The recent topics re: L. Richards & T. Crawford had me scrambling to remember 1897. I couldn't remember if Rachel Drummond & Lady Hampshire were in the same storyline (I knew they were but I doubted myself for a split second). It made me question having KLS play two different characters in the same storyline. I also found myself picturing AM in 1897 and how fantastic it would have been had she been able to make her triumphant return in said storyline; but as who? My first thought was as Rachel, the orphan (that would have been SO Curtis Shadows). But there's no way AM could have returned in such a short time. I really like the idea of her being cast as Kitty Soames though. I am guessing that by the time Kitty showed up AM would have given birth to her child, Adam, and able to return. I think that perhaps Kitty, though not 'evil' as AM stated she would like to play, did have a hidden agenda or ulterior motive that made the character a 180 from Vicki Winters. I also like that this would have played well into the Victoria Winters/Leviathan connection, as the storyline would later have it. I'd even have accepted Carolyn Groves in the role though it would have been less spectacular than having AM return. I have to wonder if the fans would have revelled in it or pissed and moaned as they did with T. Crawford returning as the youthful Edith Collins (as was so remembered in that thread). We know Dan Curtis didn't think the fans would buy it. I believe the only change would have to have been the Lady H./Josette connection.
