I think I disagree with that assumption. I have no inside info at all, but if they were using Rattray as a placeholder, why go to the trouble of dramatically shifting Lily's character? With Rattray's arrival in 1990, Lily immediately became a semi-deceptive, man-hungry business woman. Since Jon Hensley had left the show, there was no plan to reunite the couple, so there was clear opportunity to take Lily (and her new portrayer) into new worlds/storylines. Also, I think I remember that Lily had some facial damage/reconstruction in the Derek explosion aftermath, so TPTB made a real effort to move on once Martha was Hollywood-bound. Maybe later on there was an eventual move in late 1992 to return to Martha, but I don't think it was the initial idea.
