Isn't Lisa Rinna replacing her?

EDIT: Just read the link. I imagine they'll probably bring back Bianca Marroquin or Michelle DeJean for the 23452352352th time between Bebe and Lisa.

According to the link I just posted, Lisa Rinna doesn't start until June 19.

i bet she extends till Lisa Rinna starts. Yet wouldn't it be great if she switched back to Velma now that her new hip has been broken in with Roxie???

they're advertising her being in the show that long- they also advertised her being in it until March as well.

Michelle DeJean is always a treat as Roxie, she didn't get to play the role full time until about 2 years ago. She is truly a sensation. The truth is Charlotte d'Amboise was the Roxie they could ALWAYS bring in over and over again between stunt stars. Charlotte played the role on and off since 1997, and she's finally getting a break from the role. And the Weissler's must find it troubling when they can't just throw Charlotte in there anytime.

Trust me, you're not missing anything without Bebe, she was great as Velma, but is only so so as Roxie.

I would rather see Michelle DeJean as Roxie.

so does anyone know for sure she will be done before then?

No one really knows for sure, but April 22 is when she "officially" extended to. You never know though, she could extend again. We just have to wait and see. That being said, I have yet to see a replacement announced for her between April 22 and June 19.
