Huge Fucking Casting Spoiler..... (Heck DAYS just freaking pulled me back in as a viewer again....)

CRYSTAL CHAPPELL (ex-Carly Manning) is RETURNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! If anyone can steal Bo from Hope it's Carly.

Sami is the best on the show.

Eh I can't stand Sami anymore. I liked Hogan Sheffer but he totally destroyed the character of Sami.

But I miss Marlena .

I missed her at first. It would be nice to have Marlena at Grace's funeral. Marlena would never not come to her granddaughter's funeral. I know they'll use the excuse that Marlena has to be there for John. I hate that excuse it will make Marlena look selfish.

And where have Hope/Bo been lately?!

They'll be getting more storyline in the fall when Carly returns.
