It wouldn’t be realistic for Tucker NOT to be back at least for the funeral. They should invite Stephan back for a few guest appearances. I’m certain he would do it.

I still what to know if they why they was going to recast and not use Steven? Is he GH bound.

Tucker should most definately return for the funeral. Even if it’s just a short visit during that time. Hopefully Y&R realized how ridiculous it was to have anyone other than Stephen Nichols play the part. He’s made the role his own.
As for the not wanting new faces part…please, the entire cast is bloated right now with new faces so not buying that one.

They should bring him back for the funeral at least. With Katherine gone they really need to bring him back full time. It would continue Katherine’s legacy and make for some great stories.

There are too many new faces that don’t make any sense and no one cares about..

What about katherines other son broke or his daughter mac they should be there as well.

Maybe Tucker should die overseas, BEFORE Katherine’s funeral. That would explain why Katherine and Murphy’s absence, Devon isn’t on-screen much either, so it would not be hard to do. No one else would need to go across the pond to see him buried ,every one left on Y&R hardly knows him.

Katherine dies shortly after- that would make for a good story.

Tired of hearing about it…im all ‘tucker’ed out!

After all the new faces they’ve been bringing on they think another new face would be too distracting??? I don’t get that logic! Now that Kay is gone, we need Tucker!

It’s always odd when characters don’t appear at key life events of other characters still on screen. Weddings, funerals, etc. It will be hard to accept that Tucker wouldn’t return for his mother’s funeral. Just as it was when Ridge didn’t return for his mother’s funeral and his daughter’s wedding on B&B. I’m able to accept a lot because its television drama, but Tucker, in any form, should attend his mother’s funeral and subsequent reading of the will.

Well, SN won’t be playing the part because he and JFP do not get along at all, which is why SN was gone from the show not long after JFP and JG took over (about 5 months or so in). SN was on GH when JFP was there and as you can imagine, SN was let go from his role on that show by JFP too. No love lost between those two, which is why SN will not reprise the role of Tucker.

Just bring SN back for the funeral & also Brock ( sorry I forget his name )…No more new faces at Y& R for awhile.

To not have Tucker there is lunacy. The character needs to be there. But to have that character recast would be worse, very distracting from what is supposed to be happening, and that’s the funeral for a legacy character who was a integrated into the very fabric of it. All this Tucker talk detracts from that, and it’s sad. Bring SN back, pay him whatever you need to pay him, it’s one shoot, so just freaking do it, already. Then after the funeral, recast if you can’t make an SN stay work. But for the funeral, for the love of… Read more »

This is the part that kills me:

“…the show decided it would be too distracting to have a new face in the mix.”

Yet, Y&R has done nothing but have a parade of new characters and recasts ever since the new powers-that-be have taken over. So, Katherine’s own son, a character people liked and a talented actor, will not be returning for her FUNERAL, however we have Tyler, Leslie, nuNoah, nuSummer, nuKyle, Dylan, Chelsea, Avery, Alex, and so on and so on front and center. Jill Farren Phelps and Josh Griffith are ruining this show.

Stephen Nichols and Tucker McCall got caught up in the mess that was MAB and the transition to JFP. Strong actgor and character with potential lost. I say bring Tucker McCall back to Genoa city for the funeral and then dispense with him. He was not a part of Katherine’s life until the end. Have him pay respects and make peace, then go off with his own money and power to be in the world. He could always come back in the form of another actor, but the character could be written out after the funeral. That said, I would… Read more »

Stephen playing Tucker should return for the funeral and stay awhile!

Bring Tucker back for the funeral and son Brock. Brock should inherit the Chancellor fortune and run Chancellor industries. Bring Mac along if you wish this could be a love hate relationship with Jill.

I agree that Stephan Nichols would have come back, at least for the funeral. He was there for the tribute show. I’m sure the Brock character will be back. Cant’t think of the actors name, but he’s played that role for years, so he’ll be there. It would be nice if SN came back for a while for a story arc…fighting Jill & Cane for control of Chandler Industries. If he’s not coming back to GH, I wouldn’t mind seeing him on Y&R again. BYW…if there is a fight over CI, I hope Jill kicks Cane in the ass right… Read more »

Be done with it and admit it is now the Steve Burton show and those god awful actresses Jessica Collins and MC just close the lid!!!FYI Sharon Case do a slow walk like Michelle Stafford did and find work elsewhere.

They are not recasting because they plan on recasting Phyliss

I’m okay with it.

By now I get the feeling that a lot of the characters that should come back for this won’t.

But written correctly, the action should revolve around Jill and Nikki anyway.

Who cares if Cane continues on at CI. I’m just concerned about getting Jess back and in that mansion to drive future story.

Get it done!

I think if Stephen Nichols does not come back to play Tucker for at least the funeral there should be some mention as to why. Tucker and Katherine had a hugely conflicted relationship and to have no mention of Tucker would be wrong. Maybe a scene with Devon speaking at the funeral as to how Tucker was too overcome with emotion to be at the funeral.

If the plan is to bring Tucker back then who cares about the recast being at the funeral. He could have few scenes and just be slowly introduced to the audience. If they won’t/can’t bring back SN at least this makes sense because Kay’s son would not be MIA from his mother’s funeral,,,,especially given their final scene together where you saw that they cared for each other. I am sick & tired of major family being omitted from huge events like weddings & funerals. Brock, Tucker, Mac would in no way not come to Kay’s funeral. Of course, we will… Read more »

Both Brock and Tucker need to be at Mrs. Chancellor’s funeral, along with their respective children. I hate when relatives are absent from soap funerals and weddings.

Is SN going back to DOOL? I think their writers coud do a lot with Steven Earl Johnson.
Days is worthy of him. Y&R is stinking things up! With Patch Days of our Lives.will be
a force no one can stop.

It would be great to see Tucker and the rest of Kay’s family back for her funeral. After that I would love to see Stephen go on to another soap where I can watch him there. Maybe back to GH as Stefan if the writers can do damage control after what the last regime did. I just don’t recognize Y&R any more. I tried to tune back into it the other day and saw plenty of new faces that I don’t know or care about now.

They should have Stephen return for the funeral. Or at least say he tried to get there, but planes are grounded so he couldn’t get there.

their search

I think it is definitely appropriate for both of Katherine’s sons, Brock and Tucker, to be at her funeral and I think Stephen Nichols should be asked back as Tucker. In their final scenes together they were working on a mother-son relationship.

Too many new faces on y,r.I think Tucker should be brought back and I am very upset that Phyliss is leaving,but from I understand ,she is going toG&H and the same for S.N.This new group must go or we will not have Y&R.these story lines are bad and the new players can’t act and there is no good story lines.

Yes. He should be at the funeral and then involved with the family business and all the battles that go along with it.

I heard he wouldn’t do it – even a one time appearance

Bring him back

I would think that because Tucker and Kay had really just found each other and developed a real mother son relationship and cant believe that he would not be there for the reading of her will. And OH PLEASE stop the chloe and Chelsea LIE! Doesn’t Chelsea know about the same lie chloe told about deliah and how it affected SO many people. And surely Dylan took a big bump to his brain believing this fully developed baby was 2months EARLY! c”mon.I want Adam in the baby’s life and not carry this on for years! And holy cow when is… Read more »
