And I never said that you, specifically, did.

^I know.

OK, just making sure, LOL. All is good.

Yes, all is well.

Why does everyone act like simply writing Sheila changed her mind or something would be such a colossal re-write. It's not really a stretch or anything. And it wasn't even a good plot twist, anyway.

Because Latham rarely gets credit for anything she does so by rewriting history and I'm sure the majority of people complaining would still be complaining and it would be another reason to rid Y&R of this newcomer. The some mags would tear her to shreds.

I still am supportive of this casting choice btw. She took the most interesting part of a terrible story and has gone with an outside-of-the-box story. Being predictable would be making Amber, Gloria or Lauren, which we all suspected. I tend not to support rewriting history which is why I'm not looking for Kimberlin Brown to return.

Just liek Kay and Jill. I had to sit through and suffer the story and I don't want my time wasted by them saying it was all a joke. Work with what you have!

I hope that Michelle Stafford can disguise her voice, because she has a very distinctive voice.... very un-Sheila.

I hope that Michelle Stafford can disguise her voice, because she has a very distinctive voice.... very un-Sheila.

LOL, I wonder why that would be...maybe perhaps because Sheila has KB's voice? You know, because KB IS Sheila, no matter how many actresses LML recasts her with.

Is Sugar still being imprisoned as Sheila? Maybe KB can come back, even on B&B, as Sugar who was led down the garden path by the evil Sheila and is somewhat reformed!!

And now Michelle Stafford will be world famous as Sheila.....

What the hell?!?! Are you trying to rub it in or something?

Kimberlin was Sheila. Michelle is now Sheila. When they mention Kimberlin in the mags you know what they're gonna say? Kimberlin Brown (ex-Sheila). There's no way around that. It's fact. You either deal with it or you don't.

Kimberlin should have stayed her ass on OLTL. Her godawful return to Y&R was just that....awful.

Honestly Ryan, i'm dissapointed in you, this is pretty pompous how you write off an amazing actress' contributions to daytime as such a memorable character. This REALLY pisses me off. There's nothing worse than somebody gloating over the misfortune of others.

This is so ridiculous that it is mind numbingly stupid. The idea of thin but beautiful Michelle Stafford playing the larger boned but beautiful Kimberlin Brown is so damn Passionsesque that its making my head hurt. Y&R is a cartoonish caricature of what it used to be.

If nothing else, this storyline at least proves to me that Y&R really isn't sooo much better than all the other soaps on the air, as so many of its fans make it out to be. So much for that.

I respect the opinions of those that are against this storyline, but unless you know the end result you shouldn't pre-judge a book by it's cover.

I am possibly the one person in the world who never took to Tamara Braun as Carly Corinthos, and I never did, even though she was on my screen for four years. I was and still am a Sarah Brown fan first. My actress won three consecutive daytime emmy awards for her role, and even though I never thought she could be replaced, she was. Any actor is replaceable.

I can even bet you that they can even replace Erica Kane if they wanted to. They sure replaced Erica's dead fetus with a live one.

Also, while Erika Slezak is credited as Viki Buchanan on "One Life To Live," she isn't the original one. Genie Francis wasn't the original Laura on "General Hospital." Peter Reckell was successfully replaced as Bo Brady on "Days of our Lives." Lisa Rinna was replaced two times on "DAYS."

And there is also one thing to consider....whether it helps my point or not....you have to think about this from a business perspective. Which is cheaper, Kimberlin Brown and promoting her return or Michelle Stafford and continuing/adding to story?

And LAWD knows we don't need ANOTHER talented vet fired for dead weight.

Recast Susan Lucci? Yeah, THAT will be happening...

There are just certain roles that should not be recast. Sheila as played by Kimberlin Brown IS one of them, I don't care what anyone says.

I would just like to see what happens if/when someone tries to recast any of these roles:

Susan Lucci (Erica, AMC)

Deidre Hall (Marlena, DAYS)

Kristian Alfonso (Hope, DAYS)

Kim Zimmer (Reva, GL)

Frances Reid (Alice, DAYS)

Erika Slezak (Viki, OLTL)

Eileen Fulton (Lisa, ATWT)

Don Hastings (Bob, ATWT)

Kathryn Hays (Kim, ATWT)

Helen Wagner (Nancy, ATWT)

Tony Geary (Luke, GH)

Genie Francis (Laura, GH)

Juliet Mills (Tabitha, PASSIONS)

Josh Ryan Evans (Timmy, PASSIONS)

Susan Flannery (Stephanie, B&

And others I'm sure...
