I believe TPTB should most certainly have cast a dynamic new leading man for Alice when she returned in 1984. Definitely not a carbon copy of Steve Frame, but a successful professional -- perhaps a well known doctor or surgeon, a retired pro-athlete, a very successful attorney, or maybe a hot-shot journalist or businessman with ties to Mac Cory. And this character should have been cast with an uber-popular daytime actor probably stolen from another soap opera. Let's face it -- Ms Courtney could play lots of things, but her version of Alice seemed to shine best in romantic situations. Without putting Alice almost immediately into a big new romance, TPTB more-or-less doomed Ms Courtney's return.
