SOW:People are so excited about Vivian coming back. LS:I've heard that, but it's so hard to digest because it's been 10 years. Can you believe it? What took them so long? I love the character and always thought it was insane to drop her. I said that when I left the show. SOW:Who contacted you about returning? LS:Gary Tomlin. Gary told me Crystal Chappell was coming back, which I already knew. Gary said they were thinking of bringing Vivian back, too. I was nonplussed. SOWS:And interested? LS:Oh, yes. Gary said he had to get back to the writers, so I let it go. It was at least three weeks before my agent called and said "This is a reality." SOW:What was your first day on the set like? LS:Very emotional. I went in for a fitting. I walked down the hallway and saw the old pictures that were all still there of Mac Carey. Then I saw the crew, and that did it for me. I burst into tears. I love those guys. I always did. SOW:When we first see Vivian, she's receiving Lawrence's ashes. What can you share about that scene? LS:It's very brief and very mysterious. There's a big hat. Then there's my face and a voice: "Find Carly Manning." It's one of those ominous kickoffs on a Friday. Interestingly enough, just before Halloween, the witch is back. SOW:So that animosity for Carly is still there? LS:Alive and kicking. Vivian plans to torture her, although I don't know how. She's convinced that Carly killed Lawrence. SOW:Have you gotten to work with Crystal yet? LS:Yes. It's hard to hate her (onscreen). It's like I have to turn on a switch. I've known her for 14 years. SOW:And will you get to work with Michael at all, despite Lawrence being dead? LS:Lawrence comes back as a ghost. I'm hoping the ghost visits me. I love him. He's a lovely man. They're both amazing. SOW:What have you been doing since you left DAYS? LS:I did a couple of other shows (Port Charles and Passions) and some theater. I didn't purposely check out, but it gets more and more difficult for those of us who are not 20. I didn't put myself in a position where if I didn't work I couldn't pay my bills. Bascially, I'd gone on in my life to write. I started taking writing courses. SOW:So what's Vivian like this time around? LS:I'm just grasping that. She's definitely as annoying as ever and funny. Nobody welcomes her. Everybody says "Go away"

I always loved Vivian and the things she did. One never knew what Auntie Viv would be into or turn up as next and she made the show so exciting. I can hear her now...paging Dr. Woo. LOL

Should be fun to see her again.

I love that everyone's annoyed by her return. In my head, I can see Kate's reaction to seeing Vivian for the first time. Lauren Koslow will do that "OH MY GOD" loudly under her breath as her eyes roll and she moves her head to the other side. LOL! Can't wait!!!

(SOW says October 30th) Grr! No one will ever replace Ivan, especially someone named Gus. I can't see Vivian Alamain ever associating with someone by the name.

Crystal has said repeatedly in tweets and interviews how happy she is to be back at Days and what a blast she's having. She's plainly delighted with the changes they've made to Carly's character. Where exactly did she indicate that she's not a happy camper?

I love her return scene! I hope it plays as well as it sounds.

This myth that Crystal isn't happy to be back at Days keeps perpetuating, and it's completely erroneous. She's thrilled, loves the cast and crew, and has repeatedly said how wonderful her storyline is.
