there is no character on OLTL called CJ Holden. Now there is a CJ Roberts

Oh now you're just being pedantic You knew who was meant.

Well, they did intend to bring him back at least once or twice in the last ten years. But yes, when everyone these days (or in the last five years) assumes any white male under 40 coming to OLTL is C.J. - I just don't think that's going to happen. (And his name is Roberts.)

Right, and the point stands--that sometimes it's just as lazy, and bad for the show longterm to always bring back past characters. Especially when, as would be IMHO the case if Lanie returned in Jane's place, she's essentially just Lanie in name only. It's Carlivati-syndrome.

I'd rather not see Krystal give BJ's ever again.

that makes you wonder, who will be the first character to give and/or receive a BJ on this reboot?

OLTL already won with random Shelter guy.

Well, of course. When people talk about just bringing back Lanie, or Jimmy Lee and Celia on GH to shore up the Quartermaines my eyes just glaze over. (I wouldn't mind their kids or something, but really, it's not a priority in 2013.)

With C.J. and Sarah I made exceptions because they've had, at different times, vital ties to the modern canvas - Cord and Tina have been back, and Sarah has been on and off throughout the 2000s - but right now I'm not sure how that would work.

My mistake. I can't believe I said something so unbelievable. I must've confused gay/straight/bisexual/asexual CJ with died needlessly/heaven can wait/Michael McBain/ Al Holden.

I'll change the name to the "CJ Unicorn Syndrome."

LOVE. I AM DEAD ON THE FLOOR. CJ is the last unicorn. And I like Jane- she reminds me of those comfortable tertiary characters that have fallen by the wayside in the budget cut years. And if they give her bigger story later, it won't be all that ohmygod who is this new person they are shoving down our throats, death to newbies, core core core ish.

Precisely. It's been a while since they've one that (Milo being bumped to love interest status on GH does NOT count.)

Cassandra (and no, not willingly). Trust.
