That's very exciting! I hope it happens.

It’s unclear how Moore will be woven into the final episodes of the drama, which will end its 54-year-run in September, but it’s not expected to be a significant appearance.

Unless she's just sitting in the background it's still significant to me. We haven't seen Frannie or Sabrina in over 15 years. Pathetic.

I hope this goes through. I want to know where they are and what's happened to them, and I want to see them with Bob and Kim again. Even if it's just for a day or two during Bob and Kim's anniversary.

And bring back Andy! JM's Frannie had wonderful relationships with Andy and Tom.

I really hope this goes through.

I also wish they could try to ask Marisa Tomei to make an appearance. Wouldn't it be a wonderful goodbye for Lisa if Marcy returned to Oakdale and asked Lisa to move to London with her? A handsome duke or lord could accompany Marcy and catch Lisa's eye.

Julianne Moore has always talked kindly about ATWT. It would be great to see her again. If things dont work out with Julianne I hope they get Mary Ellen Stuart as Frannie and Claire Beckham as Frannie. As long as Frannie returns I'll be happy. I was hoping Frannie would return for Bob & Kim's wedding anniversary in April.

Too bad Meg Ryan doesnt feel the same way about ATWT as Julianne does....pfft....

No to Marisa Tomei...sorry....lol. I didnt care for the character. I love the actrees but the character was just blah for me...lol. I'd rather see her son Scott return or one of her ex's. There were rumors a while back that several major/big stars were interested in returning to the final eppys of the show.

Yes, I'd love to see Julianne again, and I hope she has enough time to return and the show treats her with enough respect to where she can return. If not I'd love to see Mary Ellen Stuart again.

They might as well try asking Meg Ryan, although we may know what her answer will be.

I want Pat Bruder to return too. I miss Ellen.

I don't think she HAS to return, I just think it would be nice for Lisa, and a nice tribute to Eileen Fulton. But Scott or Grant returning would be fine too.

My list of returns...dont want to sway this topic..but...lol

Meg Ryan....ummmm...yeah in a million years she'd return....lol....ok...I'll glady take Lyndsay Frost as Betsy. Betsy has to return for the finale.

Scott Defreitas....Andy

Larry Bryggman...John....for Lucinda.....so sweet it would be

Patricia Bruder....Ellen Stuart...another must return

Frank Runyeon ...as Steve Androplous

Lisa Brown ...as Iva Synder

Martha Bryne as Lily.........cant see this show ending without her...but doubt she will return

Id love to see Andrew Kavovit and Melanie Smith back as Paul and Emily...no way in hell that is happening but I can wish for it.

Oh and how could I forget Lyla Peretti......

Oh and Scott Bryce as Craig...fat chance there.....[!@#$%^&*] you Goutman.....on that one and Martha!

Of those who would return or who would even be asked, I'd like to see:

Lisa Brown/Iva.

Anne Sward/Lyla -- three of her children are on the show and her daughter is recently widowed and raising a newborn, how is she not there??

Larry Bryggman/John (I know he left on bad terms but I hope he might at least return to help say goodbye to Lucinda, or for some final scenes with "Andrew" and Kim and Bob)

Tamara Tunie/Jessica and Michael Swan/Duncan (I'd love to see her reunite with Duncan, although I know the show probably doesn't care about that...I'm selfish, I still want that)

Rosemary Prinz/Penny (she's still a firebrand and still acting, and still lives in that area, and has returned several times -- why not just for one or two days?)

Just for a Snyder goodbye, Steve Bassett/Seth, Alice Haining/Angel, Susan Marie Snyder/Julie, and for old time's sake, I guess Graham Winton/Caleb, or if they remember her, Ellie. Aaron too I guess.

I want to see Patrick Tovatt as Cal one last time. He can propose to Emma and they can leave her answer unresolved.

Pat Bruder/Ellen

Scott Defrietas/Andy

Edited February 28, 201015 yr by CarlD2

I am sure Rosemary Prinz will be back.

I'd love to see Hugh Napier return as Gunner Stenbeck...for Barbara...love to see him very much alive! But it looks like the awful writing for Babs has her going the Henry route....ewwwwww....ugh!!

I had heard speculation about this...I so hope it is true because I stopped watching ATWT when she left. It would be the only reason why I would tune back in...just to see Frannie/Sabrina one last time. Gosh those were the days when ATWT were really good.

When Goutman ended AW, I don't recall him bringing any of the former actors back, well, except for Sam Groom (ex-Russ) in a totally different role. He's probably only going for Moore because she's a famous alum. Having said that, it might not be totally unrealistic to see Scott DeFreitas, Lisa Brown, Tamara Tunie, and Rosemary Prinz back. Other than that, I can't see who else would return. Bryggman burned his bridges with the show and never saw it as anything other than a paycheck to support him while he did theatre. Martha Byrne isn't coming back. There's no love lost between her and Goutman and would be disrespectful to Noelle Beck. Patsy Bruder and Steve Bassett? Would many current viewers even know who Ellen and Seth are? I think they'll spend the time bringing closure to the current crop of characters and their stories rather than taking the time to reintroduce characters and have to explain to the audience just who they are.

Seth has returned every time Holden is presumed dead. The last time was last fall. So they know who he is, although Holden might have to bite it again.

I know what you're saying though. I have no real faith that Goutman will bring anyone back. That's why I will be happy with anyone. I guess it depends on the idea of a vet. I'm sure they might think bringing back Gwen and Will means a vet.

It's a damn shame that Goutman F U C K E D it up with Martha Byrne. It will be a travesty NOT to see her at the end of ATWT run. Ditto for Scott Bryce...especially when ATWT had him in the role....a big UGH!!

LOL. Julianne Moore returns, but Lily is still played by Noelle Beck?!

No one holds a grudge like Chris Goutman.
