GH Vet set to make a Return Appearance

[Cheap21]

Just saw this spoiler. Leslie Charleson is set to return as Monica soon

[soapfave06]

I'm happy she'll be back but I figured it would be connected to this contamination storyline since she's Chief of Staff.

[Mr. Vixen]

Was she ever technically gone though? They just redid the bios on ABC.com and she was still included. So I assumed she was just still a "recurring" cast member that never gets airtime.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Really thought it was going to be Audrey Hardy or at least Barbara Jean.

[MrQuartermaine]

I know John Ingle (Edward) was at the studio with Leslie too. Don't know if he actually filmed anything or just visited.

[frequentsoapfan]

I knew it wouldn't be Audrey sicne Liz is now just another resident and they gave away the name Tommy Jr to Molly's teen boyfriend.

[soapfave06]

I love Monica, but I would've loved to see Audrey or Bobbie again, even Lesley. I doubt that will ever happen again though.

[KMan101]

It probably would when/if GH ended. That's likely the best chance for Audrey and I guess even Bobbie, seems Zeman blew the show off to vacation, right after losing her house. I get they weren't offering her a concrete offer to come back but it sounded like they were willing to use her, or wanted to ... anyway ... why aren't we seeing Monica and Felicia? Is the budget that bad they can't use them at least a few times a month?

[Cheap21]

I read that Monica's lack of appearance was punishment on the new regime on LC for some disagreement this past spring. I dont remember the details but a poster who seemed to have some insider info shed light on that. It involved her being replaced in a Q mansion seen between Jason and Monica with Michael.

[Mr. Vixen]

That's not how it happened. Jackie got a call from the manager at the show, who told her she was in the breakdowns. (The breakdowns are basically a list of the sets/actors/characters that will appear in each episode, scene by scene. Wasn't sure if you'd know that, I wasn't totally sure myself at first!) Well, Jackie was already out of town, so she called Frank to see what was happening. He told her that they weren't planning on calling her anyway, even though she was in the breakdowns, because they "only wanted to use her if there was a story to tell". So no, Jackie didn't blow the show off.

[dragonflies]

Bobbie should be used now cause her granddaughter nearly died and her daughter could die as could alot of her friends.

[Mr. Vixen]

Right? And in all this time Carly never even mentioned worrying about or at least calling Bobbie?

[soapfave06]

It would've been nice for them to address Jerry and Bobbie's past as well. He loved her just as much if not more than Alexis, unless I'm remembering incorrectly. I think they said she left town for good though.

[MrQuartermaine]

Right. You may recall an episode where Michael comforts Jason on the day of Sam's baby's funeral. Well, that episode was originally filmed with Leslie Charleson in it, not Chad Duell. The press release was out, as were the episode stills. At the very last minute, & unknown to Leslie, the episode was reshot with Chad Duell. She was furious & when she confronted Frank about it, they got into a HUGE arguement. They both said things that they shouldn't have, and now they've made peace.

I don't blame LC for getting angry with FV, and I'd say that even if he weren't FV.
