Topic: I Wish Bobby Marsino Could Come Back

I know I've brought this up before, but I have to say it again: 

I really wish TPTB would bring John Enos back as Bobby Marsino.  He was such a great character, and I loved him with Nikki.  Now would be the perfect time for his return, because we all know eventually her relationship with David (a yawnfest) will fall apart because of his gambling.   

Other characters I'd love to see return are:

Nina Webster, she has ties to Katherine and Jill, and there's still the unresolved issue of her never finding the baby that was stolen from her.  Also, I'd love to see her form a new relationship with Michael, because she has yet to see the new Michael, she only knew him when he was still a bad guy.  So many interesting possibilities for Nina!

Ashley Abbott, she could be there for Victor when his relationship with Sabrina (mercifully) ends.

Larry Warton, he needs to see his old friend Jill, and get a job working with Paul Williams and J.T.

Diane Jenkins, I don't think there would be one person in GC that would be happy to see her!

Wow, I actually agree with just about every statement below regarding bringing back some great characters, as they all have more depth and true GC connections than the current crop of newbies.  The only exception is Brittany.  Nothing against Lauren Woodland, but I've had enough of that character. 

Yes, Bobby could be brought back by saying his death was faked because he needed additional protection from the mob and that his adversaries had been killed or jailed in recent months, eliminating the need for his hiding (presumably out of the country).  He's much better with Nikki than David.  

 

Although I think Ashley and Victor as a couple have run their course, I would tolerate it if got Sabrina out of the picture and Ashley back from B&B.  Ashley DOES make Victor more tolerable to watch, and since Grambo ain't goin' anywhere any time soon, it is much preferable to watching Victor and Sabrina play kissy face.  (Good point below regarding Ashley's divided loyalties between Victor and Jack and the dynamic that creates with the storylines). 

 

Also, I totally love Nina and hold hope that one day the actress (whose name escapes me at the moment I'm embarrased to say) will want to return.   She would be entrigued by the situation with Cane and could most assuredly explore the details of it on the pretense of writing a new book.  (Such a storyline could be awesome if the writers really planned it out with twists and turns over a period of months or years.)  And Nina's relationship with Nu-Michael, Kevin and Gloria could be interesting and funny.  I would love to see Nina's reaction and wit as she learns how insane Gloria is and the disfunctional nature of the whole Baldwin/Fisher clan.  I can see Nina bonding with Jana before she realized how she was connected to Kevin and Michael.  Then she would be conflicted with how to handle her newfound friendship before finally realizing that Jana is pretty wacko too, but not a bad gal.  (And more airtime with Jana NOT in jail or a loony bin is a good thing.)

They can't bring Bobby back....he's DEAD. He was killed by a hit and run driver after he went into the witness protection program [he turned states evidence against the mob]. Of course the way these writers do things I'm sure they could put a-spin-on the SL and say it was all faked to give him further protection.

ITA about bringing Bobby back. NO way on Ashley and Dicktor. That train left the station too late as it was and hopefully never returns.

  • JMO, but the the only women I can tolerate Victor being with are Nikki or Ashley. Ashley is the only woman that can disagree with Victor without getting her head bitten off. He actually seems to respect her, especially compared to the way he treats Nikki. Plus, Victor and Ashley have chemistry, and there's alot of history between them. I also like the way Ashley has her loyalties divided between Jack and Victor. It always makes things interesting............nina

    I agree!  Nikki and Bobby were much more hot together than he and Brittany, who I couldn't stand anyway!  I remember their first scene together.  Bobby came to the ranch for some kind benefit or something that Nikki was hosting.  He recognized her from the Bayou and was forward enough to bring it up.  He was telling her how much he loved her act and of course, Mrs. Newman immediately got that uppity air about her and told him how innappropriate it was for him to speak to her like that, LOL.  There was just SOMETHING really hot about that scene.  You could pick up on their chemistry from the first.

  • I remember that scene! I also remember a scene when Bobby showed up at the Newman ranch, and knocked on the door. Nikki answered the door, saw it was Bobby, and slammed the door in his face, LOL! Sparks were flying all over the place...............nina

    I'd love it if he would come back too. As long as it's NOT with BRATney!

  • I wouldn't want him with Bratney, either! They were one of the worst couples in Y&R history.........nina

    I agree.  Would love the character and the actor to return.  It could be so good now that Nikki is free.  So much potential...the ptb are idiots.

    I agree with everyone of your choices.  Bobby and Nikki were dynamite.  I would love Ashley and Victor to get together and actually for Nikki and Victoria to give her their blessing.  I am also tired of Eileen doing great work at B&B, only to be put on the backburner.  Nina is my all time favorite and yes, there are alot of possiblilitie.  I just love Larry.  I hate Diane's character but would it is a love to hate, she needs to take Gloria's place as the resident vamp.

    The following forgotten characters need to either come back or be referred to on a more regular basis.

    Billy

    Brock

    Scotty

    MacKenzie

    Kyle

    Keemo

  • And I agree with everyone you mentioned also! I'd really love to see Ashley Bashioum and David Tom come back. I'd also add David Lago and Laurn Woodland, because I miss the days of Raul, Brittany, Billy and Mac................nina
  • Yes! I'm so sick of these new one-dimensional characters like Chloe and Sabrina.
  • Me too! I'm also sick of Lily and Cane. I can tolerate Cane by himself, but with Lily, he's a disaster. I cannot stand Lily. Bring back the interesting characters, TPTB!!..........nina
