Members SouthOfSoap Posted September 18, 2015 Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 With so many changes to the cast on DAYS, I thought it might be worth keeping a running tab as it is quite easy to get lost. I put the topic in Spoiler Island, because some people don't want to be spoilt about cast changes. Another reason for the post is that it is not entirely clear whether DAYS cast is ballooning out of control like GH or stable (or contracting!) As at 9/2 from Jason47: Already departed as per Jason47 in 2015 are: 3/9- Chrishell Stause (Jordan Ridgeway)6/2- Molly Burnett (Melanie Jonas)8/18- Freddie Smith (Sonny Kiriakis)8/25- Paul Telfer (Xander Cook)8/27- Melissa Archer (Serena Mason) And True O' Brien. Known Departures: Know arrivals to come: (I haven't counted Ciara, Theo and Chase as new as they are replacing existing actors) Evidence based Rumors: Have I covered everything known? Have I got contract and recurring correct? Please correct me if wrong. By these numbers, we have 34 contract actors, increasing by a net 9 to 43 which is huge given DAYS has hovered around 28-30 cast members for the last 5 years at least. Must be more departures coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted September 18, 2015 Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 Wow those are crazy numbers. I still think DAYS could go with a cast of 10-12 contract with lots of recurring - it just seems odd for a show that is on the financial ropes that they wouldn't try to manage those costs and shorten production cycle, which really is hurting the show. Seriously, characters like Maggie, Caroline, Roman and Abe are not contract worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted September 18, 2015 Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks for the tabs ! Are the upcoming roles all contract? Judi Evans might be leaving? She has just been added to contract. I hope not. Love Adrienne. Where is the rumor coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted September 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 With guarantees so low, it doesn't make much difference between contract and recurring anymore except for union benefits. I don't know 100% for all roles, maybe other posters know. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the source of the JE departure on this board.

Members Sindacco Posted September 18, 2015 Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 On "Know arrivals to come" there are some who are short-term and some who are recurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 From the closing credits, A. Martinez and Sal Stowers are contract cast members as they were listed just after Peter Reckell and before Susan Seaforth Hayes. But Camila Banus is nowhere to be found in the credits, neither Thaao Penghlis yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 Judi Evans leaving? Really? That's pretty lousy of DAYS to do to her since she just got back on contract after being a solid recurring player for years. If anything, she has been one of the few bright spots in the last year (ie her fight with Lauren Koslow's Kate)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jennerz Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 Jason Cook is supposedly only there for three months, but rumor has it Shawn may be recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 They brought JC back only to end up recasting 3 months later? They should have brought someone new in from the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted September 27, 2015 Members Share Posted September 27, 2015 They'll probably want to cast someone more compatible with Gradma Belle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jcar03 Posted September 28, 2015 Members Share Posted September 28, 2015 Banus was in the credits after her first appearance right after Reckell, they even listed Gabriela instead of just Gabi. I just finished 9/23 episode and Banus is listed after Reckell before Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jennerz Posted September 28, 2015 Members Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's not for sure, but JC said at a fan event he was only back for three months. Then Dena gave some weird private Facebook interview I guess where someone asked if Shelle were back for good or just visiting and her response was something along the lines of "this is THE return of Shelle with a little bit of Philip. Yes, Jason as Shawn and Martha as Belle. We'll see how long that casting lasts." So it was a strange comment given the question didn't even ask about casting yet she threw that in there.

Members FrenchFan Posted September 28, 2015 Members Share Posted September 28, 2015 Which credits do you have? She is not credited in the episodes I am watching Please register in order to view this content I can't paste the next screen, I don't know why... It's Reckell, Martinez, Stowers then SSH and John Aniston so neither Banus nor Penghlis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjjg Posted September 28, 2015 Members Share Posted September 28, 2015 Judi Evans? They just brought on Wally on contract. Xander's done? So he's just gone to jail for a crime he didn't do and that's it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
