Sami was the bad girl that stayed coming out on top until Lauren Koslow showed up as Kate Roberts.  

OLTL 

• Drew Buchanan 

Days

• Eric Brady was MIA for years, most of the 90's and 2000's.  The show seems to do right by the character now. 
• Shawn Brady, he was a big deal during the last blast days, unlike Bo, he was not able to carry decades of storylines
• Lucas Roberts - UNDERVALUED.  

Krista Tesreau was a different character than Andrea Evan's Tina.  

Krista Allen was not the same Billie as LR and JP.  Once LR returned she played a differect character as well.  

Robin Strasser was NOT Vivian Alamain.  

Days:

• Carly Manning replaced Hope Brady, while Billie Reed took over for both Carly and Hope. All three women shared an uncanny resemblance. Recasting Hope with Chystal Chappell or Lisa Rinna could have easily achieved the same effect. To distinguish the three characters, Billie needed a confidence boost and became kind of devious, and Carly, upon her return, became edgier. This was because Hope, Carly, and Billie essentially portrayed the same character with varying backstories.
   
• Charlotte Ross's Eve Donovan was the blueprint for the character that eventually blossomed into Sami Brady.
   
• Nicole Walker's early days felt like a Billie Reed rehash. Similar backgrounds – simple girls from afar with overprotective brothers – made it hard not to draw the comparison.
