So would Greg Foster, lol! He'd be to Y&R what Ross Marler once was to GL, and Paul Martin to AMC. Plus, it would be one way (out of many) to reintegrate the "old" Y&R (some Brookses, some Fosters and Katherine) with the "new" (some Abbotts and several Newmans).

I would love it if Christine and Greg opened up a practice together... but I think Greg's return should be enough as far as old characters returning. Except if they bring Laurie back. That I would be down for.

Ok, we are going round and round. You would like Michael and Lauren off the canvas, and I don't. As for Michael taking his profession seriously, this is a soap. No way would Michael ever have been a lawyer again after his criminal past, but Bill Bell liked CLB and the character so much he wrote him back on the canvas after being away for four years. Michael is never going to be a white hat character. He is a gray character with a dark side who has shown growth over the years unlike some other characters who are making the same mistakes they made 15 or 20 years ago.

Why? Just because someone leaving isn't a crushing blow, I completely disagree that they should be let go. Again, only about 10 people max would be a crushing blow if they left. Y&R has always had A, B, C and D stories. I like it like that. It wouldn't help the show in anyway to get rid of Lauren since TB is on recurring. Plus we have no way of knowing if MAB will choose to write more for Lauren in the future, but if all I can get is the occasional scene, I'll take it. She's part of the long term fabric of the show. And MAB may leave at anytime and the next HR may love writing for Lauren. LML obviously didn't like writing for Jill and Kaye, but I'm very thankful she didn't get it into her head to kill them or send them off, like she did to Ashley.

I just have no intention of watching Michael Baldwin defend people who he helped to cover up their crimes, like Gloria and Kevin. What a laughable lawyer and a laughable court case.

It gets boring after a while to have a criminal defending other criminals. A lawyer should be able to be completely separate from the crimes his clients commit.

Nobody is arguing that.

The problem is that he & his family ALWAYS self righteously use the law as a weapon with the justification that people look down on them cause they are low class instead of the horrible crap they DO.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
