The character that came to my mind was Logan Armstrong from The Young and The Restless from 2007, played by Deanna Russo. She was a doctor who had stumbled upon Nick after he survived the Newman Jet crash somewhere. (I believe Joshua Morrow was going through contract negotiations at the time.) Anyway, it seemed like they were chem-testing them, even though Nick was already in the love triangle with Sharon and Phyllis. She somehow got him back home to Genoa City, in which Nick had amnesia for some sometime. Eventually, they settled Logan with Brad for a brief romance, until she left town to go to Doctors Without Borders. I also read up on her backstory, which involved a dead husband and kids.

Yeah Joshua was.

Oh God, I recall Logan.

IIRC, there was some suggestion that somebody had rigged the Newman jet to crash, but it was all quickly forgotten.

I remember Logan, she had potential to be a long term character and she vibed well with Brad.. who was adrift as a character at that time.

Rafael Delgado (1999) - Introduced as Ashley's step brother (his mother was married to her biological father Brent Davis) who she had to bail out due to his possession of forged art work. He briefly came to Genoa City, was tested with Nina briefly before he had a brief dalliance with Victoria before he left town. I think part of the reason his character was dropped was due to Ashley being recast with Eileen Davidson and the show deciding to take her character in a different direction.

Yep. Like several stories at that I believe.

I was just wondering a few months ago how he was written out.

I do remember Eileen Davidson returning to reclaim her role though, coming out of the shadows fierce AF...very Kristen Dimera coded her re-entrance was. But I was busy with work, school, and life shortly thereafter.

Gabriela Moreno on the Bold and the Beautiful! Such a strong storyline for 2004 and it was like she was gone within a day I enjoyed her and Thomas

Debbie Morgan as devon's mom (yolanda/harmony) on Y&R. She was essentially new characters, going by a new name even. This was the height of cbs's period of poaching AMC actors for y&r. They even had a promo for her.

Y & R

Jed Sanders (1993 - 1994) - As played by Josh Taylor, he came to town as a red herring during a brief period where Nina was trying to find her father and he happened to have a scar in the same place as her father had. After some interactions between Nina/Jed, she brings him to her place and is disappointed when her mother Flo states he isn't her real father. After that happens, he remains on the show for awhile with a brief relationship with Nikki (lots of chemistry between the two) and also has a fling with Jill (lots of chemistry between the two)... and just as it looked like we might get a Jill/Nikki feud over this... he was quickly written off the show and Nikki went back to mooning over Victor while Jill ended up fighting John to either stay married or get divorced over the next two years.

Thanks for the correction and recap. It was an awful storyline and I probably snoozed through most of it. I was also in high school and probably only saw it here and there. This was also when Rosanna started eating the show. I was also surprised when Yvonne Perry won an award right out of the gate shortly after starting on ATWT.

I never knew she won any awards...she had a few little moments (she was good at wistful monologues), but that surprises me.

I was also mentally checking out of ATWT at this time, and I also had school. My main memory of this story was Ned Simon dropping dead in the snow while mailing a letter confessing his guilt (he'd killed Linc).

Yvonne Perry won the Soap Opera Digest Award for" Outstanding Female Newcomer" in 1993. I remember thinking it was kind of out of thin air since she had barely started.

Yes, the Ned Simon thing was during the time ATWT when the writing was becoming subpar. Things really got bad around 1996 when NuPaul, Sara, Zoe etc...arrived. I noticed most of those actors never had many or any credits after their ATWT stint.
