GH: Why Holly and Not Anna?

GH fans were tickled by the news that fan fave Tristan Rogers (Robert) would be returning to his Scorpio roots, and that he wouldn't be flying solo.  Since Scorpio's daughter, Robin, made it back to Port Charles last year, most fans assumed that her mother, Anna was on the way. SO they were caught offguard by the announcement that Robert's other wife, Holly, would be making the journey instead.

How'd that happen?  "We love the idea of bringing back legacy characters," explains Head Writer Robert Guza Jr.  "We love that era of Robert and Holly and Luke.  That's the key.  Anna would have been great [to resurrect], and obviously as Robin's mother, there's a story to play with her and Robert.  But what Holly gives us is that great Luke/Robert/Holly triangle which, under these circumstances, was far richer and gave us more stuff to play."

So, the door's open for an Anna return?  "Absolutely," nods Head Writer Charles Pratt Jr.  "We talk all the time about Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).  We talk about Sean and Tiffany (played by John Reilly and Sharon Wyatt, currently opposite one another again as Passion's Alistair and Rachel).  We're very into this.  We love the idea and you can tell your readers they will see more of this happening."

And, great news, Scorpio fans: Rogers and Emma Samms' (Holly) stints may last longer than originally expected.  Guza explains, " None of these [returns] are short-ended.  Robin isn't short-term.  Tristan has not told us he wants to be short-term.  Rick (Springfield, Noah) is around for the duration.  Nobody has said, 'We're outta here.' Right now, it's all wide open."
