Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Sorry, but it’s a no for me. As much as I like Pettiford, I am not digging this, she should be playing a new character. There’s absolutely no reason to bring back the character, as 90% of the characters she interacted with aren’t even on the show anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Am I wrong, or didn't Stephanie E. Williams take over HER role on OLTL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Is there a reason they couldn't have gotten Stephanie Williams? It's a pass for me too! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 (edited) Oh, now this is wild. I remember Stephanie Williams taking over as Sheila on OLTL! It was never the same, Valarie was so good in the role. I feel bad for SW. This seems weirdly punitive lol.

Members MichaelGL Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 This is random. But then again look at who's running the show.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Maybe Josh took the Sheila recast personally, lol. So strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Once again Y&R seems to have issues with how they bring in legendary black talent. I am glad Valerie is joining the show but why Amy? I really liked Amy, but what is she going to be without Nathan, Paul or Andy? They likely are not bringing back Tyrone or Jazz either. Did she even have any other relationships on the show? Is this going to be a retcon where we find out she had a child with Neil? There was something special about Stephanie Williams as Amy. I don't think she ever really fit in on OLTL (not helped by the complete lack of interest the show had in her) but she clicked on Y&R. I'm sorry if the show sees her work as so irrelevant. If she declined to return, they should have left the role retired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 (edited) That's what I thought! So glad I'm not the only one who remembered that, lol! I agree. What's next? Harrison Ford joins the show as Jed Andrews? (IYKYK, lol). Edited September 18, 2024 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 I know right. And given how much of a chore it is getting to watch...what could be happening for November Sweeps that she would be back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
