Hell I forgot Billie came back this year! 😂😂😂

When “Stans” were saying she was coming back before, it was all rumors. She visited the set around the taping of the Christmas show for her daughter, Isabella, to appear and they took it as Nicole was back for Christmas with HER daughter, Holly.

It sure doesn't seem like it. I actually forget that at one point, Freddie Smith, Greg Vaughan, Camila Banus, etc. took a one-year hiatus or so. With the 6-month advanced taping schedule, you pretty much expect anyone who leaves to pop back in within the year. 

 

Similarly, I'm glad Brandon Beemer and Martha Madison are returning again (for an extended/contracted stay?), but they've popped in so many times since they officially left as contract players, they've basically recurred ever since.

Like I said, that's become DAYS' m.o.: bring back a whole bunch of former actors (whether we wanted them back or not); then, when the returns yield nothing in terms of ratings and buzz, send them away again (or worse, put them on off-contract status).

RC must feel very miserable writing for Days. Nobody is interested in thinking outside the box, nobody wants to have some fun with the characters. The problem is that Ken Corday and Sony think that they know exactly what the audience wants.

 

What is next? Austin and Carrie stop by for a visit. Tony/Andre is not dead. Sami briefly returns. Shawn and Kimberly briefly return. Billie shows up for a few episodes. A soap veteran is cast as a character with a name that belongs to a bad 90s Spelling soap and leaves after six months. By the time we read about it they are back.

True.  And when a HW or EP does deliver what they think we want, guess what happens?  That's right.  Ratings drop, and Ken and Sony (and NBC) put the blame on the newbie writer and/or producer.

 

Unfortunately, risk-taking usually translates into something cheap and wrong, like Marlena's demonic possession storyline, or the Salem Stalker, so I don't know what the answer to the dilemma might be.

    • Really?? You could have fooled me.  
    • [Swooon (with three letter o in the name) is a sister site to tvinsider.] May 16, 2025: Stephanie Sloane interviews Tracey Bregman and Christian LeBlanc regarding the Lauren/Michael romance. https://www.swooon.com/1192754/young-and-the-restless-michael-lauren-romance-christian-j-leblanc-tracey-bregman/ There is a video interview of 32:50 length, embedded within the article -- but it's hard to see unless you disable adblockers. Here's a copy of the same video without ads, but it's very slow-loading. It works fine once completely loaded. https://archive.org/details/6ri-7d-54w (I think this interview was done because there will be a little Lauren/Michael romance scene on May 21, 2025 episode.  But the interview isn't tied to that).
    • For the Duprees to be the core family, other non-Dupree characters have brought something more to the table than they have. The two daughters are both victims at this point. Vernon hasn't done a whole lot besides coddle Martin. And I'm not too sure about Anita's singing past being all that interesting either.

    • I actually stopped watching. I find the show really bad at the moment (or at least before I stopped, which was shortly after Sonia and Bianca's exit). And I just saw the overnight ratings for last week, quite bad, below 2 mil.  I don't like the nuMitchells all, I don't care about Avani and Joel, I hate what they have done to Kathy by making her an attempted murderer who is so chill about it, also she is pissed off at Cindy for cheating on Ian, yet she is enabling Harvey cheat on Jean, I don't like Peter and Lauren as a couple, she is always so toxic towards him, making Zach Barney's dad is such a lame decision and plot twist... I found Stacey vs Ruby in the end horrible for Stacey. Firstly she accoused Ruby of burning the stall, then when she learned it was Lily, she was bullying Ruby into not telling anyone and making Ruby leave the square with everyone thinking it was her who did it.. horrible look there for Stacey and Lily, who was such a brat there (I get she was going through a lot, but terrible mothering from Stacey there, to say: sure, you can commit arson, pin it on someone else and get away with it, if you're having tough time in your life). I still hate what they've done with Gina/Freddie/Anna, I think it ruined all three of them, the whole where George was during Cindy's attack was just forgotten, which is sloppy and I just didn't like Terry Cant's rushed return, that was such a let down which led to the rushed exit for Sonia.  So as you can see, I just don't like the show at all

    • LOL...who has time for college? They only went to half a semester, which wasn't really a problem for Mindy, Phillip or Beth. But no wonder Rick became known as Dr Death. 
    • Throwing it out there ... "He Plays the Violin" at Nurses Ball 2026.
