the BIGGEST shocker is DINA! That one I could have never imagined.

Marla's return means LML's G-O-N-E.

I forgot all about Mac and how important her return would be! Mac (AshBash of course) and Katherine had a wonderful relationship plus Billy is back with a good actor! They need her.

having Tricia Cast as Nina back is way more important to November sweeps then a re-kindling of Nick and Sharon!!!!!

can't wait for the interaction between Nina and Cane!!!! I can hear Nina saying "I am the widow of the ONLY Phillip Chancellor III!!!"

I started watching Y&R when grown-up Phillip first came back to the show and the Nina-Phillip-Cricket triangle started up. CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!

Am especially psyched for the return of these old faves -- even if it's just for a funeral (and it better be a fake-out!).

I loved Tricia because she was incredibly talented and one of the most "real" women on Y&R or soaps for that matter. This news is excellent.

Wow ! Tricia Cast, Marla Adams and Juliana McCarthy ??? Is it for real I didn't think it would happen someday.

Marla's return means LML's G-O-N-E.

Hopefully Dina will smack Glo so hard she'll wake up in China...

This is going to be so amazing. So many long gone much missed faces back in G.C....

Would it be too much to ask for to have Brenda make just a cameo somewhere? I mean, she and Jeanne get along famously, so couldn't JC just pull some strings somewhere and get her involved? PLEASE? Lord knows she needs the work.

They can have her play Jill for just one scene. "The part of Jill will now be played by Miss Brenda Dickson." And five minutes later, "The part of Jill will now be played by Jess Walton."

HATE Nina. Id never want to see her agian. I had my hopes up thinking you guys meant Tricia as in Ryan's psycho ex wife

Wow that headling is misleading. I read the story over there and so many fan faves are returning.

I am looking more forward to seeing Dina and Brock than I am Nina.

I wish they would bring Stuart back with Liz this go around. Maybe they are and I just have missed it somewhere.

I wonder how long there stay will be? It better not be a one day thing!

I'm afraid it will be. Y&R's canvas is over-stuffed right now. Unless they ditch characters, I don't see any room on the canvas for new folks. Olivia's back, Ashley's back...and so forth.

I feel this is a November Sweeps stunt.

That said, because Nina COULD have oodles of story, and Phillip IV WOULD be an interesting complication, I wouldn't doubt that this might lay the foundation for a future longer-term return (e.g., several month guest stint or something).

Nina MUST meet Chloe!

If Nina comes back, and Cricket doesn't, I'll be appalled. Those two are joined at the hip in my mind.

The ultra-fierce Marla Adams as John Abbott's first wife, who abondened her family but later returned and became a close friend of Katherine due Dina's rivalry with Jill. LOL!

Jill vs. Dina = a match made in b*tch heaven...

She's someone I wish could stick around too...but I doubt she will.

I wish they'd also find a way to have Mac back. She wouldn't miss the funeral, but if history thought us anything (John)....

My guess is that they can't bring back AshBash for two reasons. First, there is probably bad blood (fired her!). Second, she's probably a bit younger than Billy Miller, right? And they wouldn't want to highlight that. Third, it makes sense that they would bring back Mac full time one of these days...and I doubt they plan to bring back AshBash. So...they are probably not going to want us to be reminded of her.

Translation: I'll bet she is building houses in Darfur or something (Brock's daughter!) and cannot be reached.

I didn't see "Liz" in the Fairman article. I'll have to read more closely.

The problem is that Bill Bell really totally shifted the canvas around the time Y&R went to an hour. Brooks/Fosters were gone, Abbotts/Williams replaced them. The Brooks have few remaining relevant ties on this canvas. Stuart was never close to Katherine. They brought the Brooks' sisters back for Victor/Nikki's first wedding, and then Jack Smith brought Lorie back during that season where Victor was revisiting all of his past loves....but it would be hard to justify.

The only way it would make sense to me is if it were revealed that Stuart never left GC, and he is still owner of the Chronicle. Then it would make sense that he would pay respects to GC's leading citizen...and bump into Liz there. I would enjoy that.

The same problem with Mamie...Mamie never had much of a tie to Kay. If she couldn't come back for Dru's funeral, she surely won't come back for Kay's.

AshBash & Billy Miller could soooo pass for the same age. IMHO.

It's nice to see Dina is making an appearence, she hasn't been on in ages.

YES!

I have been wanting Nina to return for years!

I'm excited!!!

Well AshBash maybe would consider since there are different people at helm of the show now. The age difference between AshBash and Billy Miller is 4 years.
