Does anyone think that Heather Tom will ever return to Y&R and replace that ameila henlie and re-create the role of Victoria we need her bad. She could reenigerize that boring character of Victoria.

Heather Tom tells Soap Opera Digest that she wasn't looking to get back into daytime after One Life To Live released her from the role of Kelly. But when B&B head honcho Bradley Bell called her about taking on the role of Brooke's youngest sibling Katie, Heather changed her mind. Heather had of course worked for the Bell family for years on The Young And The Restless as Victoria Newman, so she freely admits, "Brad is the only person I want to work for, so I'm really happy to be back on a Bell family show." And to make things even more fitting for the new role, Heather had dyed her blonde hair several months ago and is now a brunette, just as the original Katie was on B&B over the years.

When Bradley Bell first contacted Heather, they talked about a longer contract, but they decided to settle on a six month agreement to see how things work out.

Tom's first B&B air date is August 30.

She won't be on B&B long. That show is notorious for bringing big name talent in a large amount of promotion only to get bored three months later and backburn them indefinitely, if not fire them.

Sadly, Shawn is right. Hopefully, Bradley realizes that he has gold with Heather and keeps her on the show.

And I love her little digs at Latham, without actually saying anything rude.

Well, since she joined B&B, she revealed that she only signed on for 6 months anyway. Which is good, because that's probably how long they would've written for her anyway.

Very good point.

I like Amelia as Victoria, so I hope HT stays right where she is.

I honestly don't want to see Heather have to play Victoria in the state she's in a the moment. Vicki is just not Vicki right now and won't be Vicki again until LML is fired and a writer that knows how the characters should be written.

I like Amelia as Victoria and Heather Tom as Katie...so leave everyone where they are.

Heather Tom is a Kay Alden favorite I believe...no way is HT getting written out anytime soon.

I thought she was doing B&B currently.

I agree! I see that Amelia gets a lot of flack as Victoria, but I do like her a lot better than Heather Tom.

Please don't say things like that, I have a very weak heart, you've GOT to take pity on me! :D

Amelia's playing a character but it sure aint Victoria Newman.

Amelia Heinle is not a bad actress--but that... woman, on our screens, is NOT Victoria Newman
