Really? I love Haiduk and her efforts, but this whole silliness was overdone and should just be finished for good.
Yay! I’m sooo excited! I love this show because u never know what’s next.
glad to se stacy back!!!
i think she killed diane……………
Well … shame on Y&R for bringing that phenomenal actress back just to have the murder of Diane Jenkins solved. Stacy Haiduk deserves so much more and so does the character of Patty Williams.
Welcome Back Stacy–Cool! 🙂
I have been hearing a lot of buzz that Stacy would reprise her fantastic work as Patty on Y&R and I AM SO EXCITED THAT IT’S A REALITY!!!!
Certainly she will be involved with the Diane murder, but PLEASE, PLEASE keep her on after the story wraps up. She is absolutely mesmerizing to watch as Emily/Patty. Fans rejoice!!! My favorite crazy broad (next to Phyllis) is back with a vengeance….. MEOW!!! 🙂
kalamaty – i love your MEOW!!!
Thanks, Michael! So exciting to see the scenes of Patty so far, and to know that Nikki is right behind her…. I have a feeling that Y&R’s November Sweeps are going to be kick ass! 🙂
YESSSSSS!!! Welcome back to Y&R Stacy, we LOVE you! Great to read this & even more excited to watch you today on the Canadian show! You’re a fantastic actress & you do an excellent job playing Patty. Love watching you work with Adam, you two make the best crooks together!
Why even ask which storyline will involve her? Helen Keller could see that Patty will be Diane’s murderer.
I like Haiduk but I really would have preferred some great surprise resolution to the storyline. We haven’t had a decent “twist” to a plot on this show for years. Either the twists are ridiculous (Jill Fenmore) or they were too obvious.
I like her I hope she’s back for long term.
I have been waiting for her to come back…I’m over the top excited for her return.
Great actress! So glad she’s back. I hope this means the character of Emily is back soon too. She and Jack were very sweet together.
BRILLIANT TWIST!! I love Patty and Stacy Haiduk!!!! plus, I never saw this coming!!!! so happy about it!
enough of Patty Williams. move on. Hate this Genivieve character too.
The storyline with Patty and Jack started in 1982. You mean to tell me, after all this time, she’s STILL in love with the guy??? UGH, this needs to come to a complete close once and for all. They should have left the Emily character around instead.
I, respectfully, disagree. The strength of Y&R – in my humble opinion, and as a viewer since the 1970’s – is built on these types of “core” relationships; the types of relationships that have endured for decades! Smart of the execs to always keep the past near while looking forward…. I would hope that most lovers of this show would agree. Either way, the Young and the Restless remains a record breaking television institution around the world…. and I couldn’t go a Monday thru Friday without it!
Kinda missed her in a twisted way lol it will be nice to have her back and I hope she has more speaking parts as she has a nice voice.
I love young and the restless. Lets move on and reveal Diane’s killer. The suspended is killing me.
I love Young and the Restless. Lets reveal Diane’s killer. The suspended is killing me!
I love Young and The restless. Who killed Diane! The wait is killing me.
Please no more Patty Williams.
