Michelle and Bill really should've ended up together.

Rachel Miner looked SO MUCH like Peter Simon, that was brilliant casting by the great Betty Rea.

Yes it was! I won't be tuning in now. I hated NSA's Michelle. She was awful. Just awful.

I would be more enthusiastic if Danny was, shall we say, dead and Michelle was coming back alone (where she could then take Bill from that twit Lizzie). But now I'm just meh. It does make sense to choose St. Alban, the last actress to play her, instead of a recast considering how long the show has. I was just hoping her return wouldn't make the Mannyacs happy.

I can't root for Michelle with NSA playing the role. She just bugged me. I even would have taken Danny on his own over her as Michelle. I know that's horrible, since she's a legacy character, but...I don't know, maybe she's improved over the past 4 years. I hope so.

It's pretty sad how miscast this core character has been since the great Rachel Miner left/was fired. As I said before, it's just tragic how no one ever brought so much emotional dept and maturity to the role that Rachel Miner brought, and she played the kid version of Michelle!

ICAM! I loved Miner in that role!

I'm fine with this. She was "my" Michelle since I wasn't watching during the 1990s and I liked her fine.

It may mean the show is starting to give up on lasting past September though, or else they would have still recast.

I laugh when I read that people liked Joie-Lenz. She was the Reva Clone, for crying out loud!!!! That's all she'll ever be to me.

I think it would have been cool if they could have brought back Rachel Miner in the role, but since PAS is returning, it doesn't make sense. Although it would have been a nice nod to the GL of 1990-1995. But I suppose if they did that, those crazy Manny Addicts would have gone nuts and there would have been a voodoo Rachel doll. I liked how they brought back Kimberly J. Brown in 2006 as Marah as opposed to Laura Bell Bundy or Lindsey McKeon.
