That's the reason you could never get into LOST?!!

It's probably a dayplayer role for 3 episodes, so I wouldn't get too excited.

Watros is wonderful though, and probably carried GL on her back in 1997.

I kind of want to tune in since I loved her as Libby, but the storyline involving her is just too horrid for my taste. No thank you.

Anybody think that, with the rumors of her character being in the medical profession, Watros might be Sheila Carter with plastic surgery (again)?

Would be a tad ironic since Signy Coleman played Annie after plastic surgery on Guiding Light in 1999.

They would be wise to use her in a psychotic role... though Y&R has had a nasty habit of showcasing short-term psychos in recent years.

Just give her some good material. That's all I ask. And put her in the orbit of interesting characters. (Is this all asking too much?)

Did everybody forget that she was awesome on The Drew Carey Show?

No I haven't forgot her turn as Kelly but the show was pretty much over by then I think ABC stuck the show at some offbeat time in the summers for those last three seasons so it's been forgotten.

Watros was unforgettable on GL and carried the show at least from the fall of '96 with her and Phillip in that cabin to her spectacular exit jumping out of an airplane leaving Reva to die. I doubt she was a friend of Phelps as Phelps was on her way out by then aside from the ghost Reva crapola.

The ultimate bad thing is that this probably continues the "name casting" that leads to nothingness as started under MAB but hasn't even ceased under JFP.

What I liked most about Watros' turn as psychotic Annie was that instead of going for outright camp, she often went for black humour instead. There was a real sincerity and vulnerability to her performances, which made it easier to root for Annie over Reva (even when the writing told you that you should do otherwise).

She deserved that Emmy so bad.

she'll be a pyscho

Or maybe even Patty. To explain the new face, the writers could go with car accident, fire, etc.

Rookie beats 4 veterans, probably the biggest upset in Daytime Emmy history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1adM8OfjVug

As previously reported, fan favorite Cynthia Watros (Annie, GL) makes her Y&R debut on Friday, November 15. The Emmy-winning actress describes her character, Kelly, as "a grieving mother who lost her son. She's in a support group and meets Billy (Billy Miller)," who's still grappling with the death of his beloved daughter, Delia

Hmmm... I'm liking the idea... IF she doesn't sleep with Billy to cure him of his mourning. IF.

Looks like Watros is sticking around longer.

If only they'd work better on giving Kelly a personality.

Ugh. What's the purpose of this? Watros is a great actress but there's nothing in her character so far that justifies giving her more story.

She should be one of those characters that come in, serve their purpose and leave.

i think we are i the beginning stages of a psycho being born... Billy will sleep w/ her out of grief, and then want to break things off, because 'i love my wife!!!'... and she won't have that, etc. Basically, what Phyllis/Nick were supposed to be, before they gained fan following and the PTB chickened out due to actor input.

I think they will pair her with Jack. That is her sole purpose in staying.
