Apparently, Heather Lindell (Jan Spears) was written out on Episode#93 when Jan left Salem in pain over the an she has loved for years, Shawn Douglas Brady, died. However, Lindell's exit is only temporary. "We're going to try to turn the focus of this story to Belle and Philip," the headwriter said "We've put quite a bit of focus on it on Jan, so we want to take a break and focus on the others. She will be back, but will be gone for a bit. Some fans of LIS might know that Philip and Jan will be getting involved in a romantic story....that is planned out but won't be touched for a bit."

Lindell is expected to be back by mid/late Feburary Sweeps. And, also, in other casting news, Judi Evans (Bonnie Lockhart) last aired on Episode#93, meaning all the Lockharts are gone. But rumours say she could be back, and gossip has also spread that Connor Lockhart could come on soon.
