The following is from the MD Messsage Board (I don't know if it's reliable or not, but I thought it was interesting).

Additional Comments:

First things first: Kale Browne was let go for one very simple reason. There was a certain suit who did not like him on a personal level. Kale should have known (and prob did) he was a goner the minute that Jill Phelps headed west. The resentment that certain actors felt towards Kale because if his inordinate amount of airtime when he joined OL had little or nothing to do with his dismissal. Simple as that. Tomlin has his favorites on OL and who they are will become VERY apparent in the coming months. He is extremely fond of many of the characters that were first introduced in the early/mid 1990's...such as Todd, Nora, RJ, and Blair. He absolutely adores Hillary Smith and Roger Howarth, so expect to see a lot of them on your screens.

He has no plans to reunite Sam and Nora. Lau (the new Sam Rappaport) is being brought on for a 30-40 something beauty who is currently in the midst of romantic woes. There are only a couple of choices on that one-figure it out.

Tomlin has indeed spoken with Florencia Lozano about bringing back the character of Tea Delgado. Lozano is extremely gun shy about a return, though; she wasn't especially happy about her last year or so at OL and wants to know what would be in store for her storyline-wise. He's been speaking with Chris and Lorraine on storyline ideas for Tea. If the talks work out, expect to see Tea back in Llanview come November, and expect to see some of her family join the canvas as well as Tomlin very much wants to reintroduce some ethnicity to the show.

Tomlin, as of right now, is going with the Todd and Blair pairing and expect to see them in each other's story and working things out for the next few months. If Lozano returns, I have no idea how that will impact Todd/Blair. Sorry.

Tim Gibbs' mouth got him into trouble with that comment about being ready to move on. A certain suit who didn't care for Gibbs to begin with decided to take him up on his offer (this happens to be the same suit who care for Browne and said suit also doesn't care for Jill Phelps, either, but he can't do anything about that last one). And I know many of you like Gibbs, but he really is a cool guy.

Tomlin is considering a Bo and Nora reunion (he really liked these two and directed many of their episodes when he was a director as OL), but is meeting with some resistance on that one from actors and suits alike. He does have the power to overide the actors and the suits would more than likley let him go ahead with this pairing. It's just a matter of if he feels the audience still cares enough about these two.

Chamarro is definitely outta here. The reason for Sophia's exit will come as a surpise.

There's also about an 80% that Darlene Vogel will be leaving in May. She hasn't caught on with the audience. If she fails to pull through during her upcoming storyline material, she's a goner.

Tomlin and the writers do read the mail. Your letters do count with this regime. So, if there's somthing you want to see (or not to see) I suggest dropping a line.

I would love if Florencia Lozano came back to OLTL! She is one of my favorites. Especially now that Todd is with Blair. I would love to see a TnT reunion if she comes back. As for putting Nora and Bo back together, I really hope that they don't. Those two made me wanna puke with their cheeziness. I don't blame Bob Woods one bit for not wanting to be a part of that. Who would want to spend 24/7 with Hillary B. Smith all day?! The poor guy has been subjected to enough torture in the past as were we. And I really hope that Tomlin isn't going to show more of Nora. I can't take too much of that tramp's lisp and annoying laugh. Ugh!
