I'm sure the top actors aren't too happy about that, but I think it's actually to the show's benefit. It's too easy to get burnt out on certain characters if you're seeing them 3 days a week or more, and it can cause writers to either burn through stories too quickly for those characters or pace them glacially as JER did. 

I believe this is the problem with days. People are shown to little to get people invested in storylines. They should always have at least one front burner storyline  on 4 days a week. 
 

Jennifer and Jack are having a storyline and still you see them only 2 times a week. That’s to a point where people don’t care anymore because you don’t need to watch the snow everyday. 
 

All the guest players are fine but not just to be on for a few days. Cut some actors from the cast that don’t have a reason to stay in Salem en focus more on the big storylines. 

Damn I hate that JJ is leaving already. So much storyline potential.

I have to say Days of our lives is good right now. But it's moving to slowly. I guess they have to do that because of the budget and not being able to tape 8-12 shows a week because of Covid-19 protocol. Or are they back already at there fast taping? You can watch half of the scenes of an episode and know what's happening. Those scenes between Roman and Rafe, it took a whole episode for Rafe to find out what happend to Hope, what easily could have been 2 scenes in the boring park.

I loved the Devereaux family bonding scenes. Gabby back to the Dimera mansion will give a new spin to Gwen's plans.

It's too bad that some storylines like the Jan storyline are moved so fast, but they take so much time for a reveal to Rafe that could have had less airtime.

So JJ is gone, hope Chloe stays longer. 

I love JJ back and how he and Abby went to Jack at the end of the episode. I hope he’s here for a long time. 
 

would It be weird JJ and Chloe together? 
 

I do think Cady is doing great as Jennifer but I would have loved to see Melissa playing this. They finally gave Jennifer and her family something to do and I think this story will be here for a while. Maybe some reveal at New Year’s Eve?

The whole wedding is so plot driven it’s hard to invest. They should have done more with this storyline and wait for 3 months before the wedding. Kept Jan closer to Claire to find out more. Jan could manipulate Claire to get what she wants. 
 

What now? It’s probably all done in a few episodes. and Jan leaves town. Shawn and Belle Will be gone as well? 
 

Even if Shawn and Jan marry there is still so much storyline potential. Look at B&B Ridge and Shauna. Or Jan could kidnapp Shawn after the wedding with potentially hurting Belle. They go on a honeymoon or whatever. 
 

so why not more ?

Looks like Jennifer finally gets a big storyline and Melissa Reeves is not there

I do have to say  I really like Jennifer with Daniel.

In my opinion they didn't need to bring back Jack, but now it's time for Peter Dimera to come back. It will give lots of storyline for Jack & Jennifer and maybe even give Peter & Abby a romantic storyline. Or Abby falls in love with Peter's son.

I hope Melissa returns and they finally give her a new storyline. Jack and Jennifer haven’t been used a lot this year. 
 

Jennifer is on so little.  Hope we get to see her more when Casey and Abigail return but also like her to have her own story again. It’s time to bring Peter DiMera back, played by someone like Roger Howarth

I’m so afraid most of the returns that are coming are shot term  

Will  Ava get the KA promised NAVY storyline 

Where can we read the article from SOD online? Im curious

Too bad most of those returns are for small parts of one or two storylines.

Wish some could return fulltime so we start to invest and love those characters again.

i was afraid they would try Hope and Rafe to get back together and I think that one of the things Kristian Alfonso hated.

Also Gwen kissing Chad way to soon

Noo on Eve getting back.

Please give Kate something better to do then Abe

The Allie stuff sounds promising.

Sadly I havent watch Days of our lives in years, but I still seep up with reading articles. this board and watching promos. Im sad to hear Kristian Alfonso is leaving, I think Hope belongs on the show. I know about the storylines aren't the best and the budget isn't there anymore, but I believe there is a lot more story for Hope then for Kayla and Steve or John and Marlena. I think Kristian is right that the writers failed with Aiden and Rafe. There was some spark and connection. I do believe a new love interest would be awesome.

In my opinion Days is too much about plot twist then about characters and who they are and what they want in life. The story should be more about the characters we started to love and care about. Kristian sounds nothing but thankful about her time on the show and she is in her right to be upset about being asked to leave for 4-5 months. Who said she was going to be asked back if the writers didn't want to write the promised story 10 months ago. 

I'm afraid something is coming up that brings Hope & Rafe back together and they leave together and they use that. Hope would never go back to Rafe.
