Please get Elisabeth Shue for season 2
Shes like the one big character that hasn't returned, would be so cool to see her Johnny and Daniel in a scene together.
shareThey need a good reason for her character to return.

I disagree.
The writing on this show has been fabulous and has brilliantly avoided crossing over into a farce.
We can assume that Kreese never left the valley and shows up at Cobra Kai, but we know that Ali is a doctor who is married to a doctor. If they wrote her back in or all the other people that fans want back (Silver, Chozen, Barnes, etc.) it would seriously demean the series IMO.
I think the writers and producers have done a wonderful job keeping this series extraordinarily entertaining without crossing that line.
Yes, I also want to keep the series grounded in reality. Daniel and Johnny have become so much more human than they were in the first movie, so now I'm really invested in their stories. That's why I'm not sure I liked the way Kreese popped back in. Yes, he was always an over-the-top character, but the whole reveal with the cigar at the end felt out of place. A review on YouTube put it best. "Martin Kove was in a different movie". They gotta dial it back and if they do bring back more characters from the old movies, they need a good, believable reason. Just think, how often do you bump into a whole bunch of people you knew 30 years ago?
shareI just read where they are going to bring back Barnes and possibly Silver. Writers more talented than I may be able to pull this off but I really hope they don't get ridiculous with past characters after hitting it out of the park with the first series.
shareYou assume wrong
Kresse stated to Jonny that after Cobra Kai closed down he re-enlisted in the military and trained SEALs and Green Berets, and now he’s back in the Valley. It’s not very believable. His character could ruin this.

I thought that story was pretty much debunked by some of the Cobra Kai class as Kreese's knowledge of geography was pretty bad. He was also living in a VA hostel.
Interesting to see Cobra Kai canonise Kreese turning up (under an assumed name presumably) in Rambo...
