Soap Opera Digest: Bryton James (Devon) said when Hilary died, he really felt that the show had lost you for good. Did you think you were forever done with Y&R after you left?

Mishael Morgan: Yeah, I did. I really, really did. I really thought I was done. I mean, even my personality, even boyfriends when I was younger, it’s kind of like, “You know, I’m done with that, moving on.” I never really looked back. So I’ve never ever gone back to an old job, an old boyfriend, an old anything, so I was really like, “We’re probably ‘done done’. ” But I wasn’t!

Digest: Did you have an inkling that Y&R would want you to come back?

Morgan: Yes, I did. There were a few occasions before the ghost thing came up. Some people that I knew were kind of like, “Oh, well, you know, maybe Hilary can just come back.” And then I would just kind of laugh it off. I don’t know if they were really serious, but as they kept joking about it a couple more times I was like, “I think they might actually be serious about me coming back.” But it just wasn’t something that I thought would ever really happen.

Digest: Did someone call you personally from Y&R?
