Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

Such sad news. :( I can't imagine anyone other than Tanya Boyd as Celeste - it really makes me wish they'd rethink bringing her back until Tanya is capable to play her.

My guess is if they could, they would, but the way production schedules work now they really don't seem to be able to do that. The best case scenario is they just write Celeste out as quickly as the plot allows, and wait until Tanya Boyd's better.

I love me some Celeste, but first and foremost, I pray that Tanya Boyd is okay.

It also depends on the severity of the stroke. You guys know that a stroke is not something you never recover completely from, there is always some kind of permanent damage.

I hope Tanya is okay too. She IS Celeste.

You guys, I just googled Tanya Boyd and a ton of stuff came up saying "Pray for Tanya", "Tanya Boyd stroke", etc etc. it's on multiple sites. If it started as a rumor and spread then someone has some explaining to do. But, it looks to be true. I am very sad for her and praying for her health, friends and family. I love her so much. Not that there's ever a good time for a stroke but this is total crap timing. I was really looking forward to her. But SHE is who I really adore and I want her well. Bless her heart

Poor Tanya :( Even though she is the one and only Celeste, I'll settle for a recast as long as she is okay. Hopefully someday she recovers enough to return, but for now she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope she will recover, obviously....I adore the lady and the character she OWNS! I met her years ago at a Days Luncheon. She literally walked through all the lines we were all in and just chatted up with everyone. She was with me and a few others a good 15 minutes. She asked what our favorite storylines were, asked about us personally, hugged us....just a cool sweet genuine person. I hope they give her time if the stroke wasn't too severe and don't recast her. I can't for the life of me come up with a "name actress" that could possibly work in that role. All I see is Tanya

I totally agree, her character is awesome. In my opinion, Tanya has one of the most complex, bizarre, most fascinating and entertaining characters on the show. I watched old YouTube clips of her today from 2007 when Celeste convinced Sami to drug EJ with the poisoned lip-gloss in that cabin and set him on fire. As campy and ridiculous as that story was, I loved it because of Celeste! I could literally watch that woman do anything. Plus, she had major chemistry with James Reynolds. :wub:

If I was still watching this would thrill me, Celeste made Lexie watchable.

Of course remember when she served as a medium and spoke to the dead spirit of Abe, I think. Of course he wasn't dead merely stuck on the island. Maybe she wasn't being a medium merely a traverse that the seperate living can take?! My question is when they fixed his eyes, why didn't they do something about the bugged-eye thing that always scares me :scared:

There are certain characters who are truly one of a kind. Celeste, like Stefano, is truly a character. I agree with the poster who said it would be easier to recast Lexie than Celeste. My heart goes out to Tanya and her family with wishes for a speedy recovery.

Return Update From SoapSheKnows.com:

Quote:
“Updated: January 16.

According to soap opera journalist Nelson Branco, Tanya Boyd (Celeste) has had a stroke. This means that the actress will not be able to return as planned. “DOOL” will be re-casting the role.

Soaps.com sends our sincere wishes to Tanya for a speedy recovery and will let you know of more details once they are released.”

I was so looking forward to seeing her revive the roll of Celeste. Many Speedy Recovery Prayers headed Tanya’s way.

Every "source of confirmation" is just reverting the news to Nelson Branco. I'd like to see confirmation by SOD before believing anything.

Mitch, good morning. Crap way to start the day, I know. Yesterday I googled Tanya Boyd Stroke and there were numerous headlines from soap boards and things like that. Mind you, all of the different places I saw the news listed DID reference "According to Nelson Branco" in them. So....I AM curious as to why SOD hasn't confirmed it and I really want to take it with a grain of salt. But the site SheKnows reported they knew of the stroke a week ago but decided not to report it for Ms Boyd's privacy but the douche went ahead and made it public....so they basically confirmed it. I'm still waiting on SOD but that's what I read yesterday. Very sad
