Well, yeah. The character's been off screen for twenty years, she's missed her parents funerals, her brothers funeral and various family occasions including both her brother's weddings... she's obviously back because she needs help or needs the support of her family.
If she had just come back for a holiday, blimey... this forum would've gone nuts! "SOC should be burnt at the stake for recasting Michelle for no reason" - I can imagine it now.
