Y&R is full of sh!t. It's there way of answering fans call for her return. But they got money for every white character though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted May 1, 2019 Members Share Posted May 1, 2019 One of Mal Young's worst moves among many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 1, 2019 Members Share Posted May 1, 2019 The show clearly regrets letting her go. Hell, I think I would accept some ridiculous retcon to bring Hilary back, even though her death was very final. Her loss was a blow to them because she was the ONE popular younger AND black character they created in god knows how many years, despite crap storytelling. I'd probably say JFP's biggest contribution to Y&R was casting Mishael during her stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm not sure whether it's that or Angelica regretting the reputation as the bad guy for being the exec who gutted Winters to bring on Rosales. It was personal for her wanting her own representation and it was personal for fans who loved that family. The way she was attacked had to hurt. And in the process we lost KSJ/Neil so the show can't even make it right. She probably just doesn't want that to be her legacy. This seems to be a compromise. Giving the fans Hilary/Hevon while still not committing to bringing her back like they should. If I didn't know better I'd think that they were keeping her memory alive so that when she returns to stop Devon's wedding to Elena (as Nate pines for Elena as heartbroken best man), it'll resonate. Oh wait, that's just the story I'd tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 This actually annoys me. I loved Hillary and Mishael as an actress, but giving me crumbs isn’t going to make me watch regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 If they want my respect for longer than a memorial week, they can actually offer her a contract to return from the dead along with Rowell. But they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 she's be back, imo. The show is setting up for a classic soapy "surprise" reveal by having Devon see Hillary when he looks at Valerie (what's her name on Y&R? lol) and using that as an excuse for MM to be on set.. When Devon and Valerie are getting married, or something, Hillary's gonna burst through the doors and interrupt everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 It's a way of trying to string along disaffected fans and get back those who have stopped watching since her departure. For ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 Pretty much this. It's stringing her fans along with hope of her return. They have no intention of bringing her back. The original idea was to use flash backs which is why the episode on the streaming app has flashbacks. Since she was already there for KSJs memorial, someone had the light bulb moment to insert her. Because Mishael has more class than CBS and Sony, she agreed to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 It’s like Alan Quartermaine all over again. They choose to fire him. Cast mates and the fans go berserk. The anger didn’t subside quickly enough. So in comes ghost Alan to argue with Tracy. Until he just slowly stopped appearing at all. Don’t kill everybody off, especially popular characters. They should have just given her another type of exit if they were not going to pay her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 Dealing with Hiliarys death re Devon, is a smart move on JGs part cuz Mal had no intentions of doing it And yeah, this isn't like DG, MM ain't coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 All y'all are right on the money. Hilary returning with Dru?!?! THAT would be a dream come true and if written correctly, one of those storylines that make people tune in again. It would be a hell of a lot more interesting than "Adam Isn't Dead Part XX".

Members Vee Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 Neil having kept them both alive and in care (with Dru in a coma for over a decade) would be a brilliant twist, so of course they won't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 I hope Mishael takes home that Emmy on Sunday, just as another way to stick it to these fools (and I think she deserves it, but admittedly haven't seen the other reels).
