Interesting casting choice I remembered when she played Princess Di in a TV movie. I thought she was good.

I don't think her age really matters here. I mean Vern was helping Jack run the paper and he was up there in age back in the day. However Nicole has other options for stories that a career isn't really needed for her tbh.

I believe that it's April and Doug's funeral won't air till December which is 8 months from now.

Yes she wrote for The Intruder. It was in the vents there that Xander locked Eric/Nicole together. I actually don't mind Nicole as a journalist I got some decent Jack/Nicole scenes out of it. That being said it's not a viable job for a TV character these days because the landscape has changed for news etc.

She said she would return if they would want her for more than one episode. She mentioned how you have to pay to fly there and it wasn't worth the $$$ for one episode. I posted about it in the BTS thread.

I thought he was in his late 20s. Definitely older.

I forgot about that and if Shane wasn't available, they couldn't have Kim around for a couple episodes?

Normally I would be bothered by Shane/Kim not being there for their own daughter's wedding. However considering that I don't care for Theresa and this wedding will be a hot mess(and not in the fun soapy way). It's probably for the best. A shame they didn't bring them around for Bo/Hope's story last spring.

Yes that's Maree Cheatam aka Marie Horton. Which is a nice blast from the past. I personally think Kristian is there but not Peter. Speaking of SS I was surprised to hear Susan begged 5 different headwriters to bring back Steven Olson but only Ron listened. I will give him credit for that at least(although I question why other writers weren't interested?).

I don't mind Janel they're cute but they need something to do. At least they haven't saddled them with kids yet so not all hope is lost with them. Yes which was a large part of why Doug/Julie were against the relationship.

Leo’s reaction to Bobby/Everett just didn’t ring true to me. I agree with your general point about Xarah but I go with it because the actors have chem and one of the few things about the show that doesn’t completely bug me

That happened in 2016 so my guess is yes? Although I thought Dena was writing at that point I don't recall.

Well Matt is there along with a few others in this video. We don't see PR/KA there but I like to think they are surprising us with that one(I hope so anyways). I don't see Casey either which would suck because JJ/Doug scenes were always delightful.

I don't think it should surprise anyone that she would return for Bill/Doug's tribute and I bet Matt is also there but probably not announced yet. Which is why I also expect them to probably announce Kristian (maybe last) also.

Leo bugging out over that is something because we were subjected to Gwen calling Leo Matty for months on end.
