So I found this over at DD. It's a pretty interesting spin on the return of VM.

Before Laura returned, so many were so excited about an L&L reunion. Guza wrote Luke as conning Laura during their wedding while having another secret wife and later that their entire life to have been based on her accepting his periodic cheating on her.

Before OG Lucky returned, I remember lots of posts about JJ and his portrayal of Lucky, how we were missing his acting and the chemistry between LL2, and how JJ's Lucky wouldn't be written into a morass of cheating, lies and crazery. Guza wrote Lucky just as clueless, inserted his own brother as the cheater, and now he's so sensitive there are jokes about his water works and not being "a man".

Before SJB returned, there was so much anticipation about her fabulous chem with MB, her admittedly fine acting skills and her ability to wring sympathy from any character. Guza wrote Claudia.

I fear for Brenda and VM.


The bottom line is, none of us really know exactly what her place on the canvas will be. Let's try and be positive instead of drawing the worst possible conclusions before she even sets foot in Port Chuck. JMO.
