that the summer sls hold my interest, because usually that’s when things get a little dull, but I’m hoping that with the new writers’ sls begining in August, that the end of summer will pick up and we will be climbing out of the cellar where ratings are concerned. I honestly wish we weren’t so far ahead when it comes to what’s being shown having been written 5-6 months ago. No wonder the actors can’t remember what happened when they talk about what’s being shown on screen now; their brains are 6 months older now. LOL! Anyway, I think there will be a lot more vets coming back, if only for short arcs and then gone. I know Ali is returning for the 50th, and I can’t wait for Peter Reckell and Steve Nichols to show up. All 3 are already filming, so let’s get this show on the road.
