Good to see Tonya back, even if it's for a little while. Olivia is such a classy character that has possibilities, too bad Jack Smith screwed her over royally a few years back.

I'm guessing the rumour about the controversial recast refers to Drucilla. That rumour gets passed around every 3 months, can they stop it already. :rolleyes:

A return by Tonya Lee Williams is just awesome. She's one helluva great actress and I'm very pleased to see her return. I'd love for her to stay long term and although she's unwilling to sign a contract...I hope MAB takes her up on the Tracey Bregman style offer.

I'm so done with the Victoria Rowell obsession. If she returns great, if she doesn't, great.

I love Olivia and Tonya Lee Williams, so it's great to have her back. I don't think bringing Nate back is necessary. They already have Devon, who they don't write for. Why bring in another young male that probably won't get anything interesting to do?

As for the recast, I'm sure their insinuating Drucilla. I don't know if recasting the role is smart. I don't think fans would ever warm up to a Dru recast.

This is what I have been saying... bring back Liv and Nate! So yay!! Love this! Devon can leave for all I care...

I hope they're not recasting Drucilla, but maybe Victoria Rowell... nah, I won't go there... I really don't care. I loved Rowell's wacky Drucilla... but oh well..

I always liked Tonya Lee Williams and I'm glad to hear she'll be back on Y&R. I thought it was horrible how she was unceremoniously written off shortly after Cassie's death, considering she'd been on the show for 15 years at that point.

    • Based on script (and script alone), it feels like they're shifting Lois out of story altogether, unfortunately.
    • Lois should be seen more.  Away from this story lol!  With a sexy love interest!
    • Lois is there to [almost] drop the news of Gio's parentage. lmao. And plus, Rena is iconic and should be seen more!
    • Hmmm...Stefano being Benjy's dad is a whole other thing I suppose. Pocket would be (most likely) a grown man now.  It could be interesting for Phillip if he showed up.  I totally get what you are saying about soaps and adoption.  The minute someone finds their biological parent the poor adoptive parents are entirely forgotten about.
    • Thanks for posting that. I didn't know about "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison. I knew only "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells.   I just spent some time learning about Ellison's novel.  Now I have a lot of work to do, to learn more, to read more.
    • Because it wasn't posted here is the ONLY reason you can still post here. Numerous other examples were posted here, including, but not limited to, your insinuation of a romantic relationship between two actors on General Hospital, the medical condition of another actress from the same show, and the death of an actor from the same show (which you quickly deleted as it clearly wasn't verified, and still hasn't been), just to same a few. You are the reason I implemented the edit button time limit in the first place as you've repeatedly posted something inappropriate (as noted in my previous post and above), got called out on it by other members, and quickly deleted or removed the offending post before @Toups or I even got a chance to see it. As for Drake, I don't care who the hell told you about his medical condition. It wasn't YOUR right to say anything about it. In fact, your post on X/Twitter at the time wasn't worded in the manner in which you were responding to the news being publicly shared. You posted it to break the news. You even PM'd me and Toups, virtually threatening us with an alert that you planned to post it on the Community itself! The [!@#$%^&*]?!?!?! Stop playing innocent or victim. You are neither. Either post as you've been repeatedly asked to, or find some place else. I don't care.
    • Also, I recall the old analogy Max:Brady as Benjy:Johnson (and I guess Pocket:Kiriakis - but, you know I don't like it when they undermine adoptions by calling the biological carriers the “real parents” on soaps — Tyler has lived with his family for a long time now, he is one of them)
    • Frankie Donner and Max Becker are no biological relation, but Frankie took care of him as best he could until Shawn and Caroline adopted them both, changing their name to Brady. Max was mute for a time. Frankie is Carly's brother, which was a later retcon in the early 90's that didn't make much sense at the time. Kind of like Sarah being Neil's daughter, which coincidentally happened around the same time. Anyway, Trent Becker was Max's biological dad. His mom was said to have died. I forget why Trent had abandoned him, but I think he had scenes with Jennifer and Frankie and decided Max was better off with the Brady's and left him in their care without Max seeing him. This was the original story in the 80's. In 2008, he was reformed to be Trent Robbins, played by Roscoe Born. It was revealed he was Nicole's first husband, never previously mentioned, and that Max had a sister Melanie, Trent taught to be a con artist. Melanie obviously turned out to be Daniel and Carly's kid, and Trent was later murdered by Nick, to protect Melanie. Benjy was a deaf kid that Steve and Kayla ended up befriending. The first of Stefano's retconned children. He left town with his grandfather, Orion Hawk.  Pocket was taken care of briefly by Steve and Kayla. This was in the mid 2000's. He is the biological kid of Philip and Melanie after The Gloved Hand (EJ, and Patrick as his forced henchman) switched the fertilized eggs of Mimi, who was married to Shawn, and Belle, who was then married to Philip. Philip and Mimi ended up letting the baby be adopted. As far as the audience knows, his name is now Tyler Wilkins.  
    • Exactly!  I really want her to turn the tables and outsmart Drew, but will GH have the gumption be that unpredictable for a change.  She was there to blurt out that line at end just to give more reason for Lulu to be annoying. 
    • Max's dad was Trent.  Melanie's "dad" for a while too.   Benjy was deaf.  You have to remember that lol. Tyler Pocket does deserve justice though.
