ITA with all of these for ATWT and AMC. I'd also add Luke for ATWT and Henry.

Rick Bauer w/o Mel and Leah

Alexandra Spaulding

Lillian Raines

Holly

Vanessa

Alan-Michael

For the three that I watch...

Days:

Caroline

Victor, but I agree with Mulder that I don't think he's backburner that much anymore, but they could use him more.

Billie! I want to see a REAL story line with Pinson already!

Celeste

Maggie

Passions:

Ivy

Julian

Eve

Simone

Noah

GH:

Monica

Bobbie

Alan

Robin/Patrick....we still don't get to see enough of these two!

Edward

Epiphany(i just love her)

Kelly Lee

Helena

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS

Ji Min Kim

Gina Roma

Esther Valentine

Vincent

Mary Williams

Mamie Johnson

Traci Abbott

Doris Collins

Are half those characters even on a burner? I think that Mary, Mamie and others are long gone. They'd fit better into a "Who should return?" category than a topic about backburner/frontburner, unfortunately.

General Hospital:

Edward Quartermaine

Alan Quartermaine

Monica Quartermaine

Ned Ashton

Bobbie Jones

Noah Drake

Robert Scorpio

Epiphany

Kelly Lee

Lainey Winters

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Victor Kiriakis

Um... how TF is Victor on the backburner when he's integral to one of the central stories on the show right now? Sorry if his airtime was cut down in the past month, but that hardly warrants this topic, IMO,

And Dr. Berman has never been a viable character to begin with, so he's not really on a burner. He's just there.

DAYS

Maggie

Julie

ATWT's Colleen Zenk-Pinter is not backburnered per se, but she's not on as much as she used to be. Barbara needed a rest after she became insane, and they've humanized her, but now that that's over I think she should be frontburner again.
