Return of Fan Fave to AMC

When I read the title I was sure it'd be someone lame like Aiden Turner. THIS is a pleasant surprise.

Love her, liked Brooke most of the time and seeing Brooke and Erica spar has the potential to be amazing.

I'd love to see Tom back in a more B level capacity (I love the character, I just do't think him returning for an A level storyline makes any sense right now) and loved him with Brooke but... Nah, they'd be boring now. Plus to bring back Brooke only to have her fall for a character who hasn't been a major part of the show since 1995 (and only made some appearances since) would kill the whole purpose of bringing Brooke back IMHO--which is to interact, shake up and reshape the characters that are already on the show--help improve what we have.

(that makes me wonder though--was Tom approached to do the Anniversary ep? Seems odd he wasn't there)

I would love it if she returned formore than a stnt, but at this point I'll take what I can get (also I think shorter character stints are the way soaps in this current era will be going--and ifit's all Julia Barr is happy to commit to right now...)

Even with the little she was given on the anniversary show you could see the personality shining through. She can smirk with the best of them. Brooke/Erica are better than Viki/Dorian on OLTL. I'm hoping Brooke does leave town with Adam when the arc is over. Pratt tried to shove couples we don't want down our throat - Adam/Annie and Ryan/Erica. The last thing I want to see if Annie becoming a wealthy widow. If DC is going to leave I hope they don't kill off his character.

OK, AMC...now you have my attention.

She has connections to most of the canvas, but I wish she still had family around. Even though she was strong and smart, Brooke has unfortunately mostly been defined by the men in her life. AMC really made a mistake by not giving the character of Brooke strong familial connections other than Phoebe after the show dumped the Tylers. (Jamie and Laura? Eh.) I guess my point is that I wish AMC had a stronger community for her to return to.

But I'll take Julia Barr back anyway I can have her.

Of course we want to see Brooke with Erica, Adam, and Tad, but the only "squandered" return was Nina not being able to share her scenes with Palmer. As for everybody else, it worked just fine given the premise.

Considering how long it's been since we've seen some of those people, and may never see them again, I don't think it was good enough. I wanted heartfelt moments between people. Not just characters standing and recounting moments to flashclips. I wanted to see Lily and Jackson together. Erica and her girls. Nina and Palmer. Maria and Mateo together and remembering Julia. Something more. I feel like if this is what they were going to do they should've done a straight up clip show.

I see what you mean in terms of warm fuzzy moments of togetherness, but perhaps my opinion is based more on the characters who were chosen to return. I don't think the fans are exactly starving for more Erica, Bianca, and Kendall, and Lily, I didn't care to see her, period, but there's still time for Lily and Bianca in CA. I don't think stuff like Maria telling her own brother what Sam and Maddie are up to can touch her solo reaction to the mention of Julia's name. Plus, Greg has visited quite recently, and of course more with Brooke is to come. I still think not working something out with James Mitchell and Taylor Miller was the only real gaffe.

    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
