According to several accounts, [[Miles Beckett]] and [[Greg Goodfried]] both recommended Melanie Merkosky for the role of Robin in the early stages of casting, but the studio wanted a new face to be attached to the project, and held an open audition for the role. According to Executive Producer Matt Siegel, only one person stood out, and he showed the audition to Miles and Greg. As it turns out, the audition was Melanie's, who had come in not knowing that EQAL had any involvement with the project. Melanie’s audition tape was to CBS and the Harper’s Island producers and everyone immediately agreed that she was perfect for the role. [http://www.harpersglobe.com/tlc_units/filter/6/356/1]

Melanie was "meant to play Robin Matthews."

According to several accounts, Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried both recommended Melanie Merkosky for the role of Robin in the early stages of casting, but the studio wanted a new face to be attached to the project, and held an open audition for the role. According to Executive Producer Matt Siegel, only one person stood out, and he showed the audition to Miles and Greg.
