I love Rebecca Budig as Greenlee, however, the character was so TERRIBLY written after she returned between Charles Pratt Jr, James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esensten.....just one badly written storyline after another!!!!!!

Yeah so much for the 'Real' Greenlee, not only did RB only end up staying for like...a year or so and cheat Sabine out of her 4 year contract, she was also written poorly. Greenlee is and is supposed to be a snobby full-of-herself-griping little Tasmanian devil and that's how she was written when Sabine played her, but then RB came back and she was written as yet a watered down version. I hated it. So much for this REAL Greenlee crap!
I thought it was tasteless of ABC-TV to announce that "the REAL Greenlee" Returns, as if giving a slap in the face to the current actress at the time who was trying her best to play the role - I'm sure it's not easy to play a role that another actress is so identified with.
I think they just meant Ryan as A true love. No one is stupid enough to think it's only him. Everyone who watched back then knows that Greenlee and Leo are soulmates.
But my personal opinion is like you. Ryan as Greenlee as true love is a joke. If someone thinks they were a true love then feel free to argue, but they have absolutely nothing to put them ahead of Greenleo, and they are pathetic for losing every poll to Ailee by such wide margins it was clear that they are very unpopular.
Rebecca Budig could cut it in Hollywood. She also did primetime spots. Just because she decided to come back doesn't mean that she couldn't make it elsewhere. As for this promo, I'm over it.
yeah, that seems really mean to say "the real Greenlee." Completely tactless marketing. They could have easily said "the orginal Greenlee" or "Rebecca Budig returns as Greenlee" ...is that so hard?
While it's really tasteless how they're promoting this (the REAL Greenlee is a bit much) it is true that Sabine was miscast as Greenlee big time. Greenlee shouldn't have been recast anyway.
WELCOME BACK REBBECA! I stopped watching when Sabrina came on she couldn't play Greenlee like Rebecca could. I do think "the real Greenlee" was the wrong quote to use cuz it offends Sabrina fans but I do agree she is the REAL Greenlee. Welcome back Rebecca I won't watch until you return!

I don't think I can watch anymore after RB returns. This is the last straw. I couldn't stand her Greenlee, but I really liked SS's interpretation and was a fan. Now she'll just be back to the snotty b*tch she used to be. No thanks!
Is this what welcoming back popular actors is all about on soaps these days? Get excited because the "real" actress is back when the same network approved the "fake" one in the first place! What a crock, a show of corporate arrogance and the eminent decline of this genre. Funny, you don't hear a peep about the "real" writers and executive producers returning! AMC has put its energy into casting, like putting a band aid on leukemia.
Refering to RB as the "real" Greenlee is so rude. I won't lie I'm happy she's back and I can't wait for Rylee to reunite. It's just that Sabine did a good job while she had the role, so to say another actress is "real" is implying that she's fake and that's just wrong.
I love Rebecca, but I hate they are calling her the "real" Greenlee. I know she is the "real" Greenlee, but I feel sorry for Sabine. They are acting like her Greenlee sucked, but she is a good actress.
I feel bad for Sabine, but I am a die-hard Rebecca fan and she embodied Greenlee and should have NEVER been recast, so it's a bad situation for Sabine and her fans, but as a Rebecca fan, I am BEYOND ecstatic.
When I saw this promo today it made me sick. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Sabine was treated like dirt. The thing that really irks me is that they are going to make it as if Greenlee never kidnapped & hurt Spike, which is what she did. In real life, even if Spike had not been deaf, Kendall wouldn't have forgiven Greenlee that easily because she did kidnap Spike. As for Rylee, I was never a big fan of them together.
Oh, I totally agree!! Kendall should never forgive Greenlee for what she did to Spike. I don't care if Spike's deafness wasn't caused by Greenlee, she still kidnapped him which made Kendall go into pre-mature labor. Again, I really think AMC made a HUGE mistake with re-casting Greenlee and should have just waited until Rebecca was able to return. Then we wouldn't have this huge mess!
Nooo! Greenlee was returning with Spike. She realized she screwed up. I know it is only a character, but dang. Anybody know forgiveness? Besides, Greenlee got screwed over pretty bad long before the "baby stealing".
What I don't get is why everyone treated Greenlee like she was the scum of the Earth just because she kidnapped a baby for 10, maybe 15 minutes. But Babe kept Miranda from Bianca for almost a year and everybody loves her now.
Yeah, it does but I'm SO happy Rebecca is returning! Sabine was doing an ok job. I started liking her near the end of the hole storyline. She's starting to grow on me but I think Rebecca IS Greenlee. Nobody compares. Too bad for Sabine but I believe AMC should have just waited until Rebecca was able to return to the show.
So do I. Recasting was a HUGE mistake. It really is terrible for Sabine... she got caught up in a really bad situation being cast in a role that could have been ripped away from her at any given second had the original actress (who owns that role as far as I'm concerned) chosen to return. I feel really bad for her, I do... but... I still couldn't be more excited about Rebecca. Its about freaking time!
leo was her true love
