Not bringing back Brad Maule would be an egregious mistake. If anyone should lead Bobbie to heaven (if we go that corny route) it's Tony, the man who was her best friend and husband of almost ten years.

They should bring back Sam Behrens as Jake and AJ Martinez as Roy. And there's no good reason JJ shouldn't return as Lucky. Frank's ego is not a good reason.

Brad Maule, Sarah Joy Brown, and Tony Geary were her definitive scene partners. They deserve to be part of any docu-style tribute in her honor and barring serious scheduling difficulties, it would be an oversight not to try to include them.

What about Terry (Robyn Bernard), Bobbie's stepdaughter? Has she been mentioned at all after she left? She was a very prominent character during the period that aired here.

I don't think she was ever mentioned again.

No, last time I checked, Terry was still crying about what had happened to her back in Laurelton and refusing to tell anyone about it.

I would love to see him, but I struggle to think of how it would work unless it's a visitation to Lucas or one of their friends like Felicia, Lucy, etc. Also it would be slightly awkward for me, because what is Ghost Tony gonna say about where Bobbie's spirit is along with his own? "Yeah, I got her in the car?" "She's on line with the Bureau of the Recently Deceased?"

I don't know. If you can bring back the other Carlys you can bring back Tony. Make it work, Frank.

Considering BJ, having Brad Maule as Tony say something like our daughter wants to see you, and of course we don’t see Jackie, but we see grown up BJ with Tony.. now that may be cheesy, but I would cry…

I could see it working along the lines of the visits Anna and Robert made to Robin when Stone was dying. 

That would be fine.

I also thought of them bringing back the adult B.J. for it.

I thought Ron Carlivati wasn't writing this show anymore.

I am fine with just doing a docu-style tribute to Jackie with her closest friends and cast members sharing their favorite stories and memories of her. GH can air it as a special episode as Y&R did for Jeanne and Kristoff. 
 

I feel like ghostly appearances are divisive and can come off as incredibly hokey. Since the woman died in real life, I don’t think her character deserves that. I’d rather Brad Maule appear in that docu-style special episode and share his memories.

What a wonderful tribute. It is a small comfort to know that if you are a truly good person you might be remembered the way Jackie is being remembered.

Has any comment from Lynn Herring been released?

She's mostly RT'ed other people's remarks, but there's this:

This wonderful picture I'd never seen cropped up:

I do think she should be at least mentioned, it would be a nice touch. It's surprising to me those characters Bobbie had deeply involved in her life back then in that era have almost never come up. I did see a brief allusion (I think) to her losing custody of those foster kids in a '93 ep when Bobbie gains custody of Lucas and tells Tiffany she's been there.
