I really liked Reva when she was working at the hospital, and then at the Journal and she was buddies with Fletch (the only time I found him tolerable) and interacting with people outside the Lewis family and it wasnt just about her great love..though of course we had Kyle mooning over her. She just was more well rounded and seemed to tone it down with others (which reminds me of a scene she had with PS when he came back..Zimmer is trying her usual tricks but Simon doesn't rise to her usual overacting and she brings it back to down to meet him and its quite good.) A facet of the Annie story could have been Reva trying to find her place again..in her family, with her kids (they wrote them WAY too normal) and I would have the kids leaning towards Annie. And I would do a story (which Kim would not tolerate) of Reva dealing with being an aging woman...you really can blame Kimmer for her on camera OTT and her fanning her fans fire..soaps don't treat anyone over 40 well and while Kim was very attractive still she was not sex on a stick Reva from 1984.
When Maeve returned after Van's death, I had wanted an Alan (with a new actor) Van pairing. Knocking ***t out of the ring, Alan is turned on by this elegant woman who does not take his crap and is more then a match when she wants to be ruthless (I would have tossed sighing in love Van out the window when she returned.)
They were considering older actresses, but I think they felt that there were so many on the canvas that age already they went with younger which did not work. I love Poser as well and wish she had been brought back as Victoria's daughter, though realize having a white woman play a mixed race character might not go over well...(was Victoria's husband white as well?)
