I'm just glad they are digging up characters from the past instead of bringing in yet another pointless newbie!

Well if they hadn't sorased her the last time she should be 25 so not that far off. The actress looks like she could play older than 23 which is what Annie Parisse did as Julia Lindsey. This doesn't bother me nearly as much as the drastic de-aging of Brad and Mike as she doesn't have that much history with others in the cast that will be affected by her being a few years younger.

I think it's a good move to bring her back. Betsy wasn't on the last time she was on so I don't think that makes a difference. She's got relatives in Oakdale and she lived with Bob and Kim the last time she was on. We need a 20 something female in Oakdale and it's great to have one with ties that isn't related to any of the single men. She will be a forensics expert so I doubt a nutcase. Her first scene is with Margo according to the PGP Blog.

It would be great to see Betsy again. But I doubt we will be seeing her anytime soon.

They already destroyed Dani back in '96 when they turned her into a pathological liar in the whole Nikki/Ryder/Dani mess, God I hated that...

Since I've only been watching full time for about 4 years I have no clue who she is. All I know it that her mother was played by Meg Ryan, who isn't doing much at the moment in the job department.

Deirdre Skiles first airdate as Dani is Aug 15...next Friday.

Here is a pic of her

I doubt Meg Ryan will ever be back. I do think it's time to recast.

Meg Ryan would never return. But I wanted Lyndsay Frost back as Betsy. She was Betsy #2...she took over after Ryan left. I doubt we would get Frost too.

She looks like a cross between Christel Kalil (I know I didn't spell that right) and Tala Ashe (ex-Ameera) with a little Annie Parisse thrown in.

And last time she was on she was a tall blond, if I recall correctly. I guess they decided to have her look more like Steve this time around.

I agree, she looks like she could be Frank Runyeon's daughter.
