[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 170119, member: 27"] Alexis, just like any character, can be made relevant--heck, made [I]central[/I] to the show--if the writers simply decide to write it that way. Soaps can change their focus, theme, what-have-you with the drop of a hat. New writers can enter the scene and turn the whole show upside down to suit their whims. Just ask fans of [I]Falcon Crest[/I]. o_O Look at how the show changed when Adam showed up on the scene. Suddenly they had a villain they [I]wanted[/I] to write for, and I think it is safe to say it was a near-total change of tone within two episodes. As much as I would prefer Nicollette return and pick up where she left off, I believe they will have an easier time of re-imagining and re-focusing the character if they have a different actress playing it.
