I remember when the talks stalled, and I was so upset. Granted the show wasn't terrific at the time, but I think there have been some fun storylines with the Salem Stalker, the island, and bringing in and reviving some characters. I know there are only so many ways that a person can be in an accident, get ammnesia, come back from the dead, have different parents, etc... I'm just glad they didn't travel down the 'possessed' plot line again.
