This thread will be a reference point for all the comings and goings, as it can be difficult keeping track of all the latest news. I think it's a good idea to have all the casting news in one place, but it isn't designed to take away discussion from the individual threads.

Feel free to add to the thread whenever news becomes available. smile.png

Bright Eyes, you are doing such a great job of keeping this thread updated.

Many are wanting it to be b/c of a baby. I hope it's something interesting and nothing too mundane like, she's back to file for divorce. But, considering she fled Ramsay Street b/c Paul was threatening to dob her into the cops for being the one who pushed him off the Lassister's mezzanine, she'd have to have a damn good reason for risking her freedom, b/c Paul can be a vindictive SOB at times. A baby would be a good way to use as leverage. I'm just not sure Rebecca would want her baby to know its father, considering the terrible things he did to her.

On the plus side, I think this should guarantee some good scenes between Rebecca and Karl & Susan, Kate, and hopefully Lucy Robinson, if she's still around by then.
