I dont see RC having any use for a character like Jenny post-2008.

[soapfave06]

Well, that sure is true. I can only imagine what he would do to her when I think of what became of Pamela Oliver and especially Marty Saybrooke.

[DRW50]

They should have had Viki, Bo, etc. go look for Jenny in one last big adventure.

That photo of Kevin's "eww" at Dorian/Mel always kind of gets to me - maybe because it makes me wonder if he thought she was taking a dump. Robin looked phenomenal though.

[Cheap21]

Or Irene Manning. Post 2008 is just in time for Rex's m/paternity drama. RC would reveal her as Rex's mother having cheated on David with Mitch before she left town. Edited January 9, 2012 by Cheap21

Why exactly did she decline a return in 1998? I never knew she was invited back.

[DRW50]

She didn't want to take the spotlight from Michael Zaslow.

[soapfave06]

Brynn declined to come back because she wanted the story to focus on Michael Zaslow's David.

[Cheap21]

did David get an onscreen funeral?

[DRW50]

No. He was never mentioned as passing away. At the time some said this was a request from Zaslow's family, who wanted people to think David was living on, fighting.

[Cheap21]

How did they write him out then?

[DRW50]

I think he just was never mentioned again. They dumped Laura Koffman (who had played his daughter), so it was easy for them to just move on.

[SFK]

Even though we saw how ill he was, his passing was unexpectedly sudden. I loved that they brought him back, but I wasn't a fan of the Jenny being lost in an avalanche thing. I had no idea Brynn turned down the chance to return, that doesn't really make sense to me. The focus would still be on Michael and his wife's involvement would be a wonderful added dimension. Oh well, she was his dear friend so I respect whatever her reasoning was, her heart was surely in the right place.

[DRW50]

I wonder what the timing was - OLTL killed her off and had him severely injured; this was in fall 1997, wasn't it? Or summer 1997? Did they know they were already bringing Michael back?

2-2-1982 Digest. I don't seem to have the last of this.

Thank you CarlD. I only had seen one photo before of Christine playing Viki. Nobody can play Viki like Erika Slezak...never! but i think Christine wasn't a bad choice casting. Even as up to 2008 when she came back for the Jared Banks storyline, she aged pretty well. I saw Gillian Spencer at the AMC funeral for Palmer Cortland and i still can't really picture her playing proper Victoria Lord today. she was much better as the more fun Dasiy Courtland. Although it would have been a hoot if she had temporaly played Viki when Erika had the back surgery a couple of years ago.

Erika was pregnant twice, who played Viki the first time? I know they let her show her pregnancy on the air and made Viki pregnant with Joey at the time. but i don't know who played her during her maturnity leave.
