I'm psyched about Crystal Chappell's return to Days of Our Lives

I'm still not really over the end of Guiding LIght, but if there's one thing soap fans know, you have to move on. You get over the end of Santa Barbara, mourn the loss of Another World, remember forever that before vampires were in vogue in prime time, Barnabus Collins ruled daytime, despite rickety sets and off-the-rack costumes. That said, even while people are saying that soaps are dead -- or dying -- I'm excited about Crystal Chappell returning to Days of Our Lives.
You want to know how excited? I'm going to watch. After Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn were unceremoniously dumped by the soap, I drifted away. But I'm willing to give Days another try, especially because my curiosity has been piqued about Crystal's return.
You see, her character -- Carly Manning Alamain -- has been off the canvas since 1993. But you know what? I watched Days of Our Lives in 1993 and I liked Carly. I cared about the character. And I'm still invested enough to tune in.
Here's a little tease from NBC with Crystal and her costars -- Peter Reckell as Bo and Kristian Alfonso as Hope -- about what to expect.
Crystal made a few brief appearances in the last week or so, but this week things start heating up when she finally gets to Salem.
Oh, by the way, I'm not expecting Carly to be Olivia, Crystal's character on Guiding Light. She was something special and the way GL wrapped up her story with Natalia was rather groundbreaking for daytime.
