC scenes with Vincent, plz. That show is sooooo good. I think she'd have great chemistry with Jon Hamm.

That's all I got for the moment.

[nickletv]

Gah, I could see her on so many things-

Heroes is a given. But how about she go against type and play someone from The Company? Her going bad, up against Elle and Sylar could be pretty awesome.

Samantha Who as a rival lawyer from another firm who goes up against Samantha and makes her life a living hell.

I could see her on House as a nurse who snarks on him and gives him a run for his money. They could totally have a recurring flirtation thing going on until she's in need of his services while he's working at the clinic.

Lipstick Jungle. A fashionista who works with Victory or an actress that works with Wendy.

On LOST she could play Locke's unknown daughter or somehow figure into the Dharma/Black Rock mystery.

On Supernatural she could play the widow of a hunter raising her daughters alone as she juggles trying to give them a normal life and still fight the monsters that go bump in the night.

On 24 -and this may be a stretch due to the ages- but could she play Teri's mentioned but never seen sister Carole? Or if Chloe had a brother, having Charisma play Chloe's sister-in-law who gets caught in the the events of the day would be hilarious. Especially if she and Chloe snark while Jack is trying to do his Bauer-thing.

i have always wanted this,can you imagine shawn and gus' faces when they see CC as lassie's wife! but they have hired justine bateman for this part, don't see it!

but i could see her in another part on it, she has great comedic timing.

That would be awesome! DB needs to throw his producing credit around and suggest her for the part. LOL That would be such a fantastic (and hilarious) first meeting for the ATS fans, for sure.

OH NO! You are kidding me?! That sucks! I love Justine Bateman but she is all wrong for that part.

Man, that just sucks. Big time. But then again, that's why they call it fantasy casting. LOL

[DamnSkippy]

I would love to see her get a part a la "The Closer." A strong but strange female lead in a serious drama that has the potential of Emmys and being the critics' darling. (Hey, we did say fantasy, right?) Even though she does comedy and snark like nobody's business, I want more than anything for the masses to see what range she has.

Or, lacking a lead role, then a serious recurring role on Dexter. Maybe a detective who's hot on his trail and plays some cat and mouse with Dex. Yum.

Or better yet, CC stalking Julie Benz, learning Dex's secret while stalking her.

I kind of already said this on another thread, but I'd love to see her on Heros.
I'd love to see her as a scientist, mabey a doctor who works for the company, or mabey someone who discovers they have an ability. Anyway It would be great if she could be cast as a heroine. I agree someone with brains I think this would open up alot of doors for her. I like Lost too, and there's already two Angel alumni on the show so she'd be in good company. Also I've always wanted to see her on Supernatural. They've had Julie Benz, Mercedes, Willow's girl firend from BTVS, and Fred from Angel. Don't know why they've never thought of Charisma.

[jujube1013]

i would love to see on TNT or USA, as a reporter, or something. their shooting schedule would be good b/c they don't have alot of eps.
or something like "Cordy" in "birthday" as a fashion designer.

[Luna]

Yeah, Heroes or Supernatural would be great for Charisma. I´d love to see her as a new Heroine on Heroes.
