Robin Thomas may have been a decent-enough actor, but Mark Singleton had a "non-essential, extraneous supporting player" vibe about him. He never should have been considered as a romantic partner for a legendary leading lady like Alice.
JC had had obvious chemistry with actor Tom Fuccello, when they appeared together on OLTL. He was charming, affable and sexy, and really clicked with Courtney on screen. If AW insisted on keeping Alice and Mark Singleton as a couple, they should cast Fuccello in that role.
If AW wanted to resurrect Steve Frame, they should have had Jacquie Courtney on board first. A dynamic David Canary might have shown some sparks with JC, but Linda Borgenson was dull as dishwater, and the entire back-from-the-dead saga for Steve was an unmitigated flop.
Since Steve was not a possibility, AW could have had Alice reenter Mac's orbit in some capacity, if only to get under Rachel's skin.
Probably the only other option available to them would have been to hire a magnetic leading man for her, and hope for the best.
