It was rumored that John O' Hurley would join B&B in the mid-nineties.

Believe it or not Stephanie's sister "Lauren" had been mentioned in 1987.

Jessica's younger sister had been mentioned by Maggie Forrester when she first came to town.

The Forrester family tree is way too complicated; no room for "John's daughter".

You see why you don't kill off family members without any reason Brad? This should have been Phoebe.

Pam was originally called Lauren? Or was this someone else?

Was Jessica's sister mentioned by name?

During the Angela storyline in 1987, Stephanie lied to her family that she was visiting her sister Lauren in order to spend some time with her sick daughter.

When Maggie Forrester showed up she mentioned "Jessica's younger sister".

Tawney Moore also talked about Amber's younger sister whom we never saw.

So basically Bell wants Steffy but without JMW actually coming back, he invents Ivy and will probably write her just like Steffy. Oy.

They seriously recasted Steffy amd gave her a different name. Ready for deja vu?

LOL! Sounds about right. Won't be the least bit surprised.

Speaking of, is Steffy still showing up in the opening credits? I know they've made some changes somewhat recently but it seems she's still there.

yeah she's still in the opening which makes no sense. She hasn't been on contract in a year and has had only one appearance since last summer, this past December for a few episodes. She's not around enough to even be considered recurring.

Is it too late to suspect that ''Ivy'' is not just a look-a-like Steffy replacement but actually a Steffy recast?

She shot her first scenes in Paris (which is were Steffy is). + Ivy will be interesting in Liam...

They should just recast Steffy. JMW's shoes should not be that difficult to fill.

The last time they updated their opening was right when JMW briefly returned. I think they just don't want to give up hope for the audience or themselves. Meanwhile, Texas Battle is supposedly still considered part of the cast but he was edited out of the opening a long time ago.
