Why though? Just asking for you to elaborate not mad lol. I just think I see it because of the Kirsten Storms connection and she has an actual pulse unlike MM.

CC had good chemistry with all her leading men. I even thought she had a smidge of chemistry with GG/Rafe. Mike/Carrie was a bit creepy on paper, but it was nice to rid her of dumb Austin for a second. And I did like how the show played it similar to the Roman/Marlena/John affair.

I like CB/Gabi. I don't love her, but I have always mostly enjoyed the character. I am open to a recast, but I almost feel it's unnecessary. You are just giving Rafe and Stefan more importance. It's a real shame about CC/Carrie because she absolutely should be leading the show. I miss her so much. While I appreciate AS/Sami and think Sami should be on the show, Carrie was the heart. MM's Belle could never live up to what Carrie already was.

My MM hate is pretty long standing and won't change. She's just not what I want for John/Marlena's daughter although I do think she's a decent actress and looks the part.

Super fair to say. I think Days was like both were on GH? Cool. I do think BB has really great chemistry with CB so I can see why they kept him. She's gone now, so I don't see a reason now lol

Lilley would have been AWESOME as Belle! MM is just so boring to me, but whatever. I want Marlena/John's kid to be cool and MM is just the blandest of bland. I do think she's a decent actress though. I'll consider GT as Belle.😂 Cassie just feels like the easiest Kate child to recast. AT didn't make a huge impression or anything and you could easily find someone new. She's the right age to be in the mix with Sarah, Xander, Brady, Eric, etc and I feel like she's the least defined Kate child. But also the least important. GT for Cassie!!!

Barash and Tyler are sooooo different. Tyler just brought an inherent sophistication to the role, like Nikolas, while Barash almost feels more middle class? I am sure that sounds awful, but Jake was probably more in his wheelhouse. I know BB played JZ on GH and he was rich-he just comes off more working class and like a guy you would have a beer with. It's not a bad thing exactly. Tyler just comes off more European and classy.

Deidre was really good on Wiseguy playing Tim Curry's wife. I don't even know if I have seen an episode of OUR HOUSE tbh lol. It had some future famous actors in the mix and DH so I assume it was amazing.

I would personally dump Stefan. BB seems like a nice enough guy but the character can go. He's just a rando Stefano kid (like Chad) and EJ is just more important. I don't know if we are supposed to connect the dots exactly with EJ/Kristen. Kristen literally was his adoptive mom for a minute, but I think the actors are just too close in age to reference that and have it make sense. Jen Lilley would have been gold as Belle! But I love Jen Lilley for some reason. It was an obvious jump from her playing Maxie to Belle because of KS. I don't think you can ever recast Carrie at this point because of Christie Clark. She's in a KMC/Robin mold to me. It's truly sad to me because 25 years ago I would believe CC's Carrie would be the lead heroine on the show today if asked.

Did you just shade Deidre's primetime career?😂 Have you not seen the classic show called "Our House"? "Never say never: the Deidre Hall Story"?

Jack's return was clunky, but MA always plays Jack a little awkward and clumsy if that makes sense? I always thought LA's exit was due to Alarr but it was just based off those blind items. Kate has sooooo many kids to choose from too! Lol. I can't believe they have never even tried to recast Cassie. It seems like a super easy thing to do. I get the notion that Eric/Sami are more important, but Belle is like the forgotten child even though her birth drove story for about 15 years lol. I know it's because MM is boring AF, but she's not a bad actress. Belle has just always been ill defined even going back to Storm's take on the character.

I am not exactly mad about that? Idk, I just really disliked all things Julian. Maybe Ava is just protecting them from a far.

Shawn slept with Jada's sister though....ewww. But Shawn's still better than Rafe lol It's bizarre a show can't commit to Bo/Hope's first child and John/Marlena's only biological child. It's really insanity there is "no place for them on the canvas". Also, slightly hilarious Belle is "too busy" to take on Eric's divorce so EJ has to lol

Donna, I agree with you. I just don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's talk about the show. Maybe they will tell their story now or come back. You know my disdain for MM's Belle, but Marlena is really going to need one child on the canvas. I hope they can work something out with her.

No, you aren't the only one. I thought Mansi/Flynn had decent chemistry, but Chad/Abby aren't the couple they are built up to be. I think Billy Flynn brings more to the character because he's a good actor, but Chad is kind of a dud. Chad/Abby do seem to have a decent fanbase though, so I might be missing something.

Yeah, KM probably initially left to try her luck in Hollywood. For some reason I get the vibe that she's just more interested and satisfied playing Kristina on GH. That could just be my own personal taste seeping in because I definitely prefer Kristina to Abby. If firedguy made her leave I can only imagine how many other actresses quietly departed because of that and never got to speak out.

Thank you! You know I vastly prefer Carly to Sam, but Sam was right yesterday. She has deliberately and repeatedly made moves to get away from the mob life while Carly defends it. At this moment it doesn't appear Sam is in danger being related to the Jeromes. Jason being her son's father is currently more problematic.

Cool. I love when internet strangers tell me about my life and rights. Thanks! Let's talk about AZ's political opinions for 100 more posts in the current Days thread because it offends you so much. Just unfollow her and dislike her. I get it. She's the worst. Moving on... Mansi jumping right into a contract was suspect to me as well. There had to be a behind the scenes reason. Although she may just think Kristina is a more interesting character and I agree with her. Well, yes, all of the above. I just wonder if Mansi didn't find Abby boring to play. Abby isn't a very exciting character. Miller played the part when she had multiple personalities.

I respect your opinions and I do understand it's a very uncomfortable topic. It just doesn't bother me on the visceral level. It's her thoughts, her opinions, her views, whatever. Do I agree? No, but it really doesn't bother the way I view Nicole. YMMV, and I am certainly not taking that away from you. I just think the tone of these post are like Arianne Zucker is a trashbag human because she aligns with Trump. And I 100% disagree with her views, but I am not going to vilify her for it. It is what it is she'll be gone in about 10 days.

It's not really Carly's problem at all, but Sam explained that Jason didn't listen to her and did listen to Carly. It's not entirely rational and Sam should go to Jason herself, but she did explain it pretty clearly.

Yeah, I knew her situation was pretty unstainable because she lived out of state and had very young kids. I don't shame her at all for her choice, but it's weird she/Days entered the whole situation in the first place. He only uses OATMILK!!! Shame him! Just like stop. Unless you fully know AZ you can't just literally judge her. Is it off putting? Absolutely. But we have no evidence she is a bad human. How is it your business? Lol I just don't understand making it so personal. She's an actress, you don't have to agree with her or like her. But I don't think politics belong in the regular Days thread. I am not going to burn her at the stake for being Republican because it's a why do you care situation.

Wait you don't know MM's political stance? I shame you 😂. You need to know this info to judge their work on a fictional soap!!!!! She was so vanilla and boring to me. I won't miss her. Not a bad actress, just not very dynamic or exciting IMO.

I don't hate AZ for being Republican. It's not a huge deal for me even if I am not. It's not my business. MM wanting to go recurring is a miss for me. There is no way Abby could just go along being a character that is shown 4 times a month. I just think if I told me job, "yeah, just want to be part time"- they would laugh at me. I don't think killing her off was the best move, but I'll see how it goes.

I don't know how anyone in the year 2024 could defend Carly's parenting. She's awful. At least Sam is actively trying to be better.

Why would Sam even want Carly as a friend lol? The bomb for Morgan was meant for Sonny. That's sorta Sam's entire point. She's not going to stand by like Carly and let a bomb meant for Jason to go off on her son. And I don't even like Sam. She had points today. ETA-apparently the bomb wasn't meant for Sonny and it was some other form of revenge, but point still stands.
