Hates a strong word. I ddint watch them back in the day but I cant stand the character of Noah and hated their interactions since he came back.They do nothing for me and I hated the idea of them reuniting. I really dont care to see Bobbie in a romance again (and definetly not with him). Im fine with her just returning in a supporting capacity, which she should have been utilized in anyway

I hope he does bring Bobbie out of the woodwork. The Noah/Anna thing should never have happened and its time Bobbie had a little closure with this guy. I don't remember Bobbie/Noah back in the day, but one scene between the two of them last go-around was enough to prove they had more chemistry in their baby fingers than all the forced stuff with Anna and the Rocker any day of the week.

Supposedly they wanted to bring Karen Wolek back, and Wanda Webb, both well known old characters, although the rumor also is that Karen's return would have been about Aubrey, the most pointless character ever on OLTL. Wanda couldn't return because the actress was making a film.

Other than that, most of their returns were brief, or poor, or both. Alex Olanov returned several times over the years for no apparent reason other than giving her useless long-lost children. Lindsay appeared a few times. Troy, a pointless return. Mitch had several bad returns. So did Allison Perkins. Tina returned twice, the first botched, the second was good but that seems to be because she couldn't stay long, since RC's plans for her sounded pretty questionable. Cord returned a few times. Max returned once, for no reason, then when he should have come back (at the end of the show), the actor wasn't asked.

Nathan Fillion's return as Joey was decent enough. I think he was back for a week.

Most of the major returns (Carlo, Marty, Kelly) were bad, or quickly fell apart (Todd), and the returns of Pamela and Lee were poor and cheap, ending with them being murdered and it being some type of weird joke. The returns of Powell, Rebecca, and Zach were lousy and managed to piss all over one of the show's most acclaimed storylines, and once again turned into weird camp.

Sometimes I'm sure they did have plans that were killed. For instance, the return of Cassie, Dorian's daughter, which I've seen praised, was essentially Cassie sitting on a plane, Cassie walking to the airplane toilet, and Cassie standing in a room with Dorian. Other than giving me a good laugh, and assuring me that Cassie has good bowels, I got nothing out of that.

Generally I'd be wary of any returns RC or FV are involved in.

I guess their most successful return was Tea. She was exactly the same character as she was in the late 90's, and they spent plenty of time building up her relationship with TSJ's Todd.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • 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.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
