I don't believe MBE was ever on contract at ATWT (If I am wrong about that, please let me know). So without having the actor on contract, it always seemed to me TPTB were reluctant to write any stories for her. She seemed to come and go for short periods for the better part of a decade, but only as a supporting character -- as most non-contract players did at that time. MBE played a more mature Sierra with more self-confidence than the character had displayed under Finn Carter, and I enjoyed MBE very much in the role. Plus she had chemistry with Liz Hubbard, Martha Byrne, and especially Hunt Block. MBE's Sierra didn't take any crap from Craig, and had no patience for Craig's return to being a cad.
MBE would have also made an interesting Betsy Stuart Andropolis recast. But there would have been no reason to bring back Betsy unless the actor was on contract. And I don't believe MBE was interested in a contract role in New York. Again, if I am mistaken about MBE never having a contract at ATWT, let me know.
