Members Mason Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think since Stephanie is already here, they might as well recast her now rather than go to the trouble of writing her out and then back in again. But I am all for a recast period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 I get the feeling a recast will come later and they are just dropping the character. The deep, dark secret may play a part in her leaving or she may just leave once Steve and Kayla are together and he has his memories. There is no one they are pairing her with seemingly and she has little purpose right now so they will probably rest the character and bring her back in the future. I don't mind if they recast or go with dropping her. I like Shayna but it is clear Hogan thought it was the wrong time to bring her on and didn't like the previous regime putting her on so I think the character is done for now if she leaves.

Members Ponz Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 I agree, PR. I think it could be a while before they recast the part. It's interesting that none of these rumours have mentioned anything about a recast. When Jason and Kyle announced their departures, it was immediately suggested the parts would be recast. HS probably feels the character needs a breather since they made such a mess of her introduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well HS said in that video interview (at Soapnet.net I think) that he was putting the younger characters lovelife kind of on a hold for a while. He also said he loved Shayna and when he was gonna start writing for her we were gonna love her as well. So I'm guessing HS didn't have much to do with her being fired. That is if her being fired really is the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members px780 Posted November 26, 2006 Members Share Posted November 26, 2006 I hope Lexie goes out with a bang, if she must go. Like someone else, I'm a bit concerned about the domino effect taking all the Black actors off the show, since she's the key point in the triangle. Except as pertains to Tek. I still feel that Tek and Patrick are the same basic character and need to go away. About Shayna/Stephanie- I'm kinda glad. I think I'd rather the show focus on a smaller group of characters, particularly with respect to the younger set. And I'd rather they give airtime to Abby, played by an actress I like better. Honestly, I think it'd be interesting if they killed Stephanie off. And Willow...yeah. I would prefer Lauren the surrogate- she rocks. But Willow feels like a good short-term character to me, so they can keep her and dump some others if they must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted November 26, 2006 Members Share Posted November 26, 2006 Why is it that people often thinks it's a great idea to kill a character off if they want him/her to leave? Why can't she just leave? So silly. imoPersonally I don't think it would be interesting to kill her off at all. I want Steve to get to know his little girl, and I really don't want Kayla to go through another loss. I rather see a re-cast in a while if Shayna is out.

Members px780 Posted November 26, 2006 Members Share Posted November 26, 2006 Leaving is cool, but it's easy, imho. And a well-timed, real death can bring good storyline. I like the idea of how tragic it would be to kill off Steve and Kayla's daughter- who he remembers, who's been her connection to Steve for years. I'd also like to watch the actors in that kind of storyline. Silly? Maybe. But, imho, might as well take advantage of one of the recent departures to do something other than "I'm leaving town now for some contrived reason, probably a job offer" (see: Austin, Carrie, Frankie, Jack, Jenn).

Members much debate Posted November 28, 2006 Members Share Posted November 28, 2006 In the checkout line at the grocery store today, I flipped through the current edition of Soap Opera Digest, and one of the headlines was about a Days actor being fired. Had to flip lots of pages, but it verified that Lexie is gone. I didn't read much more than that, so I don't know what the exit will be or if there will be a recast.

Members Cheyenne Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 I get what you're talking abuot, and I garee to some points. But I just think it's so funny when people don't like a character or actor/actress they want them dead. So drastic. I just think it's better to have a character like Stephanie to just leave instead of dying. Because since she's Steve & Kayla's daughter there's always a possibility for her to come back. And I think its better if she didn't came back from the dead like every other soap character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ademption Posted November 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 Wardrobe lady posted on the today's board again and I asked her whether we should expect to hear about any more firings and this was her response: http://www.w3pg.com/w3-cgi/getmsg.pl/3/5962.html So I wonder when the next announcement will be made and who will it be?

Members Ponz Posted November 29, 2006 Members Share Posted November 29, 2006 The last thing this show needs is another high profile departure. TPTB really need to cool it with the pink slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
