Looks like the REAL Mama Bear is coming back to town. Looks like Susan Seaforth Hayes is back to reprise her role as Lauren's mama Joanna.this wonderful woman is ALWAYS a hoot.....Guess that Lauren has QUITE a few questions for Mommy Dearest as to Jill being her 1/2 sister. Joanna's got some "Splaining" to do......maybe we'll get to the bottom of why Lauren & her mother have such a " fill in the blank" LOL relationshipeven though if you remember Lauren & Joanna plotted to break up Neil & Gina Roma's engagement waaaaaay back when. And Lauren overheard Joanna tell Neil that she'd wished that she'd aborted her(Lauren)cause Joanna wasn't ready to be a mom..not like Joanna was Mother of the Year material anyway... Maybe we'll find out what makes Lauren tick, and why she was sooo mean all those years ago, especially to Tracy.. I know Joanna ignored her even though Neil adored Lauren. Always thought that Joanna was a little jealious of Lauren amoung other things., cause Neil doted on Lauren SOOO much... And Jill MIGHT be able to bulldoze over Lauren, but Joanna won't take Jill's crap for a minute..Plus don't forget wasn't Joanna interested in John Abbott about the same time that he was very involved with Jill ?...That alone should make things a bit uh dicey between her & Jill ..That'll be must see tv
