Don't get me wrong - SHARON should be the one who makes the decision to stay away from Adam. The way the writers have twisted her up it's ridiculous - I consider the lowest point - marrying Aunt Jack (just gross). My point was that Nick doesn't need to hold Faith over Sharon's head - this should just be a basic instinct for a woman who had her child ripped from her. However, being a soap, IF they are bent on Shadam, then I'd rather have Sharon struggle with her own conscious/desires (we all can relate to being attracted to someone who is not so good for us), rather than an ultimatum from an ex-HUSBAND who abandoned her for another woman after her daughter died.

Oh, and how about Victor calling Adam a SOB. Hello? Is he really calling Hope a b*tch? Once again, the writers are just not thinking. it may be an expression, but Victor would NEVER degrade Hope's memory would such a callous comment. You would think that Victor would be doing everything in his power to help Adam - by encouraging him - since of all his children - Victor Jr. is not only he closest clone, but achieved something he didn't have the opportunity to do: get educated + Wall Street. (His other two older kids rejected all the opportunities because they were too busy being impulsive and immature. - And, I think we can definitely agree that's STILL the case with Nick and AH's Victoria.)

Glad I got that off my chest. LOL

Finally caught up and saw the Nikki episode...BEAUTIFUL. I loved it.

I wish they'd bring Casey back though, really. I feel like there was some reason though why the original actress never returns...but who would you like to see play Casey if they brought her back?

My first thought was Catherine Hickland - but she is too young, and I don't know if she could convincingly play MTS' OLDER sister. What about Ilene Kristen? Any other suggestions?

Ilene Kristen would be interesting and it would be a nice change of pace for her. But the actress who plays Casey has returned several times over the years. I have the episodes where she returned in 1998 on DVD. I bet it's more a case of them not asking. Starting with Latham it seems like Y&R doesn't LIKE bringing older actors back. When stunt casting is your goal, it's better to recast.

And that there in lies in the problem; you have to have good writing and brains to tell a story. Yes Adam should have been a complicated antagonist f or his family as he really is the one most like Victor but being Hope's son he should always have redeeming qualities. Instead MAB/Sheffer/Hamner, the idiots they are thought it would be neat if Adam became a dark twisted super villain. Well that blew up in their faces and Michael Muhney ended up coming back to the show. Since then Adam's been in a corner, not salvageable at all. They've tried writing him as an anti-hero but its been a colossal failure.

As for Sharon, well I think Sharon should have been written off with Sam last month. No offense to actress Sharon Case, but the character is done and we shouldn't even have to watch Shadam version 3.0. The show had the perfect opportunity to cut some losses since they let Sean Patrick Flannery go, they could have easily written Sharon off into the sunset with Sam. I would have been perfectly fine with that. As for Sharon Case, I could easily see Brad Bell casting her as some long lost Logan cousin or as Kristen Forrester.

I know she's returned several times, but for some reason I thought after the last time, I thought she had a falling out with MTS that prevented her from coming back. Maybe I made that up....

I think Ilene would be good in the role. You should but the 1998 episodes on YouTube. I'd LOVE to see them again.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
