I don't think the show needs Stefano. Personally, I want him back, but I think DH's right in that there would be both a massive response postively AND negatively. People are either desperate to have him back, or sick to death of Stefano constantly returning.

And I like EJ, so I don't mind. As long as Tony doesn't come back. I do wish Joe would take the two day deal, because I really wanna see Deidre, Drake and Joe in the same scene again... They're so awesome together

Doesn't anyone care that Shefshit is trashing the hell out of The Killing Pool storyline?

Shefshit?

You don't like it when we call JER fat and a bad writer...

Not sure if y'all saw this yet, but here's a link to the Stephano/J&M article from next week's SOD:

It was Deirdre Hall who said that Joe's coming back wasn't needed now...

Also, if peeps want to knock Hogie, I don't think the weight thing is the way to go. I think my favorite put down of HS was a few years back when someone called him a 3rd rate Stephen King wannabe or something to that effect. Much more original... LOL!!!

Thanks for that link ademption... it explains everything.

I Agree completely with both Corday, Hall and Mascolo. Like I said Mascolo needs to be back for a SL not a stunt and obviously they didn't have one planned out for him which is probably what caused the delay. I'm extremely happy about this. I guess this also confirms that Mascolo is NOT coming back right now and that these cast cuts are not for him. They've already made him alive so we know he can be back at anytime. Deidre is right the show needs to regains it fans, bringing back actors without storylines will not do that. DAYS was burnt with that with Frankie, Austin, Carrie, etc.

It also sounds like he most certainly is coming back which is good also... he needs a SL and I hope Hogan can pen one for him.

Maybe Lexie is indeed going to renurse him back to health.

Just wanted to let you know that NBC update has been added with scenes of Shawn telling Willow to hit the road, Sami listens to EJ's phone call to Stefano and J&M scene with Stefano.

Here's the link:
