With all the massive changes happening here on LIS, I thought it was time to release some story previews for 2010. With the recent flurry of casting cuts and newer characters coming on board, I wanted to give fans something to look forward too.

I am trying to get LIS back to family, love and romance. Those three things were seriously lacking when I came on board. Also we will be seeing every cast member have a storyline. Before I came back on board, we would only see so and so one time a month and there story was at a stand still and other stories were some what isolated. All that has changed now. We will see more of an ensemble cast feel. More character interactions to help advance story.

The major storyline on LIS right now is Vivian’s take over of Salem. Almost every single storyline and character will be woven into this umbrella plot. This story is being used as a launch pad to begin new stories and to showcase characters we have not seen in a long time. Vivian just about owns everything in Salem and it’s now time to see the deziens of Salem take back what’s rightfully theirs. There are a lot of surprises in store for this plot. It’s really going to bring the families of Salem to the forefront and play out for some time to come.

Another big storyline I am showcasing right now is the love triangle of Bo/Hope/and Kristen. This story was set up the last time I was CO HW and I am so happy I get to play it up upon my return. This story has so many angles and so many twists but I want to assure the readers of one thing: Kristen will NOT be the villain in this one, nor will it be Hope. Also there is another character coming back to Salem that will blow this story right out of the water. Stay tuned for that.

In an effort to par down the cast and broaden the story base, another round of cuts will take place VERY SOON. LIS was extremely bloated when I came back. A lot of these characters were non essential players and it drained the story base.

Also to help build up the families in Salem; since LIS has said goodbye to icons like, Marlena, John, Stefano, and Victor to name a few, I am bringing back some cast members that I am sure will make readers happy. These characters that will return will help the story base and compliment what I have in place.

One last teaser, 2010 will be the year of the Hortons. They will be front and ceneter.

It’s going to be an exciting ride teases HW ML Cooks.
