Of course this is fabulous but WHERE IS EMMA

I know, that was my first thought too. And I really hate feeling that way because I truly am excited for all the vets that are returning!

The one thing that made me feel hopeful was that Jackie made it sound like it all came together really quickly, so even though Emma just said she's heard nothing, she could be getting a call in the next day or two. Hopefully it's soon.

Another thing about Emma is that her return would have more movable parts to it if the drops are accurate, and I hope they are. Her story involves Robert, Ethan, Luke (I guess) and two of those three aren't there at the moment.

In Jackie's case...Luke is there, Lulu is there, Carly and two of her kids are there, and the hospital is still there. Monica is still there if they remember she and Bobbie are best friends. She's also been close to Felicia in the past.

I'm really trying to be patient here.

I hear you, and I do agree with your point. It's crossed my mind several times. Robert & Holly still have a story to tell, one they were in the middle of, that I think it was even less than ideal that they had to have Robert take Luke's place last Fall. Some of the stars that are returning now, either haven't been on the show in ages and/or aren't in the middle of a story. So they can pop in to celebrate or begin new stories, and it's not a big deal. But if RnH returned now, it'd be weird for them to just show up at the Nurses Ball, or whatever, to celebrate. I try to keep that in mind when I get impatient or sad about the idea of them not being there to honor the 50th. I also try to remember that April 1 is the 50th date, but the entire year is really the anniversary!

I am starting to get concerned because if Tristan and Emma are going to be involved with the 50th anniversary that means that They would need to start taping within the next month. I am hoping that when Emma is in the US next month for the variety marathon that this will include a trip to LA to tape. Im keeping my fingers crossed

Keep in mind that JZ was asked back for THREE episodes. These are most likely for the Nurses Ball. My guess is she will be in the audience and not have a major storyline. Holly does have some major story to tell - so that is a good thing. I'm just not sure she will be back for the NB.

I REALLY want Holly back for the Nurses Ball which is airing the first week in April. That sounds like when all the big stars will be back to celebrate the 50th anniversary. That said, I'm not sure she will be back by then. I think Robert will - because of Robin. But HNY had a drop a while back about Holly coming back for the Ethan arc whereas Robert was coming back for the Ethan arc AND the Nurses Ball. So, when is the Ethan arc? I don't think Ethan has been recast yet so it could be a while. Also, I think there is a big Spencer/Scorpio/Cassadine arc that will play out this summer. My guess is that Holly will be a part of that.

Again, I REALLY want Holly to be back for the Nurses Ball/Anniversary week, but I'm trying to prepare myself that she may not be back until well after the anniversary.

At this point I am ready to SCREAM !!!!!!
