  • Bianca Christine Montgomery is a fictional character from the American daytime drama All My Children. She is portrayed by actress Eden Riegel; others who have portrayed this role include Lacey Chabert, Nathalie Paulding, Gina Gallagher, Caroline Wilde, and as a baby, Jessica Leigh Falborn. Previous to Riegel being cast, Bianca was portrayed solely by child actresses. The daughter of characters Erica Kane and the late Travis Montgomery, Bianca was born on-screen on February 8 1988; however, her birthday was revised to February 9 1984 on January 31 2002 by the show's producers. Bianca has gone on to be the subject and study of various academic works, said to have inspired soap opera writers to begin with the scripting of sexual identities of tortured teen characters, and is considered a heroine on the show. Throughout the soap opera medium, as well as outside of it, her popularity has been cited as groundbreaking. She decided that it was time to major in social and political theory, go to law school, and become a lawyer. However, while attending Harvard, she received "a call from a casting director who thought that the five-foot-six beauty should audition to become Erica Kane’s daughter." a story that All My Children creator Agnes Nixon cites was in part inspired by Chastity Bono's memoir Family Outing.had loads of friends who were gay, but she wasn't able to deal with [Chastity's being gay]. In this prejudicial society in which we live, the first reaction from a parent usually is, 'What did I do wrong?'" Nixon, well-known for her socially relevant storylines, stated that the makings for the Bianca story began in 1947; a college housemate "came out" to Nixon when Nixon was of the same age as Riegel in 2000. The writers characterized Bianca's personality as very kind-hearted, but intolerant of nonsense. These traits, she is written to share with her parents and her late grandmother (Mona). Like everyone in Bianca's family, she is detailed as protective of her loved ones. While not always scripted to agree with them, the character is seen as loving them all greatly. Megan McTavish, the show's head writer at the time, said she was "most astonished that fans elevated Bianca into one of the serial's 'tent poles' — soap parlance for characters who hold enormous sway with viewers". McTavish detailed that if a character is nice to Bianca, the audience tends to like that character, and if he is mean to Bianca, the audience knows he is a bad guy. "It's stunning," she cited. "The lesbian girl became the moral tent pole of our show." (en)
