MUMBAI: Bella Thorne has been signed to play an important role on the upcoming fourth season of HBO‘s Big Love.

It is understood that the role Thorne was to play was Christie, Barb‘s (Jeanne Tripplehorn) niece and Cindy‘s (Judith Hoag) daughter who has deep anger issues.

But sources indicate that Thorne will in fact play Barb‘s daughter Tancy, replacing Jolean Wejbe, who played the role the first three seasons of the polygamist drama.

Thorne recently played Christian Slater‘s daughter on NBC‘s My Own Worst Enemy and on ABC‘s Dirty Sexy Money.
