Members KLN Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 What the hell is up with everyone choosing people who look way too old to play Jennifer? LoL I don't care if they're near the same age as Missy, because Missy has a fresh-faced appeal to her. Jensen Buchanan, Sandra Ferguson and Schae Harrison all look way, way, way too old for the role. Just because they're blonde it doesn't make them right for the role, LoL. I'm thinking someone more along the lines of Terri Colombino or Rebecca Budig.

Members darraholic Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Terri & Rebecca are far too young. I can't see them married to Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 lol Kenny. I agree with you about some of those mentioned are too old. But Terri is far too young looking which isn't that strange since she's 8 years younger then Missy. Budig could work though. Yes, she looks a little young but she got that pretty pretty face sort of like Missy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Budig, would be a terrible choice, IMO. First, she looks WAY too young to play Abby's mother and Jack's wife. Second, is there not a budget issue currently on this show? Then again, ALL of these suggested actresses would come with a hefty price tag, therefore it makes more sense to leave Jennifer off if they can't get MR back.

Members Mitchapalooza Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Jensen would be a great recast for Jennifer IMO! Perhaps she is a TAD bit too old, but she would look great next to Matt's Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Of course MR wont come back. She and her family built and moved to a new house in Nashville so she could be near her hubby. She made it quite clear she wants to be a stay at home mom for now. Yes there's a budjet issue. We're just discussing who would be a good re-cast (or atleast I am) whether or not DAYS could afford her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RionPassions Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I don't think Jennifer should be or needs to be recast...like I said, kill her off, and then bring her back for a few months in 2009 when the show's about to go off the air. I'm sure Melissa will return for a short stint that ties into Day's series finale in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane4life Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm curious RION, how would you bring her back from the dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ridge Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 None of these J&J rumors really pan out. BUT, if the show is in such a budget crisis that it can not feature stars/actors/characters that are already on their payroll and are getting paid despite not getting airtime/storylines, why would it make any sense to bring back Jennifer? Would it be pleasing a fanbase? No... the J&J fans are burnt and have been saying for a while that Jack can return without Jennifer. Would it accomplish anything more, considering Jack and Jennifer have not been written for properly in over what... 5 years? And then Jensen is fabulous, I loved her as Sarah on OLTL but she is obviously not cheap. This is pretty big casting news, IMO, even though it is a rumor, and it seems bigger than the show itself right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 I wouldn't be so sure of that, Phoenix. To be fair, NEITHER of us knows what it is. No spoilers have indicated anything. Still, if I were a parent, what would make me leave my PASSION of journalism in London, to go back to the country to help my daughter, who has a "shocking " profession? Why would I travel that far? Because she's working at McDonald's? no, that's not shocking. Because she's a maid in a hotel? No, still not shocking. Yeah, the only thing that would shock me (or anyone else, I should say), is the sex industry thing. I stand by my belief that Abby is going to become (or if not, should become) a hooker. Face it, we've already seen the precursors to this. She wants to be less safe, more wild like Chelsea. She was caught making out with that boy and ended up on the Internet. She loved that. Heck, maybe she won't be a hooker and will aim higher, for a respectable position as an Internet porn star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 This isn't Passions JSF. Abby is not going to become involved in the sex industry. She wants to be less goody goody but that would be too extreme. If she was going that route, both J&J would be coming back because they would be really worried. I don't need spoilers to tell me anything. Passions goes from one extreme to another with characters because it's all about shocking people and the plot. That isn't Days anymore so Abby going down that route I can't see happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 You make a good point about Jen not being there but I'm sorry, I just don't see how any other job would make even ONE parent come back to 'save their child,' so to speak. So, in my imagination, even if it doesn't happen, I'd love to see Abby turn to porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members px780 Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 Abby could quit school to focus on working with Max. A kid dropping out of school would make a parent come back to talk to 'em, imho. If it were a sex industry thing I would envision a longer-term Jack role, because this feels like he's gonna come, chat face-to-face, accept her choices then leave. I hope it's only temporary, unless they focus on Jack outside of a relationship as an investigator. And Jennifer recast? Lord I hope not. That character bores me to tears. Plus the show doesn't really need either one, imho, at the current time. It'd be another return to the backburner, unless they push someone else to the backburner, and their fans don't deserve that.

Members David_Vickers Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm glad that DAYS is planning a Jennifer re-cast. DAYS SHOULD DEFINITELY re-cast Jennifer. She's a Horton, and important to the show. The role IS NOT un-recastable. I love Melissa Reeves, but it was HER decision to quit the show and acting. So why should DAYS never re-cast just because she was popular. Many soaps, including DAYS, have re-cast popular roles and the re-casts have become popular as well. Examples----Robert Kelker-Kelly as Bo on DAYS, Lauren Koslow as Kate on DAYS & Martha Madison as Belle on DAYS, plus the Carly re-casts (with the exception of the pitiful Jennifer Bransford) on GH, as well as GH's Greg Vaughan (Lucky) & Jacob Young (ex-Lucky). I think Kristina Wagner (ex-Felicia, GH), Jensen Buchanan (ex-Marley & Vicky, AW; ex-Sarah, OLTL; ex-Melissa, GH), and Cady McClain (ex-Dixie, AMC) would all make a great Jennifer IMHO.
