JUST IN! ‘LIBERTY CITY’ IS RENEWED FOR A FOURTH SEASON!
After two-and-a-half terrific seasons, it is my proud pleasure to announce Liberty City will continue for a fourth season come 2013! The fourth season will hold another 22 jam-packed episodes for the series where drama meets love!
Contracts for cast members are currently being negotiated for cast members and their LC alter-egos. We can confirm that several cast members have chosen to be on the OUTS of their alter-egos, also due to restructuring of the series. Official casting decisions are to be announced this summer during the series’ summer hiatus, which will begin June 2012 until September 2012.
Season Four is expected to premiere January 2013.

In a casting rocker, actor Texas Battle is out at Liberty City. Battle joined as an original cast member as Braden Montez and has remained on a recurring stature since the creation of the series. Battle’s on-screen mother Brenda Montez, who was portrayed by Daytime veteran Victoria Rowell, exited last year as part of a possible murder storyline.
“Texas has provided great talent to the series. However, the character of Braden has simply simmered out,” series creator Scott Andrews unveiled. “His exit will be a good one, though. Expect a lot of twists, turns and drama.”
Battle will exit the series this fall at a TBA date.
Episode Description:
Jennifer confronts Garrett about his secret life and wife; three Liberty City residents leave town, all with different reasons; Mathew gets a surprising new living mate from his past; Logan has lunch with her new daughter-in-law; and Donna gets through to Theo, who finally admits to what happened on the night in the park.

Actress Sarah Glendening has been hired in the role credited as ‘Penny’. Glendening is no stranger to the soap genre, having portrayed two characters in the medium already; Lucy Montgomery on As the World Turns and Marissa Tasker on All My Children.
The search for a new Dillon Smithson is over! After being portrayed by miscellaneous child actors, the role of Dillon has been recast with former One Life to Live actor Austin Williams.
The 15 year-old actor portrayed the role of Shane Morasco for four years on the ABC soap and is now jumping ship to Liberty City as a newly 15 year old character.
“Aging Dillon by three years is easily going to give him a bit of an edge. We kind of kept him a ‘kid’ like character through the first three seasons, but now we’re ready to give him an edge,” series creator Scott Andrews announces.
Williams will debut in the role this fall, following the show’s summer hiatus. He will be held on a recurring stature.
It’s been speculated that ATWT fav Van Hansis (ex-Luke) could be joining the series as a newly SORAS’ed Dillon Smithson. The character, currently aged 12, could be aged to a tender age of 19/20, which could result in his older sister, Jessica, being aged as well.
However, some say that while the casting of Van is true, it could be for a dramatic re-cast of Theo Johnson, currently portrayed and praised by Michael Graziadei. Until confirmation can be made, anything right now is pure speculation.
Could you accept an older Dillon? Or even another Theo? Or should Van come on as someone totally new?
As the World Turns/Loving alum Noelle Beck is being sent packing from her Liberty City alter-ego in the coming weeks. Beck originally joined the series last year as Madison Newton, estranged wife of Adam Newton (Jon Hensley). The role not only reunited her with her ATWT co-star, but as well as Martha Byrne, whom she replaced as Lily Walsh Snyder on World Turns back in ’08.
“The chance to play out this storyline with Noelle was amazing,” series creator Scott Andrews revealed. “However, the role has run its coarse. It’s time for the character and Noelle to move on from ‘Liberty City’.“
Beck’s exit is said to be filled with drama and will be quick. She will exit next month. Her on-screen daughter, Ava (Kate Mansi), is due to stay in town on recurring stature.
Episode Description:
Jessica walks into an Intervention concerning her drug use; A heartbroken Leah finds compassion and comfort in an unknowingly helpful stranger; Adam gets an unexpected visitor at his door; Ameera and Mathew go on their date; and shocking secrets are brought to light that could potentially destroy the lives whom they involve.
Y&R/AMC actress Melissa Claire Egan is joining the cast of Liberty City. She will be introduced as Holly, a single mother with a child and another on the way.
“This is going to be a very rich storyline, bringing in a struggling single mom,” it has been revealed. “And Missy is going to rock it. It’s unlike either of her characters that she’s portrayed on both ‘Y&R’ and ‘AMC’. She’s not as vindictive or quick to stab someone. She’s a struggling survivor.”
Missy will debut, in a recurring stature, this May.
