B&B Cast Changes:

I hope that TPTB are willing to make some cast changes. First off I would like to see Thomas, Clarke and Dr. Mark MacClaine back on contract status.

Next I think they should get rid of: Jackie, Hector, Felicia, Dante and their kid(No deaths, just moving).

Next I would like to see return: Deacon(Sean Kanan), Amber(Adrienne Frantz), Oscar(Brian Gaskill), Rick(Justin Torkildsen), Storm Logan(I would like to see Matt Ashford, about to be ex- Jack on Days, in this role), Zach Hamilton(I would like to see Thaao Penghlis, ex- Tony on Days in the role) , Gaby and Caitlin.

Storyline proposals:

Deacon: he returns to LA to see his daughter Hope. He still has a mean streak and a thing or two for Brooke. He is now active in real-estate and is quite successful at it.

Oscar: After Massimo’s death he becomes the Vice-President at Marone Industries and decides to wage war against Nick for the position of CEO. He still has feelings for Bridget and picks up the pieces for her went Dante leaves Bridget.

Rick: After a break from the company he decides to return at FC.

Gaby and Caitlin(I liked the original actresses, but I could live with recasts. For example Alexis Thorpe(Ex-Cassie Days)): Caitlin has returned from New York and meets up with Gaby. They decide to share a Penthouse in LA. Gaby discovers that she still has feelings for Thomas, but realizes she is not the only one. Caitlin is torn between her feeling for Rick and Thomas.

Save the best for last:

Amber: She will be re-introduced in Milan. FC is having troubles staying healthy. After Darla’s death Thorne throws himself at work and figures out that there is a designer working in Europe whose company is taking away FC’s market share. He takes Thomas, Ridge, and Eric to Milan where they figure out who the designer is behind the company Amora: Ambrosia Moore. Amber is changed a bit, she still has a hard edge and quite a mean streak. However, she has given up on obsession to become a mother. She has become a skilful businesswoman who speaks various languages including Spanish and Italian. Ridge makes her an offer she can’t refuse, she gets her own line and 4% of the shares in FC. She decides to return to LA.

Storm Logan: Attorney at Law. Is introduced when Stephanie tries to get FC back from Brooke. He will compete with Zach Hamilton. He also owns part(lets say 25%) of a newspaper and uses his influence there to run stories about Forrester cover-ups in the past.

Zach Hamilton: Also a lawyer. He is Stephanie’s legal adviser in the law suit against Brooke. He also defends his sister Taylor at her trial for the vehicular manslaughter of Darla. Zach is politically connected and owns another newspaper and nightclub. The rivalry with Storm goes into high gear

Note about Zach: since I’ve only watched since 1997 I don’t know(or remember) if Zach ever appeared on-screen. If not, I want TPTB to change his name to Craig, Robert, Andrew, Antony or Victor. These names would suite him better, but that’s just my two cents.

Couples I’d like to see:

Deacon/Brooke

Oscar/Bridget

Rick/Caitlin

Thomas/Amber or Gaby

I agree with alot of your cuts. Although, I'd like to see Jackie stay and given a good storyline.

I agree that dead weight, Hector and Dante should go but asside from Deacon the rest should just stay gone. Gaby and Caitlin were useless characters that never went over. Amber more than wore out her welcome and Rick was too boring for a soap. The only reason Deacon should return would be to take Hope away from her fake daddy, Nick, although the role should be re-cast.

Matt Ashford would make a terrible Storm Logan, IMO. Storm is supposed to be muscular, hunky, protector and gate-keeper of his family. Or at least that was my impression.

Matt Ashford doesn't play wimpy characters, but he doesn't play "solid as a rock" either.

Dean Cochran(SOAPSTAR) is the kind of guy I see playing Storm Logan. And he looks younger than Katherine Kelly Lang also. Isn't Brooke the oldest of everyone in the family anyway?

Anyhoo...I don't think any cast changes(additions or returns) should be made until another Head-Writer takes over. But, that will never happen, so whatever.

Dimera Phoenix: good ideas, especially bringing back my favorite soap hunk Sean Kanan.

I too think Breacon could be resurrected - those KKL/Kanan scenes are probably the hottest I've ever seen on a soap.

Matt Ashford would be a perfect Storm Logan(he has some history with Hunter Tylo).

And, he is definitely not a wimp. When Matt's Jack Deveraux first came on DAYS in the mid 1980s, the character was a real nasty piece of work. Matt can do a lot more than goofy Jack, and he doesn't look too bad shirtless either.

I think Matt Ashford would be a perfect Storm Logan. I could see him with chemistry with both Hunter Tylo and Lesli Kay. Plus, a good sibling relationship with KKL.

I would love Sean Kanan back as Deacon and I want him to bring Amber. I want them to take down the Forresters. I would like to see Oscar too. They can recast him if Brian Gaskill doesn't want to come back.

Stunt casting doesn't always work. Cut your losses.

I love Lesli Kay as Felicia and Antonio Sabato, Jr. as Dante, and Lesley Anne Down is fabulous but underused. Hector can go. As for bringing back Oscar, WHY? The actor was awful and sounded like he had marbles in his mouth whenever he talked. Amber definitely needs to come back. She was a rare commodity on B&B in that she was the next generation yet she actually worked as a character (B&B has so much trouble with that younger set.) But of course they had no idea what to do with her.

Note about Zach: since I’ve only watched since 1997 I don’t know(or remember) if Zach ever appeared on-screen. If not, I want TPTB to change his name to Craig, Robert, Andrew, Antony or Victor. These names would suite him better, but that’s just my two cents.

Zach Hamilton was a contract role in 1992, played by Michael Watson. He was involved with Felicia and they left town together in December 1992.

That was his opening picture.

B&B needs to re-establish the Spectra clan, and eliminating almost the whole second and third generation (Amber, Rick, Kimberly, CJ, Thomas, Caitlin etc) was a huge mistake.
