Well, news comes in threes, right? First Joanna Johnson, now Maureen Garrett, so Susan Flannery could be the next one.

I'd never read any speculation about Maureen the same way most of have about Joanna or Susan.

I'm hoping Y&R casts her as Phyllis and Avery's mother.

There's only one woman I'd want as Lydia Summers, and it's this lady:

Or, if not her, then this lady:

I could see either one being "married" to Ken Howard's George, as well as going toe-to-toe with MS' Phyllis while defending Jessica Collins' Avery. Plus, in my wildest dreams, we'd learn that Phyllis was actually George's daughter by another woman -- a juicy confrontation and reveal either actress (Donna or Susan) would rock.

Her sons are cute.
