Although Michelle Ryan may not be very well known in the United States, all of that is about to change as the actress best known in the UK as Zoe Slater on the hit BBC soap opera EastEnders has landed the lead role in the TV remake of The Bionic Woman. Hollywood Reporter reveals that 22 year old British actress Michelle Ryan has snagged the lead role in an NBC remake of the classic 70's sci-fi TV hit The Bionic Woman. As reports further reveal, Michelle Ryan, who is best known in her native Britain as Zoe Slater on the long running BBC soap EastEnders will play Jaime Sommers, a woman who nearly dies in a fatal accident only to be reconstructed with $50 million dollars worth of high-tech parts. According to Variety, Michelle Ryan beat out several big name Hollywood actresses to land the role of Bionic Woman Jaime Sommers, a role originally made famous by the lovely Lindsay Wagner. While producers of the new TV pilot have admitted the new version of The Bionic Woman will be a modern updated remake of the hit 1976 TV original, reports also reveal that the reason for selecting an unknown actress was due in part because producers felt that they wanted someone who will be a fresh face to American audiences, much in the same way that Lindsay Wagner was during the original run of The Bionic Woman. In 2000, Michelle Ryan got her first big break on the popular BBC1 program EastEnders at the age of fifteen in the role of Zoe Slater. After putting in five years on EastEnders, Michelle Ryan left the series to pursue work in film and theatre. Ryan has since appeared on the cover of FHM magazine, and in 2005 Michelle had a part in the play Who's the Daddy by Toby Young and Lloyd Evans at the famed King's Head Theatre in London. In 2006, Michelle Ryan also appeared in an episode of Marple and the independent film, Cashback, as well as Jekyll, a modern version of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that starred James Nesbitt for the BBC. As well, Michelle Ryan was reported to have auditioned for the role to replace Billie Piper as the Doctor's companion in the new version of Doctor Who, but lost out to Freema Agyeman. Aside from The Bionic Woman, the Michelle Ryan will also be seen in the new adaptation of Mansfield Park opposite Billie Piper for ITV. An actress who's in hot demand these days, Ryan will also play Lila in the film I Want Candy alongside Carmen Electra and Mackenzie Crook, which is scheduled for a March 23, 2007 release. In the mid-1970's, The Bionic Woman became a hit with fans as a spin-off of The Six Million Dollar Man, starring Lee Majors. Running on ABC from 1976 to 1978, The Bionic Woman starred Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers, a professional tennis player involved in a tragic skydiving accident. Barely surviving the fall, Jaime was rebuilt by Oscar Goldman, the same man that reconstructed The Bionic Man (Lee Majors). After the first season on ABC, The Bionic Woman jumped to NBC, where it enjoyed another season from 1977 to 1978. In total, the series produced 58 episodes. The Bionic Woman also appeared in various episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man as Steve Austin's girlfriend. The first signs of a new television series about The Bionic Woman began back in 2002 when producers Jennifer and Suzanne Todd announced that they would be resurrecting the show on the USA network. Reports also suggested that Jennifer Aniston was being considered for the lead role, but after the original announcement nothing else came of the show until NBC/Universal announced in October 2006 that it was bringing The Bionic Woman back to life. After several rewrites of the script, The Bionic Woman TV pilot was given a green light in January 2007.
