Members billyjill Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Precisely. Marlena has very little for storyline and her share of detractors but the fact remains that firing her would be really symbolic of coming in and trying to change Days. That rarely goes over well with fans of any soap and with recent history being what it is, Days fans are edgier than most. While she of the big 6 would pose the biggest challenge to me if I was a writer on the show, that's just not the only consideration here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 Renée is a darn god actress, true. But Deidre Hall & Kristian Alfonso are more popular, with both Marlena and Hope arguably the most popular female characters in DAYS lifespan, along with Julie, Alice & Maggie. Kam Haskin playing Marlena???!! Yeah right. She's just a few years older than Ali Sweeney(Sami). Priscilla Garita is about 15 years younger than Kristian Alfonso, and couldn't play mother to Shawn. Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 None of the big six are gonna be recast. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted November 30, 2006 Members Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm sorry but if shows can recast front burner characters who are fan favourites like Carly Corinthos (multiple times), Cassie Winslow, Victoria Newman, Clint Buchanan and Todd Manning then they can sure as hell recast a supporting character like Lexie Carver. Sure, Renee Jones has been loyal to the show and is popular with the fans, but for all we know the show could have asked her to take a pay cut and she could have refused. We dont know what goes on behind the scenes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billyjill Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 They could recast but why? If it's for the Dimera storyline then why not keep her on until that's over? It's not like it's going to last forever, and with upcoming budget cuts coming up money will be saved somewhere. Surely they could've at least (and possibly will) used the storyline to stage her exit, and beyond the storyline why is she essential? I don't understand the point of recasting Lexie.

Members sungrey Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 My smart money is on either Suzanne Rogers, James Reynolds or Lauren Koslow to be written off. If it's Suzanne, I'd hate to see her go, but all you'd have to do is get John Clarke back as Mickey for one or two days, say Melissa or Sarah is ill in Tennessee, and off they go (to maybe make return appearances as story warrants). If it's James, I'd also see it coming in story. Lauren is a great actress, but what more can Kate do now that all of her plots have basically been exposed? If it's one of the Big Six or Ali/Bryan, then this show's ratings would take a huge hit. That's the last thing Days needs at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ademption Posted December 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Days of our Lives Doctor Checking Out http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?t...ssDate=12345678 I'm surprised by how silent the show is about this latest firing. I wish the Days' press relations people would start communicating with fans what's going on with the show..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
