Please note that the role if Molly Brady-Murphy, Shawn Brady Sr's previously mentioned sister and the mother of Colin Murphy, will not be cast at this time. However, she will be cast sometime in the future. "We have something in mind for her but we just aren't ready to introduce the character onto the canvas yet. We definitely see potential in bringing her on as some of the hints dropped by the previous regimes have proved intriguing so we plan to use all that. Fans will begin to learn more about Molly and what she is all about at the funeral," says executive producer Ned Yadroc. It should also be noted that the show plans to address the absence of Colin Murphy during the special week as well.

Days is also proud to announce that the door is being left open for many of these characters to return at a later time. However, one of these characters will stay on after the funeral and will be a recurring player in story for the forseeable future. Stay tuned to see who. All these characters will attend the funeral services and reception, which will air from August 14-18, as previously mentioned. This week will also be pivotal to all the huge stories going on and will open doors to future stories. The returning characters will all be featured, although some more then others since there will be so many. "It was very hard to get people like Jed Allen and Patsy Pease. We will be writing Patsy's condition into story and she is fine with it. We are happy to have her. Lucky for us all these actors had some time available and were able to do this. These returns will be a real treat to long time and new fans alike," enthuses Yadroc.

Once again to sum up the event, the funeral begins on the August 14 episode of Days and the event will play out until August 18. There will also be a reception too where fans will see these guests interact with current members of the cast. As previously mentioned, one character from the guest list will be remaining after this week for an unspecified period of time but the door will be kept open for the rest of the guests to return in the future. Days has taken steps to hint at a few possible stories during this event so that story possibilities are open for these characters. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS STAR-STUDDED EVENT-IT'S ALL PART OF A AMAZING AUGUST ON DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!!!

(Just post who you think would be best for the roles not cast in the comments section. I just am looking for reader interaction for fun. I am aware I did this same thing in my previous blog but this will be different and more large scale obviously with more deaths. You will have until Wednesday August 9 to voice your thoughts on these casting decisions. I look forward to your ideas!!!)
