The thing is, if she had been gone for about 5 or 6 I could probably handle her coming back as a teen, but she just left a little over a year ago & at that time she was about 4 or 5. Remember her hiding in the hotel or apartment with Babe, Jamie & Little Adam?
I get writing for the teens in the summer because many teens are home themselves watching, but I also think they should use some of those veteran characters & create storylines.
Give some love interests to Opal, Livia & Brooke. I think Zach would have been great with Brooke. I just feel those actors are being pushed aside & their talents being wasted. Sad.
