I hope the Gemini Twins stay gone. They were turkeys and one was even stuffed in a turkey!

Well, this was always a possibility, especially with Eileen returning. However, two things that don't make sense.

Why on earth would she return at a different time than Eileen?
Even though she is apparently going be on for only a few episodes, how is Billie Reed returning and not Kristen DiMera?

Her acting was mediocre the last time, hopefully she is able to infuse her RHOBH persona into it a bit this time.
Why would they come back at the same time?
Indeed, particularly with Eileen Davidson no longer being a cast member of RHOBH there's really no reason they should be returning as a double act. The two shared scenes in the early 90s but have missed each other ever since.

I could see them attempting to have them bother around the same time, but I certainly don't think it's weird that they didn't.

I half expected it would have been an excuse for one of Eileen's apparent guest appearances this coming season but it's not unusual that it's not either.

For the sake of people still watching though I hope it's only a brief appearance, otherwise they should look into getting someone who's still an actress cause she's pretty dreadful now.

With the exception of the tension rising between Tony & John over the twins and Marlena, that whole time period was turkey. SKK is the story I hate the most that I've every tried to watch.Queen of the Night into Possession is pretty close second.

No way she would come back for that. She wouldn't go back to DAYS unless the material was decent. I could see Eileen coming back during Rinna's run as a RHOBH cross promotion too.

Yaaaaaay! Her Billie and RKKs Bo are the reason I started watching DAYS. Her return will certainly get me watching again. I hope they stay true to the style of Billie that Lisa originated in the 90s. They strayed from that in every iteration after Lisa's first stint just to create a villian for Bo and Hope, which sucked.

I'm pretty sure Drew was joking since it's a well-known fact that Lisa Rinna hated the cop uniform.

I'm just over the moon about this. I know Billie came to Salem with Austin but after the big reveal (a la Deborah Adair's) of Kate admitting Lucas was a bastard Horton, was Billie and Lucas's relationship ever fleshed out fully?
IMO, yes, the Lucas/Billie relationship was fleshed out fully. It was never the focus and it happened here and there over the course of years, but it did happen.

During LR's 02-ish return they had significant scenes during the Larry Welch redux. They were living together and bonding over their substance abuse issues. He was one of the only people she had when she was persona non grata with most of Salem for her inadvertent role in Hope's kidnapping. Can't forget the roundly-mocked scene where Billie almost takes a drink and tells Lucas "the ice cubes were sparkling..." And the utter creepiness of Lucas saying "both my sisters are hot" while trying to balance his loyalty to Jennifer/Billie when Billie briefly dated Jack.

Then they were up in each other's business constantly once Julie Pinson had the role. Living together or across the hall from each other some of the time. There was Billie cheerleading for Lucas/Sami (no one shipped Lumi harder than Billie in 2006/2007) and Lucas trying to help Billie out when she made her typical lousy decisions (he was the one who moved her into that apartment building when the Lockharts threw her out, he was the one who kept warning her EJ was going to exploit the security system she developed, etc.) Billie was the one Lucas called to baby-sit the twins when he went out and framed himself because Will shot EJ. Lucas was the one who played referee between Chelsea and Billie when Chelsea wanted to disown Billie for sleeping with Nick. And the two of them would gang up on Kate when they thought she was going too far to help Philip hang onto Claire. That's one of my favorite Days sibling scenes of all-time: Billie and Lucas have a debate about whether it's better to be raised by Kate or not in front of Kate. Kate starts bawling and neither Billie nor Lucas have any fucks to give. It's hilarious.

There was less interaction during LR's last return, but by then Lucas had basically been phased out as a meaningful part of Salem.

Overall in the 2000s though, there was enough time to establish a close relationship between them.
Yeah it was definitely in the 2000s. In the late 90s when Billie was played by Krista Allen, she and Lucas weren't close at all. During her first two years they barely interacted, and they weren't exactly friendly later on when Billie worked with Austin and Eric to prove Sami was innocent of Franco's murder.

If RC writes good stuff for Billie I will enjoy seeing Lisa back. But that is a must. I despise trick returns that really serve no purpose and make one wish the character had stayed away.

Kate and Lucas will have their family broadened. Could we please see Kate as a mother and not so greedy, grasping, and acting like wasp who stings all in sight. It was pretty cold to see Kate treat her own son like a disease and kiss up to Chad in the same episode. Maybe Kate can have a health crisis and Billie returns to be at her side. Guess we'll see in six months.

UGH!

When I consider the returns of Sweeney and Rinna, I can clearly imagine TPTB at Days sitting around one day and saying:

"Ya know what would be great for the show? Let's bring back two of the worst actresses ever!"

:puke:

I like the character of Billie and either LR or JP is fine by me. I think the show gets more publicity out of LR returning though. I also hope this leads the way or has something to do with Chelsea coming back to Salem. We need actresses in that age range.

I really don't see any reason to be disappointed or down on any of the short term returns. They will come and go - some hopefully will make an impact on story and others will be for family or old time reminiscing. I can't imagine Laura or Marie or Bill Horton e.g. having some big impact on story but I'd still like to see them occasionally at big family events. It doesn't really hurt anything by having these short appearances. IMO each character/actor/actress has their legion of fans and if that helps bring eyes back to the show and some of them stay around then its a win-win for DAYS.

I'm actually more interested in characters like whoever Tyler Christopher is going to play since this impacts long term story. I don't want to see a mass cast shake-up but I do think we need some infusion of new or returning characters that can drive story and be somewhat fresh. I think the show has done a pretty good job of weeding out the poor acting. Now I think they need to look at which characters have long term potential for some exciting stories, some mystery, and who have chemistry.

Rinna should likely infuse her RHOBH persona into the role, that would make it interesting.

You had me worried there for a split second, but I don't think Rinna would ever agree to returning under those circumstances and I actually think Alfonso has enough clout so as not to allow that to happen.

But if I'm wrong, I will never watch this show again in my life.

I'd prefer Julie Pinson to return as Billie too. But glad Billie is back though. I agree Lisa Rinna's original run was better than either of her previous 2 returns.

That wasn't RKK with MB. That was one of the Jacks. Stephen wasn't even around for RKK. The other stuff was an issue with though.
