According to SOD Janice Lynde who originated Leslie Brooks will be making a return as the pianist in several episodes for mid October. Too bad she isn't bringing her son Brooks to the canvas...

That's great news. I wonder if this is what JLB was asked to return for a while back. I just hope they won't kill Leslie off. They are so lucky that Janice Lynde is still alive and well and willing to participate.

I wonder is she going to be playing the piano for some event?

I'm pleasantly surprised that those mentions actually amounted to something! 

Thanks for posting @Errol   

What/where is the set in that picture?

Remember Nikki and Victor were going to see Leslie's piano concert when they were visiting Italy during a recent month. (I don't know if they saw her or not, but that was the plan.).  That established that Leslie was in Italy at that time.  I don't remember if they said Leslie was touring the world, or living in Italy?

At any rate, that established that Leslie had been in Italy (and might still be there?)  If Victoria and Ashland go through with their planned wedding in Tuscany, then maybe Leslie plays at the reception?

Just after watching today’s episode I do wonder if Ashland is suppose to be Brooks Prentiss? 

Lol I was about to say they'll probably bring her back to play piano at someone's wedding, and jane nails it.

I got a feeling too. Too bad this wasn't revealed as he took Newman from Victor and the Newman's. Like Victor took Prentiss from his father/family forty years ago.

That would have been way more interesting as well. I wonder if the show has reached out to JLB at all? That would make the story much more impactful. Then have Eric McCook guest on Y&R as Lance 😂

This is great news!! 😁😁 

 

I would love the idea of Ashland being Brooks Prentis (although he might be a little too old??)  to further tie Leslie back in the canvas, but it’s probably just gonna be her returning to perform at the wedding. 
 

i wonder if the show would reach out to Trish Stewart or Pam Peters to come back as Chris and Peggy, if neither actress has retired. 

If Ashland is Brooks...he's too old to be him.

Like I said in the news thread, will be very nice to see her. I'm glad they bothered, truthfully.

Billy should be in his 30s  and Brooks should be in his late 40s not in his mid 60s.

Good news!

She's 10 years old than Richard Burgi, but in that photo she looks like she's the same age, so playing his mother would be a stretch, not that they wouldn't do it.
