These are good ideas. I will definitely pick one of the ones you guys suggest. Maybe I'll get a list and you guys can vote. Phoenix, Alan will be in and out of mine in a snap. I think, anyway. That's the plan.

I want to keep James Scott (E.J.) open in case I want to bring on the character of E.J. too. Who else is there?

HELP RE-CAST ROLE! The Blog is looking to re-cast the role of Alan Harris, previously played by Paul Kersey. The role is set to make a return sometime this summer and will interact heavily with Austin, Carrie, Sami, Lucas, Will, and Cassie.

The FINAL TWO Casualties of the "Ides of May" REVEALED! Josh Taylor (Roman Brady) and Leann Hunley (Anna DiMera) are leaving the show on Friday, June 2nd, marking the end of the "Ides of May" storyline! Roman and Anna will be leaving town together after a devastated and grief-stricken Roman realizes that Salem has nothing much left to offer him and Anna, his last chance at love, is leaving for Europe. This marks the eleventh and twelvth shocking exits from the show this sweeps period. But the blog has decided to focus on a narrow number of cast members for the summer and the fall. "When we brought Anna back on to the canvas in March/April, we knew it was temporary. We wanted Anna to have a hand in Sami's downfall this time around and mix things up there. We also wanted to have her on hand to help Roman exit in the summer. We knew we didn't have room for the character of Roman, and we wanted to write him off in a way that would give some type of closure for fans of the character. He is a character seeped in the history of the show. We wanted to give him a better exit than just having him leave or phase him out! Of course, both characters have strong ties to the show, so the possibility of them returning is always there." In other news, Mary Beth Evans (Kayla Brady) has last aired on Thursday, June 1st, but the show is feverishly working to write Kayla back onto the canvas on a more permanent basis soon. Patsy Pease (Kimberly) last airs on Friday, June 2nd and will leave town with Roman and Anna. "Anna and Roman are going to Europe where we now have Kimberly living with her family. Kimberly could be back sporadically, but we're not working a return for her like we are with Kayla." This marks the end of the sweeps-long umbrella storyline of "The Ides of May!" 1. Thomas "Tek" Kramer "Tek" (Rhasaan Orange) 2. Bonnie Lockhart (Judi Evans) 3. Kim Johnston Ulrich (Ivy Crane) 4. Wayne Northorp (Stefano Dimera as Alex North) 5. Frank Parker (Shawn Brady Sr.) 6.

Rex and Mimi GONE! "Ides of May" victims #9 and #10 are revealed! Farah Fath (Mimi) and Eric Winter (Rex) have last aired as Rex and Mimi, respectively. The blog has been planning Mimi's exit for some time and reveals that Rex's return was catered for this purpose. "The Ides of May storyline had ripple effects for everyone in town and on the show. Rex, of course, was affected by this greatly, as well. He found out that Roman and Kate were not his parents and that his twin sister knew all along that Marlena and Tony were his real parents like originally conceived."...says the writer. "It's a big thing for him. He's had his life turned upside down a lot. It makes sense that he doesn't want to live in this town anymore where he knows that he will never ultimately be happy. As for Mimi, with her brother and mother gone, and Shawn having his hands full with Jan and Belle, there isn't much for her to do around town. This is all in an effort to give stories suitable resolutions but also bring the show/blog in a new direction and focus on a core group of characters. However, I definitely wouldn't rule out a return for them in the future." 1. Thomas "Tek" Kramer "Tek" (Rhasaan Orange) 2. Bonnie Lockhart (Judi Evans) 3. Kim Johnston Ulrich (Ivy Crane) 4.

Farah Fath (Mimi Lockhart) 10. Eric Winter (Rex) 11. ????????? 12. ????????? Only two casualities left...who will be the final two victims!?

Blog Announces BLOG BONUS! Following in the footsteps of NBC soaps, ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Passions’, the blog will be featuring a BLOG BONUS. Beginning Monday, May 29th, the show is going to be featuring a music recommendation at the beginning of each episode for the reader/viewer to download. When the words “BLOG BONUS” appear in the episode, that is when the song would kick up and play, if this were all really to unfold onscreen. “This is another way for readers to get more involved in the blog. The songs and their lyrics are going to provide insight into certain characters’ thoughts, feelings, and emotions.”…says the blog. “Shows like Grey’s Anatomy and One Tree Hill and the O.C. have been integrating music into their shows and proving how powerful the link can be between what we see on screen and what we hear while we see these things unfold. With things like Limewire and I-Tunes, music is more accessible than ever. We hope the readers do download the songs and come along for the ride. If they can get enjoyable music out of the blog, as well as some great DAYS stories, then it’s that much better!” The show is planning on using three songs a week, starting this Monday when the show says goodbye to beloved character, Shawn Brady Sr., during his funeral episode.

SUMMER PREVIEW! John/Marlena: They will definitely be the front burner couple of the summer! They’ve recently received shocking medical news – Marlena’s pregnant! And secondly, Greta’s return will hit them hard. John and Marlena have had a tough year, but unfortunately for them, it won’t be getting any easier as Greta reveals that John is her father! Thirdly, there’s also a huge surprise that will be revealed on the 4th of July, but we shouldn’t say anymore! Billie/Bo/Hope/Liam and Mason, Paige, Zach, J.T.: Everyone will soon know that Paige is the real Georgia. Billie is going to go back to her roots more and more. She is going to be classic Billie. She loves Bo, but she can’t let lying dogs lie when it comes to Liam and Hope. She will continue to try and uncover Liam’s secret. Billie and Hope are going to work hard to try and be friends like they were all of those years ago. On the fourth of July, someone will die – one of the kids. It’s going to be a big story that will take everyone into the fall. Mason, Paige, Zach, and J.T. are all vulnerable. I can tell you that it will be one of them. The real show is doing a story like this, and we aren’t going to do EXACTLY the same thing, but it will have big repercussions for Bo and Hope, nonetheless. Sami/Lucas/Will/Cassie: This is going to be a great story. Lucas and Sami will grow closer, but Will will come between them. As readers now know, WILL IS GAY! He is now being played by newcomer, Taylor Handley (see previous press releases). This secret is really going to tear Sami and Lucas up when they find out. Cassie is going to be worked into this story in an interesting way. This is the first time DAYS has done a gay storyline with one of the show’s core family members. It’s going to be great. Meanwhile, Sami will embark on her most evil plot YET. It's unthinkable. She strikes up an unholy alliance with Annie Douglas (Sarah Buxton) from SUNSET BEACH to do so. Lexie/Abe and Celeste: We know now that Celeste was indirectly responsible for killing her sister and her brother-in-law, Lexie’s guardians, all of those years ago, while she was on a mission for Stefano. Lexie is still reeling from the fact that her own father hired Tek to seduce her and break up her marriage. EVIL LEXIE WILL BE BACK! She's lost her husband. She knows it's because of her father, a person she thinks she should be able to trust. She learns her mother has kept this awful secret. All of this will culminate in the evil Lexie returning. Lexie will really go over the edge! It’s going to become clearer and clearer that Lexie has lost it. She is going to be one of the more interesting characters of the summer as she finds herself once again spiraling down this terrible path. Carrie/Austin: Carrie will continue to be disappointed in Austin for not believing her over Sami. They have trust issues they need to work out before the baby arrives in late August. There’s a huge twist coming to the pregnancy storyline. It will propel Austin/Carrie into the next phase of their lives. You won’t BELIEVE it! Caroline/Victor/Kate: Kate’s secret has been revealed to the audience – she had twins with Stefano Dimera – thirty-some years ago – which makes these twins her eldest children! Kate and Victor are doomed. She is going to become her vengeful self again. Kate is going to learn the identity of at least one of her children, and it’s really going to change her life. Long-time DAYS viewers are in for a treat. Abby/Max/Erika: Abby and Max will have a nice reunion. It will be a love-fest. Cute and romantic. But their lives will be forever changed when the look-alike of her dead best friend, his ex-girlfriend, comes on the scene. Her name is Erika and will be played by the same portrayer of the recently deceased Chelsea – Rachel Melvin. Belle/Shawn/Jan: Jan is going to continue her quest to try and kill Belle as Shawn and Belle grow closer and closer. Don’t expect Jan to go anywhere. She is here to stay. The show is cooking up something *HUGE* for Jan! It’s going to build into the fall. Jan might not be exposed for a while, but she when she is, there is another big story coming her way! The show is bringing on the role of her previously presumed-dead mother, Megan Spears. Melissa/Frankie: Among all the chaos and crisis, another set of Horton/Brady will find love together - Melissa Horton and Frankie Brady! It will build slowly. They will be the cute couple and the saving grace of the summer – proving that at least one couple can find happiness in Salem…for now! Mickey/Maggie/Mystery Man: This storyline is actually going to be back-burnered until the fall. We know Maggie is off recuperating with this strange man (played by Alan Dale) and thinks that Bonnie and Mickey have this wonderful life together in Salem. She doesn’t want to be with Mickey if he didn’t believe her about her drinking. When this story kicks back up in the fall, Maggie will have grown very close to this man! New characters: Michelle Stafford is playing the role of “Paris,” a nurse/caretaker, who has been assigned to John and Marlena by Lexie to care for Marlena during her pregnancy. Gina Tognoni has joined the show as Megan Spears who will impact the storyline of her daughter, Jan, and many others as it is revealed that Mrs. Spears has some plans of revenge. Returning Characters: Eric Brady and Greta Van Amburg have returned on their own terms and for separate reasons, but they’ll slowly find themselves drawn to each other. As for some other returns, we want to focus on the cast we have right now, but we’re planning on F-O-U-R___H-U-G-E returns in August around back-to-school time.
