If I were ABC please do whatever possible to keep Ms. Lozano employed. That means a short term contract with outs, allow her to do her other projects and do whatever is possible. Tea's return is the best soap return all year. Imagine that Andrea Evans returned and was such a bomb. Everything they did wrong with Tina's return, they did write with Tea's return. They had FL coming back looking better then freaking ever. The woman is one of most gorgeous women on the planet. Not to mention she came back and was intergrated with all the vets like Slezak, TSJ, Susan Haskell, Kristen Alderson. WHO DOESN'T THIS WOMAN HAVE CHEMISTRY WITH. The funny thing is she returned in 2002 in the dumbest return and she is back with a vengence, you can tell Carlivati looks FL. Apparently FV/BF/RC offered FL a long term contract and she declined. She is open to return again but please ABC needs to counteroffer. IMO this works so well because FL has chemistry with TSJ, they sizzle but a different chemistry then RH. LA DIVA LOZANO ROCKS THE HOUSE. Please ABC offer her the sun, moon, and stars to stay. How awesome is Florencia Lozano?

I don't know all what's going on behind the scenes, but if they can bend over backwards for Tuc thy sure as hell could have done a better job with Andrea Evans' Tina. With her child still being school age I know it must be hard, but she could still do summers in New York. And if the reasoning behind bringing Tuc back again and again is b/c the fans want him, well I want Tina more, and I'm sure there are many of us who feel that way. Granted, I don't want Tina with no Viki scenes.

SFK! You are just hitting all my buttons!

Well according to that same supposed "insider" It was rewrite central at OLTL this summer and war this winter. Frons thought Andrea was a waste of time and money from the getgo- and logistically it was a nightmare with her scheduling requirements.

Supposedly, Valentini and Carlivati never wanted Andrea to leave- she was supposed to come and go on a recurring basis just like David- This was all Fron's doing.

Andrea is OLTL to me (alot of people dislike her, whatever) I really hope she will return, it is good to know that the writers love her- this was the network's doing. And she should be commended for being SO kind to them in her interviews..

And she was very clear about 3-4 months in, she gave an interview and said "I SEE MY FAMILY MORE NOW WORKING bicoastal (due to ABC's and OLTL's accommodations ) then when I was working on Passions!"

Andrea would have stayed and I am sure she wanted to.

But yeah- Why Tina was segregated from the entire cast that she should have been sharing scenes with was ludicrous- and I have a feeling there is alot more to that than we know.

I make fun of (who I think are bad actors all the time), but I sure do love an 80's camp diva.

You give me Brenda Dickson and Andrea Evans onscreen at any given time and I am happy.
