She's Shiloh's mother?

Oh good it's a flashback. I thought they'd brought this old bÌtch back from the dead.

I'm glad too. I don't hate Helena/CT but she really should have stayed dead after Luke shot her on The Haunted Star.

I actually hate Helena and would love for her to be gone forever.  Eh, but I have not watched in months, so whatever!

Constance Towers looks fabulous as usual though. 

 

But yeah, how ridiculous was it that this old woman literally terrorized an entire town for years?  

My god the woman's nearly 90.  I want to know the name of her cosmetic dermatologist!

The Cassadine returns arc was fantastic when it started.  I think Helena should have been disposed of in some dramatic fashion once the brainwashed Lucky story came to a conclusion (that whole story should have been better), and that was it.

 

She skulked around for way too long making idle threats and never being the actual threat.  Lucky didn’t die in the fire (which was Faison working for her anyway), Laura went crazy but she had nothing to do with it.  Emily died but again- not by Helena’s hand.  Alexis’ sister Kristina was killed by the mob- not Helena.  Courtney was killed by the virus, not Helena.  Hell the virus and the Metro Court hostage situation were not her.

 

Love the actress, but Luke or (preferably) Laura should have done her in ages ago and been done with it.

 

 

I was thinking of Constance Towers yesterday and wondered how she'd rebounded from the death of her husband, American Ambassador to Mexico John Gavin in 2018. It's good to see her onscreen.

She is so regal. I always thought she would have fit in well on Y&R in a grande dame role that wasn’t as forgettable as Audrey North.

Wasn't she supposed to die at the culmination of the "Endgame" story in 2001, but it all had to be rewritten because the story was deemed too dark in the aftermath of 9/11?
