Bianca Lawson is more than just a gorgeous and talented star – she is one of Hollywood’s greatest chameleons and she’s bringing her vivacious acting chops to The Secret Circle this season!
Oh my sweet Balcoin witch — how exciting! Bianca has starred in many amazing projects (from Dawson’s Creek to Vampire Diaries) so her mysterious TSC role is bound to thrill! She will be playing Melissa’s cousin Karima Glaser and will appear in episode 3.10 and 3.13.
And, in honor of Bianca’s arrival in Chance Harbor, we’re celebrating her top five most memorable roles. Check them out below!
The Second Slayer
Bianca made a big splash on television when she popped up on the second season of cult sensation Buffy the Vampire Slayer claiming to be "the slayer." Considering that Buffy Summers was very much alive and that the slayer prophecy said that there into every generation, "one girl in all the world, a chosen one" is born, it seemed that her character was full of tall tales.As it turns out, Kendra went from Potential to full-blown Slayer due to a technicality (aka Buffy drowning in season one). Still, regardless of how Kendra learned to use the pointy end of the stick, Bianca brought the character to life in a very touching way. Kendra may have tough, strict and unamused by Buffy's frivolous LA world, but Bianca perfectly captured Kendra's loneliness and well-concealed innocence.

The New Generation
Ever wish you could fuse together Lisa Turtle's fashionable ways and Jessie Spano's straight-A vibes? Well, it seems that someone did because Megan Jones happened!So who is Megan Jones? Well, she's Bianca Lawson's sharp and sassy persona on Saved By Bell: The New Class! As the show's residential smart cookie, Bianca brought plenty of laughs --and reasons --to many a-strange situations. And to boot, she did this all while trying to avoid the unsolicited affections of a creeper named Weasel (who was so annoying that he managed to achieve the impossible and make Screech look like a stud by comparison).
Overall, even though Saved by the Bell: The New Class wasn't exactly a hit, Bianca played her role with crisp perfection and really showed off her humorous side!

Dancehall Queen
MeeOW! Bianca Lawson is one of the sweeter girls in Hollywood but she whipped out the claws --and sharpened them -- for an unforgettable showdown in the dance drama Save the Last Dance.Julia Stiles' character may have been all sugar and nice as the residential ballerina in an urban environment...but Bianca brought the naughty and spice onto the dance floor as Nikki, a ferocious gal trying to win back her ex (who was getting cozy with Miss Twinkle Toes).
A sexy shimmy here. A graceful booty drop there. Bianca definitely pulled out all the stops! Check out how she took control of the dance floor.
Ghost Witch
Bianca made her mark in Mystic Falls as Bonnie Bennett's all-knowing ancestor --whose grimoire was chock full of potent spells.With a bonnet fastened around her pretty head, Emily reentered the realm of the living (as an apparition of course) and focused on putting a stop to Katherine Pierce's diabolical plans. And, in order to successfully accomplish her goal, she had to turn to Bonnie Bennett (who had just begun exploring her magical roots).
True, Emily may have spooked out poor Bonnie and her friends numerous times, but Em's power was so great that it resonated in life and in death.

Pretty Little Maya
It seems like Bianca has worked on all of the hottest shows on tv...including ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars! On PLL, Bianca plays Maya St. Germain -- a new student at Rosewood High and a gay teen. Seems like a lot of pressure, doesn't it? Nope. Not for Maya at least.Not only does Maya strike a romantic chord with Emily Fields but she's likeable and embraces her individuality.
Bianca truly captures her character's sweet and unique vibe on the show, and shows just how great it is to be unique and honest with your true self.
