This is for Martha Madison right?....sorry nothing is showing up on the page, unless it's suppose to be like that?

I was still sort of hoping they would "borrow" Kirsten Storms...

she confirmed on her talk show!

back on contract...first airdate Nov 25

LOL. Who you talking about? I mean, I know already, but...LOL ;-))

Glad to see they're finally bringing on Marlena's mother from Colorado.

OMG LOL

I've always liked Martha. I'm glad she's back! Now bring back JKJ/Philip. They had a lot of chemistry.

That reminds me of those cringey "fantasy" sequences. Bleh.

I don't have a strong opinion on Belle and I'm certainly happy to give her another chance. Please just no more NSA-in-training brittle asexuality.

Someone please edit the first post because I almost threw this laptop across the f!cking room trying to figure out who it was supposed to be.

Are people really hung up on that, seriously, wow

We sure are! Since 2004! The woman looks old as hell.

That's how I feel. A familiar face is better than someone new to get used to. I can appreciate that, unlike B&B or Y&R who's always recasting legacy children (B&B's Thomas being the latest). She's not the greatest, and she's not the original adult version, but she's not awful and she's someone we already know.

And it's not this:

As much as I'd love to make some new classic moments...

Christ Almighty, she returns on November 25th? I'm assuming 2015?

Love her. She's a bit too old for Belle but whatever. I don't care. I like her and she made me love Belle, after suffering through the Kirsten Storms version. I much prefer Storms on GH as Maxie.

REJOICING!! I have missed Shawn and Belle since they left in 2008. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Days spent YEARS building up "the next generation" Shawn, belle, Phillip, Chloe, Brady... And then (for the most part) they were dumped and ever since we've had the revolving door of young adults ALL of whom leave after their contracts are up... Chelsea, Nathan, Melanie, Stephanie... I've said a thousand times why NOT invest in Martha Madison - a woman who has proven that she loves soaps and loves this show and I highly doubt she would bolt after her contract - AND she (along with Shawn) are PURE LEGACY CHARACTERS for days in the most needed demographic! Whew! End of rant and I can not wait to see these back on my screen! Let's rev up out engines to get another renewal to 2018!

I think they were more invested in the (original) actors than the characters in that group. The characters ended up being pretty [!@#$%^&*] long-term, thanks to years of plot-point writing. I can see why the show wanted to move on, even if it didn't really work out for them for a variety of reasons.

I preferred KS (and especially her chemistry with JC), but I am thrilled to have Belle (and Shawn!) back. The son of Bo and Hope and the daughter of John and Marlena -- these two should definitely be on the show.

Unfortunately the concerns about her seeming too old are unlikely to be any less true this time around considering they are giving them a 15-year-old daughter. As I've said before I wish they would have instead de-SORAS'd Claire to make her a young child as so not to age Shawn and Belle so much. They should be around 30 but what can ya do.

Fantastic news. Happy to have some semblance of the Days I knew and loved coming back.

And I was going to make a joke about all of you really wanting Charity Rahmer to return, but someone beat me to it! lol

I like Martha, so I'm glad to see her return.

Good she's awesome

Ah well, welcome back...

The best work she ever did was when Claire was kidnapped and Belle, Shawn and Phillip ended up at some baby pageant and Belle went off on the person hiding Claire.
