BOLD: New Forrester cast & another returning

[Soapsuds]

Ivy is a throw away character. There's no reason for her to return for the third time.

Bradley is such a hack writer who's run out of ideas.

I have a feeling Ivy was axed the second time and brought back after Bradley had no fresh story ideas.

The show's new Coco Spectra.

And there's a 99% chance Maitland Ward will not be back. 

I know she did not leave with Dylan but they may as well bring Dylan Neal back to give some sort of continuity. 

I guess they at least remembered a former Forrester, but there's not much point here.

Well...Liam gotta have a love life.

I wonder if Electra is gonna turn out to be Dylan’s daughter too.

Heheh. I would say NOPE. Brad Bell on the hand...

I mentioned recently that really Budig should just been cast as a returning Jessica Forrester instead of playing Taylor, so this Electra thing is an odd twist.

The Vine had came back already in May and Thudley did NOTHING with her so why is she back again?

[slick jones]

Welp, there's always Steffy's sister Taylor I mean mother...

An Electra complex is when a woman has creepy sexual thoughts about her father, so it fits with this show.

I've never understood why they keep ignoring Jessica and Maggie in all of this. Even if they have to recast Jessica, I'd still bring her back. Maggie would also make more sense introducing this character, but this is obviously another last minute thrown together mess from Brad.

I would love to see Maggie again just to see her face off with Sheila again! I wonder if Crampton was even asked or if she just knows to just stay away lol.

The only role of Barbara Crampton that matters is Y&R Leanna. Her runs on GL (granted I didn't watch in real time, I only saw part of it online) and B&B were thankless and wasted her talent.

So true.

Her run as Mindy was okay, miles ahead of her dreadful predecessor Ann Hamilton, but definitely nowhere close to Krista and Kimberly.

I did find it odd that BC and VI had a Nick and Mindy reunion on Y&R in January 2007 when Leanna randomly returned to interview David Chow about Carmen’s murder for a couple of episodes. Given the state of both GL and Y&R at that time heck I would’ve preferred both on GL just for the 70th anniversary as opposed to the Carmen/Ines doppelgänger crap. 

Maggie started out rough with that ridiculous trashy triangle with her sleeping with Dylan while he was on the outs with Jessica or something. She had a spark with Connor but Thudley just never used Connor to his full potential. Once Maggie married James and adopted Mary it was on. The famous fire-poker catfight between Maggie and Sheila and then Maggie becoming both emotionally and mentally unmoored herself in late ‘97 and early ‘98 was actually well received and acclaimed at the time, but these days is largely forgotten and ignored. 

SOD even made reference to Maggie’s fate here:
