The only problem I've had with Eric Martsolf ever being on the show is that with his casting they aged Brady way too much. I know this is DAYS, but I'm still going to hate every individual SORAS'ing blunder no matter what level of asinine, with EJ obviously being the stupidest.

This is true, they aged Brady 10 years older that the group he was suppose to be in.

I could do without Rafe and Ava. I just can't get interested. And, with that $$ new blood could be brought in. I think both actors are great, but the characters just seem played out.

I would still love to see Sarah and Jennifer brought back full-time. I really enjoyed Sarah/Xander, and I LOVED CM as Jennifer. For the first time in years, Jennifer was compelling.

I also think bringing in an aged Sami-like Sydney would be a great move. I could see a Tripp/Sydney/Allie triangle that would give Carrie/Austin/Sami vibes. Of course, you'd have the Johnny/Chanel complication, too, for them to mix it up together. And, I'd bring back Theo full-time.  That would give them 6 younger leads for the next generation. I don't count CIN. All they do is have sex, and Ciara tells him it's okay he's a serial killer.

And, I still say that Johnny looks suspiciously a LOT more like Lucas than EJ.

 

 

Honestly, if I were the HW, the characters of Rafe, Brady and Nicole would be retired and written off.

I would kill off Rafe, in some Police shoot out. I would have Brady, ran off and search for Kristin, however ala Soap style, have his plane explode and not found. I would have Nicole go to South Africa and try to win Eric back. I wrote this on another board.

I would bring back Carrie, Austin, Will and Sonny. I would age Noah between the ages of 16 to 18, to be a troubled kid. Getting kicked out of school, getting arrested. Carrie and Austin just don't know what to do with him anymore and its causing an issue in their marriage. We have Noah, who becomes fascinated with the Dimera family and its history and becomes EJ's protégé, something that his own son doesn't doesn't want to be part of.

This would lead to, which should have been done years ago, Carrie and Anna resolving their issues with each other, since Anna left her as a young girl. Add in Kate, who loves to get involved in her kids lives. Some good drama between Anna, Kate and Carrie. During this time, Austin just can't deal and decides to starting boxing again and Carrie, trying to save her son from EJ, becomes involve with him.

I would bring in Rachel as well, however, she wants nothing to do with her mother Kristen and the Dimera name, but starts to fall for Noah and tries to redeem him. I would also introduce Tyler Kiriakis into the mix as well, who has a thing for Rachael and dislikes both the Dimera and Kiriakis family name and their legacy and tries destroy the two families, after he finds out his mother Mimi was murdered (off screen) by EJ along with Zanders help.

I would also add Sydney into this bunch. Have her be the quiet shy girl, however she has a deep dark secret. She is out for revenge against her father EJ and teams up with Tyler to destroy both the Dimera and Kiriakis empires with the help of Ava. Make Ava bad again.

Why are we seeing smirky Will? Of course Chandler will take any job and copy Freddie who, last Christmas, wouldn't come back to the studio but said if you can skype me in, I'll do it. Chandler is copying Freddie. I love Freddie Smith's channel. Well worth the $$. He tells it like it is. Days wanted him back and he said no. Onward & upward Freddie. He is missed at Days.

I believe the actor who plays Will is living or working in Atlanta now, so probably when they filed that scene, he wasn't in LA.

I like Martha as Belle. Always have.

Same, just wished they give her a better storyline. Maybe a triangle with Carrie and EJ? lol

Already done with this storyline... new head writer, please!

and your point? Soaps rehash storylines over and over again. They been on for years and clearly the networks like the old stale format from 30 years ago.

Yes, great find.  I completely forgot about that scene.  I have seen them all at the hospital and it absolutely slipped my mind.   I would assume they had a few more before Anna left and Carrie stayed with RoJohn.  

Holy Crap, I just Googled it and Christie did start in 1986..wow!

Really missed opportunity there with having Anna on the canvas in the early 90s. I would've enjoyed seeing Anna go up against a teenage Sami lol

Isn't this like the second or third time they actually ever has scenes together? I know when Anna was on in the 80's, the Carrie was played by the actress who was Kimmy Gibbler. Omg, just thinking Anna during the JER era, her and Kate teaming up and Anna working with Celeste. Would have been great!

   Surprised of the axing of Jamie Gray Hyder,  I really like her on the show. BUT I am SO GLAD that Demore Barnes is OUT.  I never liked him, he is cold, and stiff.   I am wondering who will be coming to the show to take their places in the cast. 

Glad Barnes is out, he was SO boring. Sad about Hyder.

After watching all 5 episodes and than re-watching them, i truly think this should become a spinoff. Do it like they do with other peacock or Netflix shows. Each season, consist of 13 episodes and focus on certain characters. Than can bring back people like Billie, Carrie, Will, etc and other former cast members. They seem to get away with more stuff than on the regular show. Daytime is general has become stale and they don't seem to be taking risks like they did in the 90's or up to the early 00's.

Each season, focus on a certain main storyline and have a whole bunch of current and former cast members be in different seasons.

Loved Bille this time around. Question, has Lisa Rinna ever played along side Peck's version of Austin? I can't remember.

LOL yes on Billie and that damn cop suit. And you nailed it about Rinna.

 

Agreed on Eileen too. I wish there was more for Kristen too. It really is two different Kristen's when it comes to Eileen and Stacy. I'm thrilled we got Eileen as Kristen again. No shade to Stacy intended but Eileen IS Kristen. 

 

Beyond Salem revived my love for all the characters involved. I think we all needed this limited series, as the main show is ... yikes.

Has anyone watched this yet? I actually really liked it, didn't think I would, but I did. Its the only current show on Freeform that I can stand.

I did care for the reboot, pass their prime and they tried to hard to be relevant in todays society. Not going to lie, the characters are just "too old" and doesn't attract the younger audience and its also Network TV. Put it on Hulu or Netflix and it would have been a different story.

Gossip Girl, with a new cast, is returning for 10 episodes. I'm all for new soap operas and I hope they handle this better.

Since it will be on HBO Max, I bet will be a lot more darker and riskier than on the CW, a network TV channel. Just hope they film in NYC and showcase the fashion and the city. It was a big part of the original.

So... its seems to be every story line in all soaps for that last 20 years lol.

I wish they would just tell modern day stories.

Just watched Episode one of the new season.

 

Luke Perry in a coma brought me back to Dylan on 90210 hovering between life and death.  

 

Mark Consuelos as Papi Lodge?  On the fence  there.

 

Not a bad start to the new season.

I am not digging the new season. Its to Clichy and over the top for it. Also not digging the new Reggie recast, dude is a terrible! 

Some of you wouldn't agree with the ending, but I am happy with it.

Showtime only releases Showtime shows to Netflix when they have ended. Makes me wonder if the show is coming to a end.

I binge watch the show a few weeks ago, and fell in love with Richie. I was always rooting for Pat and Richie. Richie is like the guy I would marry.

This and the Catch should have been canceled due to poor ratings

lip is starting to annoy me again. 

i like it to, Tom Ellis and i need to married. Still miss Shay on Chicago fire, but like her on this new show.

We have Negan

It done, hopefully the producers rap everything up.

Finished watching the season last night, SO GOOD!!

While watching it, made me think how better Gotham would have been in Netflix.

The show needs to go back to focusing on half of it being law and the other half being order. To much of their personal lives and I don't care.

Honestly, I don't see it being a hit, a lot of these new shows from all the networks don't seem very worth watching actually.
