Kim Rhodes as Lillian in ASp3

Kim Rhodes, the actress who played Lillian in ASp2, has the twitter id of @kimrhodes4real.
I visited her blogsite, and she has some interesting insights where men are concerned. I found it entertaining as well as enlightening.
I've been on the fence as to which actress would be better cast for ASp3. When I tweeted at her, asking if she was going to reprise her role for part 3, she replied that she thinks they're recasting it. I encouraged her to try for it again.
There's one big reason why she should be at the top of the list unless they can find someone exceptional to knock her off of it; continuity. I think, and I believe many here agree, that the change of actors, while actually a good thing, hurt ASp2.
She did a fine job as Lillian, just very different from Rebecca Wisocky's performance. As I said elsewhere, more of a jungle tiger than an elegant cobra.
I think, with the material to be covered in part 3, the jungle tiger aspect would work better. Especially if they insist on being graphic about her banging James. Can't very well show her as frigid or fragile when the two of them are tearing into each other symbolically raping Henry.
Rebecca's portrayal, probably intentionally on the part of the director, was of a detached woman, capable in her social circles, up on the latest fashions and just the right thing to say at parties, but not as competent at the in-fighting necessary in part 3.
So, I'm putting a word in here for Kim Rhodes to reprise her role. If the alternative is yet another actress to play Lillian... stick with Kim. If the alternative is Rebecca... I still think Kim's portrayal would be more appropriate for what's coming.
