Newcomer Justis Bolding has been cast as Sarah Roberts. The actress is a newcomer to daytime television and to television in general. She has appeared previously in an episode of "7th Heaven" as well as MTV's soap-like series, "Undressed." Bolding did, however, have a role as an extra on Days of our Lives in 2006.

For weeks there have been reports that former Days of our Lives star Farah Fath (ex-Mimi Lockhart) was up for the role of Sarah. The actress confirmed that she had tested for the role in a statement on her official web site, but noted that the show wanted to use her for a newly created role instead.

The last time Sarah was seen in Llanview was back in 2004. Actress Shanelle Workman held the role down for a little over a year, having started in February 2003. From 1994 to 1997, Hayden Panettiere appeared as Sarah.

Bolding first airs on June 14th.
