I have said this in the GH thread many a time, but I think that Kelly is on borrowed time. I don't think Frank has any great love for her after her comings and goings and various shenanigans on social media (and request to be perma-killed a couple years ago and throwing a tantrum over not getting Steve), I think his only personal interest is Britt's family, and having her back is just a means to an end to preserve Steve's leading man status since their various other romantic options in the last 2 years flopped.
They have to be aware of the negative response to her return story thus far, and while CVE, etc. may love her I think FV can take or leave her. He'll do a hard push for an unpopular character (Natalia, Kristina) but once he's done, he's done and he cuts bait real fast. Which is why poor Kate Mansi is basically Where's Lesbian Waldo now onscreen while he lets her get her directing chops BTS, and I suspect she is just running out her contract. I think if he can find another strong option for Steve KT is dogmeat again in the next year or maybe 18 months.
I will say I think Steve has actually soared back in the Quartermaine fold and with a renewed focus with him in that family, with Alexis' daughters at Christmas, etc. That is where he clicks now, and he actually clicks very well with Tracy, with the larger Q family as their talk-to and elder and so forth. It's any mob stuff with Sonny that now feels like an afterthought with Jason. You could keep him in an action-oriented role on the show that moves away from that entirely. He has become a surprisingly committed Quartermaine elder statesman.
