Eden Riegel, Emmy Award-winning actress who is best known for her portrayal of Bianca Montgomery on the daytime drama
All My Children, has joined forces with her husband Andrew Miller in order to come up with a new web series called
Imaginary Bitches.
The series tells the story of a single girl who deals with the lonely reality that all her friends are in serious relationships by creating imaginary friends to talk to... who turn out to be serious bitches.
Aside from the former
All My Children actress,
Imaginary Bitches also stars Elizabeth Hendrickson, Brooke Nevin and Connie Fletcher-Staton. Some of the featured guest stars include Michael Traynor, Jessalyn Gilsig, Aaron Staton, Greg Rikaart, James Kee, Chandra West, Brittany Ishibashi, Sam Page, Charlie Koznick, and Billy Aaron Brown.
"This is the future of the entertainment industry," said the
All My Children actress, who notes that having no corporate oversight on the project allows for an "incredibly creatively satisfying" work experience.
Riegel, who plays the 20-something unassertive lead on the web series, reveals that her own ladylike demeanor inspired Miller when he created her fictional character Eden.
"When I curse, or say something off-color, it still doesn't quite fit, and I'm a little embarrassed by it," she explained. "I have kind of a squeaky clean image, but for the longest time I would hear these sort of bitchy voices in my head, and I would silence them. I would say, 'don't say that, that's mean.'"
Imaginary Bitches is comprised of 13 web-episodes. Seven out of the 13 have been posted so far, while the remaining six will begin airing July 11. The series has now been viewed by over 1.5 million people, and the cast and crew are ready, willing and able to begin shooting for a second season, if the fans want them to.
