Y&R: Andrea Evans to return?

[Chris B]

I read on Gold Derby's Daytime Emmy forum that SOD is reporting that Andrea could be headed back to Y&R. As Patty Williams Abbott, the role she previously played? Nope. As Amber's mother Tawny. *vomits* It'll take her however I can get her, but Paul actually needs family so this seems insane to me.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't think it's true, she said the only soap she'd consider going back to is OLTL, when Passions comes to an end of course.

[Tishy]

OLTL needs Tina Lord!!!

[AddictedToSoaps]

Get her back to OLTL.

[Cheap21]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ive been waiting over 10 years for Tina to return to OLTL.

[David_Vickers]

I sure hope to God this is NOT true. If it is I will be a little pissed at Ms. Evans for not returning to ONE LIFE.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

[DeeeDee]

She is NOT Patty. Never was, never will be.

[KMan101]

Ugh.

She needs to go back to OLTL once Passions is over and done with.

They could kill two birds with one stone.

Remember Patty went crazy, shot Jack, and left town. Years later, Mary Williams told Paul she had gone missing.

What if she went to California, drifted into drugs and debauchery, and became a tollbooth operator? So her family couldn't find her, she renamed herself Tawny.

Yup...Amber's mama.

This brings Patty back, BUT it also links Amber to a "core" (well, kinda, once was for a few months) family on the show.

Then, if they bring Mary Williams back, she has a wild daughter, wild granddaughter, and a new law-and-order granddaughter. Suddenly, we have hope for some depth and some humor.

That's what _I_ hope happens.

[DeeeDee]

No. No way. No how. Nuh uh. Not NEVER.

You know..I was reading a Jerry verDorn interview over at SoapTownUSA and to tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind Liz Kiefer coming over to OLTL and portray the role of Tina Lords. Maybe then, her talents would not be wasted like they are now on GL. Here's the link to the interview: http://soaptownusa.com/cinterview.html

Amber, a Williams? No thanks. The less ties that twit has to the canvas, the easier it'll be to remove her like the canker-sore that she is.

[MarkH]

To paraphrase Carolyn Hinsey: If the characters we care about (e.g., Mary, Paul) care about Amber...well then we the audience will start to care about her :-).

Seriously, I am one of the few who LIKES Adrienne Frantz and Amber. She's the only female member of the young set who is NOT milquetoast...who brings energy to her scenes. She's a classic soap catalyst. I think the structural problem is that they didn't mine her B&B history (so she has no depth on Y&R). This would be an alternative way to build some depth.

But I know I'm in the minority on this one :-)

[AddictedToSoaps]

Well, I've always kind of liked Amber too. I really don't know why, I just do.

[DeeeDee]

Amber belongs on B&B. Period.

Amber doesn't belong on Y&R. Never has, never will.
