Screencap of the "like"  https://i.postimg.cc/qqQgrLd5/fa5f.png


*if* (and only if) Susan Walters is returning....

For the character of Diane on soapcentral,
there are 22 paragraphs about her death investigation plus 12 bullet points.
She was found floating in a river, and they ruled that she died from getting her head bashed in, and then they discovered that she had been injected with a drug that causes shortterm paralysis.  There were two autopsies!
https://www.soapcentral.com/young-and-restless/whoswho/diane.php

Diane's plan was to send Kyle to boarding school in Switzerland, and then to fake her death so that someone would be blamed for it, then she would secretly escape and leave town.  She would secretly find her way to Switzerland and retrieve Kyle and go live with him in secret somewhere.  It was an elaborate plan (detailed in that soapcentral bio).  She had accomplices to help her.

I cannot believe that she would have survived the faking of her death, but never reconnected with Kyle.  She loved Kyle.   Maybe she was sick, injured, had amnesia, etc, and could not get to Kyle?

How are they going to explain her being alive after two autopsies?  Did she pay off the medical examiner to say the body in the river was hers?  Did she have a body double or twin who died in her place?

Another option would be that Diane really did die way back when.  And Susan Walters is playing someone who looks like Diane?

But this is *if* (and only if) Susan Walters is returning.

Okay, I'll play along.

Perhaps if someone extremely rich and powerful was able to intercept a dying Diane and gradually restore her to health. Bonus points, if that person is a mutual adversary of both Jack and Victor. If Kyle were actually still a factor on this show, they could lure him toward his mother without giving a hint to Jack, Victor or anyone in GC.  If you're going to write an audacious soap opera story, at least give a good payoff by the end.

A casting call went out to recast Summer for a contract position.  Haven't heard anything about Kyle but with Summer returning and Kyle's cousin Allie arriving, it seems likely that we'll get Kyle for a while - either Mealor or someone new.

Agree.  And it doesn't matter if CBS or Sony or both are interfering with Josh Griffith and Tony Morina's plans.  (That is, if they HAVE plans.) Josh and Tony's names are on this crap, so they're the ones who should be held responsible.

Please let it be someone new.  And please don't let the mystery woman be Patty.  That last one cannot be said enough.

You mean, besides making voodoo dolls of everyone at Y&R who hates her?

All I see is actors talking to each other.

Why bring Summer back? She has never popped! They won't write for her.

And why do we want fan favorites back when they do nothing with the cast they have already.....

    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
