Would anyone who was shafted by the Emerald "management" go back willingly? Not that he'd have me, but if AJ showered me with gold and got Kylie as my "personal" assistant, I'd still tell him to stick where the sun doesn't shine. Sideways.
Afterall, MOB was an incompetant fool, but who put him in the job in the first place? I'll give you a hint, his initials were AJ...........
