It's pathetic that they have to bringing back these long gone favorites just for one final Rylee pimp, BUT, I liked Gillian a lot and I can't wait to see her again. I just wish they could bring back Meg Mundy too.

Now CM's comments maken sense. He said when he heard Josh Duhamel was going to be coming back he pictched an idea to LB and JHC. Initially they were not going to do what he pitched but then they changed their minds and decided to do it.

He gave the impression what he pitched was Leo-related but probably Leo's return gave him the Gillian idea.

Interesting since CM has trivialized Gillian's importance in Ryan;s life in recent years.

Other than Zach, everyone of these people mentioned was connected to David in some way... But that aside, we don't even know the nature of Gillian's return yet (flashback or resurrection), and we haven't seen it play out. Of course, the usual suspects are jumping all over how much they "hate" all of this... but like JR to a bottle of liquor, they just keep drinking the contents!

I see nothing wrong with bringing back a character as long as it plays out organically in the story (and doesn't feel like it's driven a splitting wedge through everything). So far, most everything we've seen on-screen - including things some people were previously himming-and-hawwing about - has played out beautifully. I'll reserve judgment of how Gillian's return is played - and Leo's, and Zach's - until we see it. Until then, this is nothing short of good news for the fans of those characters.

I know I'm in the minority but I feel like Dixie's return actually has driven a splitting wedge through everthing. All of a sudden, out of nowhere people are talking about her and obsessing about her, then Tad throwing that memorial service for her just seems really forced to me.

I have to believe Gillian will be a dream. After all they harvested her heart for Laura English. It would suck to have Gillian alive again just as Brooke comes back to town. That would create more questions than the show has time to answer. JMHO.

I think Dixie's return suffers from being rushed from the original plans, since they were bringing her back pre-cancellation and had a long term story written out (presumably).

The short term returns may not be as forced.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
