No they didn’t, at least not when Adam came back to town for Ross and Blake’s wedding in the mid-90’s. Not sure if they mentioned her during his ‘89 return either and wouldn’t be surprised if they did not. 
 

(On a side note I always thought Robert Milli looked a bit odd to be playing father to Zaslow, maybe Adam should have been an older brother instead?)

I definitely would've liked to see her clash with Susan Pratt's prickly Claire, or get to know Maureen a bit. There was a great scene with the two of them fighting over Maureen's qualifications in a recent summer '84 ep I watched.

Sort of an opposite situation, which I'm sure you already know about: Milli was the first Jim Craig on OLTL and played the interracial love triangle with Ellen Holly, only to be recast for whatever reason with the much older-skewing Nat Polen as a more conventional patriarch (to Holly's chagrin) which contributed to ending that story.

Thanks @victoria foxton . 

I never can remember how pregnant Maeve Kinkead was at this point. She seemed to already be trying to hide it here.

The optics of a woman around a decade older than Morgan berating her for not appreciating the devotion of a man also or nearly over a decade older than her play out in a more uncomfortable manner when someone as young as Kristen Vigard looked was in the role. Yet she still makes me care about Morgan, and I appreciate that Morgan was allowed to not be a saint at this time.

I've seen this one a few times but I'm still glad to see it back up on Youtube.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.

    •   That was such a moving little surprise. I remember reading some comments over the years about why the show never paired them up, but even beyond the clear reasons why, I kind of prefer it this way. I'm so glad their friendship was remembered and seen as meaningful by the show.  Jenny's death is one of the few of a major character that stuck. The impact was never what it should have been because Greg stopped being a major character not long after her death, but it still shows the strength you can have on a soap if you allow a character who meant a lot to so many (characters and fans) to stay dead.  (no comment on the Jenny doppelganger plot)

    • Wow, he must have gone to a really good school for the blind if they taught him how to see again.

    • When Dylan returns briefly in 1997, his blindness is gone. I think they did briefly acknowledge this but I have not seen the episodes since they first aired.
