Says Kendra Kent, "I've watched The Young and The Restless since I was a pre-teen."
Ellie and Spinelli were my personal picks to return for the ball! Will be interested to see how the new and improved Maxie reacts to seeing this other family raising her child. Also hoping that they see Levi is no good and make Maxie question her new beau. I once tweeted to Emily Wilson (and she liked) that Michelle Stafford should play her mother who was once a Franco groupie making Ellie the true Q heir. Now maybe Ellie will turn out to be Silas and Nina's daughter!
ReplyDelete^^ Ellie and Spinelli were the best thing about last year's Nurses' Ball ("She Blinded Me With Science")
ReplyDeleteI thought Ellie played by Emily Wilson was the best character Ron Carvialti created for GH and had so much potential. Smart, beautiful, eccentric and worked in the hospital! Of course, she was wasted before being unceremoniously dispatched. I'd take Ellie over Sabrina, Carlos, Silas, Kiki, Franco, Nathan and Nina!
