Never did, MI didn't come alive till Anna Devane came out of the sky! That the bards did notice and Finola and Tristan took off right from where they left off 14 1/2 years earlier. They along with Kimberly did not skip a beat!
The MI was crap. And it would've been crap with or without Anna and furthermore the day kunfu Annie showed up climbing out of a plane? The Rating went down from being up a few weeks without her and they advertised her return more than the others, so you don't want to go there with thinking she made that crappy story because she didn't, the story sucks because it was a sucky written story that had everybody acting ooc and ridiculous. That whole fight scene was especially ridiculous and horribly ooc because that wasn't something R&A would've done. Anna acted like some jealous ex-gf. I didn't like it. Now back to Holly? You do realized they showed up in Feb? 3 months before Anna? And their were plenty buzz surrounding them even though her part in that story was crappy and ooc too but her/their returns did give ratings boost.
Holly was on briefly during February sweeps (when they wanted Finola) but she didn't come back again until May sweeps, then they finally got Finola for a few days.
Holly showed back up at the end of April and they had their clown like adventure for a few weeks before Anna join the clown show....Anna didn't show up til May 12th..

Finola had her own show on Style that needed accommodating, she wasn't available in Feb but worked something out for May.
Oh, that what happened. She was definitely missed in Feb.
Anna was supposed to let Robin be sick because she was mad at Robert? Wow, Anna would have been the worst deadbeat parent ever!
Nah that part was always written for Holly, Good Riddance when she left :c:
Because of her Tony Jones DIED!

She then again showed up in June, again in May of 2007 and again in April 2008 where she stayed on with a few weeks off and on so she could still do her Style show till after Christmas and the wedding. They gave her night shift that year as well along with Tristan.

I was on various message boards in 2006 and I remember most of the comments about Holly being about ES's not-so-great acting.
I think you got your time frame mix up. The boards weren't kind to her when she came back in 2009, playing opposite Tony Geary/Nathan Parson in the Ethan's reveal story and yes, ITA the acting was bad. But in early 2006? ES was actually, really very good as the bad girl but she just wasn't Holly with whom she was supposedly was playing.
No, I remember it clearly. It was 2006 where most of the ABC board was mostly a bashfest for Soily and Courtney, but there were a few comments on Holly's return.
There might have been a few posts as you remember, but there were a lot of posts and comments about the chemistry between Robert and Holly, especially in the live threads!

that's because they had to shoehorn Anna into the story at the last minute. She was a last minute addition to the story

I know many was wondering about Anna too.
Finola had her own show on Style that needed accommodating, she wasn't available in Feb but worked something out for May.
when did she work out the deal for May? Because the may stuff was all rewritten to insert Anna into the story
Yep, That's right. Remember it clearly now. Finola was a last minute gig. They'd May sweep in the canned but then changed everything because Anna was coming on. I remember TG was talking about the original story in SOW. Actually, it was a road trip story that TG had pitched and it had Tracy/Luke and Robert/Holly.

Guza made changes because he said they couldn't have Robin's parent's on the show and not have Robin in scenes with them, they had to have that Scorpios moment, so those dud kids were added too

All TG's story pitch story never make it on screen. Damn, it could've been a great story better than what we got.

Prove it! LOL Even the press at the time was asking WHERE IS FINOLA? instead.
Finola, Tristan and Kimberly also got their own Soap Talk that May!

Shoe horn that made the entire story bearable to watch, thank god she came back. If you really were in the know and actually knew anything you'd know they had approached Finola from December 2005 to do GH and they couldn't work things out till that May. But keep thinking what you want I'm good. LOL
