I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude on this.

IMO, last thing this show needs is more new characters. I think they should be cutting their losses, not dumping new characters for more new characters.

I like this. Nomaly I'm not that interested in the younger set, but that was in the old days (JC-Shawn, KS-Belle, HO-Jan, Mimi, Kevin, Cynthia...) But since these characters are no longer in high school it's way more interesting. They can still appeal to the younger viewers as well as me who's between 25-30.

Kenny, Thyme Lewis made fun of me when i met him at a fan event...I was like 14 or 15 and shock his hand...he told me my handshake was too ACDC...i had no idea what that meant and i stupidly replied "oh i don't like rock music"...little did i know he meant girly...That bitch....i'm glad he got let go...

We definitely do not need any new faces!!!! When will you learn Coday/Sheff???

I agree with everyone else that this could potentially be a good thing, but ONLY if there is balance and moderation. Otherwise, it won't matter if these two are related to core families, because they'll still be new, unfamiliar faces.

As I said, if there is balance this will work fine because these two are connected to exisiting core families. The show desperately needs to build the Horton's back up, especially with the Alice situation. Hogan had a great balance going early on until you know who mucked it up back in January. It can be that way again so I think it would be wise to take a wait and see approach as we don't know how anything is going to play out. I do think the balance will be better and the vets will be in play. Corday's back is up against the wall and he knows this is his last chance so I'm optimistic.
