Bring her back and watch the ratings go up. You can't tell me that a show running 26 seasons is not making money enough to 5 distinct characters that make the show such a dynamic success. Three guys two women who seemingly and effectively work well together and produce a believable drama. Keep teasing the audience and fans by perking around Rollins' character and fans are going to drop from watching. If it's about the money...isn't everything nowadays... the powers that be can take a hit at first to bring her back, and when the ratings go up as more people begin to tune back in rs will pay more for time to target the larger audience for the longest running TV drama ever. Or, watch what you have built and billed crumble and fall.
