Has Erica's housekeeper ever been seen on screen?

My Mom says that someone on Santa barbara had a gay lover that was never seen on screen , anyone has any details on that?

Mom also says that some Hank guy on ATWT had a unseen gay lover.

It's so funny. I've been racking my brain for the past couple of days trying to remember the name McT had planned for Janet's daughter (I know...get a life!! LOL). It finally came to me. Her name was supposed to be Risa Jones.

Not sure why "Mickey" never materialized. I know the show was in talks with Taylor Miller around this time to bring back Nina on a recurring basis, to accommodate Miller's life (kind of the same deal Kate Collins recently worked out). She did make a few appearances in '96 or '97. It was during the time Brooke was dating Pierce #2 (the one just before Maxwell Caulfield), because I remember Nina counselling Brooke on that relationship. She never appeared again, and the whole Mickey thing was dropped.

Yes that's it...Risa! Thank you (and if you need to get a life so do I because I was sitting here going through the alphabet trying to figure it out...)

The only thing I can think of was, at the time there was some backlash against all the teens (Bobby, Kelsey, Anita, Scott, Kevin, Laura). Ratings were dropping. SOM did a poll asking people if the reason for the ratings drop was 1. Too much Jonathan Kinder 2. The teens or 3. Ignoring characters like Jack and Gloria. The overwhelming response was the teens. Maybe that changed their mind about Mickey? (BTW nobody said the problem was too much Jonathan Kinder lol). I know that's why I didn't Mickey coming on. Plus at the same time they were casting some european hunk for Anita (which also never happened). It was just way too much.

Supposedly, when Finola Hughes was playing Anna on AMC, the show wanted to bring aboard a cousin named Aidan. From what I've read the character sounded poorly and hastily conceived and would've been totally out of place in Pine Valley, especially with Finola having been rumored to be leaving the show soon. And evidently they had already cast a horrid, little-experienced British model-turned-actor in the role. They nixed that at the 11th hour. Trust me, the character couldn't have lasted very long and would've been just a blip in AMC history. Thank god the producers and writers had great instincts and had the foresight to never have let this character see the light of day!

Judy Wilson just fell in love with Aiden Turner when he auditioned for the role of Trey. AT is very lucky Frons came to ABC a few months later or he would not have lasted past Finola's exit.

Another one I thought of: In the spring/summer of 2001 AMC was casting the contract role of the owner of a rival cosmetics firm who would go up against Erica and Enchantment. I was so looking forward to that. Instead we got Chris Stamp, FBI agent/janitor/laywer/architect....

My guess is that had to change the role to be more bluecollar ,all thought even with JS they could have made the role work with him being a selfmade man wo become a billionare.

If JS hadn't refused to be paried with Anna or Julia he would have had a much longer role , he wnated La Lucci or nothing!

RC had alot of ideas but he seemd like he never go them on paper and then he would start storylines and just drop them!
