I certainly ...Eh, it's just *OK* stunt casting. I certainly would have preferred to have William Gray Espy and James Houghton return again with Juliana McCarthy to participate in a Jill story arc. (Those original actors returned for a handful of episodes a few years back when Snapper, Greg, and Liz confirmed that Jill was indeed adopted--but they still loved and supported her, etc.)<br /><br />It was a terrible story choice to make Jill NOT a Foster (couldn't they have had Jill and Katherine saying what they've basically been saying for several months now: "we may not be blood, but we are connected and share a bond"?!), but I can't imagine how they can re-retcon Jill so she's a Foster again: "We figured you wanted to be Kay's daughter so much, we'd let you believe you were..." That is the only vaguely plausible way, but it's still weak and hurtful of the characters to have done considering how close the characters were as a family (and Jill and Liz as mother-daughter) until all but Jill were written out of the show.<br /><br />It's funny, I stopped watching Y&R a week ago because I finally realized how sick and tired I'd become of watching this once terrific show turn into a polished turd--and here I am caring about future casting! I'm not even going to be watching when Hasselhoff, Hauser, and McCarthy come back this summer!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027406896468337998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-76579751554980880572010-04-19T22:31:01.289-04:002010-04-19T22:31:01.289-04:00Roger,

Is the tip-off going to be the smeared red lipstick or the quick hospital dye job? <br /><br />Seriously if Emily is out of Patty's reach, aren't her dyed roots showing yet?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096826657485343791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-41000187507101878712010-04-19T21:45:23.393-04:002010-04-19T21:45:23.393-04:00I'm praying they fix the Jill rewrite.
