Tonya Lee Williams on a Y&R return Would you consider a return to Y&R to reprise your character? “Since I left, Y&R has asked me many times to return; in fact, they just asked me again to come back for the 50th anniversary. I truly loved doing the show, it was a huge part of my life, but the work I do now is so different and very fulfilling, I can’t imagine going backward in my life to recreate something that I consider my past. I want to be remembered for the Olivia I created, the one in the audience’s mind, not an Olivia who is now 15 years older. There was something just magical about Malcolm, Olivia, Neil, Drucilla; it’s something that can never be replicated. I would love to return if we could all be together again, but that is impossible, and I am so happy to have been a part of that magic.”

Unlikely Y&R Who would have thought Casey's trampy sister Nikki would become a Genoa City leading light? Or that cute teen model Cricket who popped up now and then would still be with us fighting for justice?

The rest of the place was way more in need of an update then and now.

The layout is fine-there's even a proper staircase- but the decor is horrible and cheap looking. I wish they could find it in the budget to redocorate both penthouses. It's ridiculous that Nate's penthouse has been through several owners without so much as a cushion being changed. And Crimson Lights needs a revamp. What business wouldn't update after more than 20 years? Glad to see GCAC back-is the set identical to the original? Somehow the bar bar area seems different? And there have been some extras! Not enough but it's a start. It would be great to see Mrs Martinez, a PA for Devon, some workers at NE etc. They wouldn't have to be seen often, just enough to establish that they exist- and then mentioned in between appearances.

I can see it now-Cameron will seduce Faith and she'll hit him over the head. Sharon will protect her by helping to hide the body. BTW where is Doris? They have had years to address this. If they don't want to have her onscreen, just say she is in acare facility and mention visiting her from time to time.

Based on everything Josh has ever written for the show, we know this return will be full of plot holes,and have zilch long term impact. At least we get the return of Sharon's cottage set...

Lauren Y&R-the bitchy rival to our heroine Traci. could have easily been sent packing at the end of Summer. Brittany Y&R-part of the teen scene to boost Mac & Billy but became the focus for several years. I guess you would have to include Luke on GH.

Maybe Bill could throw a couple of million Y&R's way to help with the budget.

Thanks for the replies .Yes Wanda seems to fit the bill. As for the 3 month statement,Jed does make other errors in the book,like saying he was up for the role of Doug in 1972 (not 1970) so it's quite probable he was out with the dates.

In his book, Jed Allan talks about Paul Rauch hiring an young actress to play against CC. Jed says she was there for 3 months and made his life a living hell. He said she was an angry woman who upset the cast and crew. WHen he asked her why she took on the role, she replied that she was just killing time until something better came along. He mentioned she was living with a nice guy, a well known actor at that time. They were glad to see the back of her and he says it was only the second time in his career he's had to deal with someone like that. Who was that actress?
