There is no need to have all 5 roles. Use Susan for flashbacks and that is it. Whether it's Eileen or a different actress, the actress isn't going to want to play 5 roles. Eileen was exhausted after leaving Days and I don't think her or any actress will want to take on that workload.

Penelope is dead, Thomas was in, wha, like 2 episodes? Mary Moira would have what purpose? This isn't JER's Days anymore. We are trying to keep from going too far to the campy side. Susan is ok in flashbacks but her return wouldn't make much sense given what Elvis is. Something had to happen to her.

By the end of Eileen's run, I grew tried of the 5 characters. Susan was fine but the rest were getting to be too much. All Days needs full time is Kristen. That is it IMO.

Susan is needed to balance Kristen's evilness. It's nice to have a fun, sweet character like Susan that you can root for. Trust me, no one was rooting for Kristen, but EVERYONE was rooting for Susan to get her baby back. That's why Sheffer is such an @$$hole for rewriting history and trashing Susan's memory like this.

But its also been 10 years, Kristen should have matured somewhat and be more able to be played by Cady. I don't even see Eileen playing the role into the hysterics she did in the 90s if she were to come back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCZzpLogIRE -- this is not who Eileen Davidson is anymore.

Plus, the last time Eileen almost seriously came back to Days (which I believe was around the time Ashley was dying of cancer), one stipulation was going to be that she'd only play Kristen, and not Susan or any other multiple roles.

I agree. There's no need for any of the short term characters. I also agree that for EJ to have turned out the way he is now, that Susan Banks must be dead. They should definitely kill Susan off that way and just have her in flashbacks. I liked Susan for awhile, but too much airtime for that character got a little much. Kristen is THE important character and I agree with Ridge, that Fiona Hutchison who was so wonderful as Gabrielle Medina on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, would absolutley make a great Kristen Blake DiMera!

Oh but it's ok for you to excuse all the character and history destruction JER forced upon Days and Passions fans? Can't have it both ways, Rion.

He isn't trashing nothing. Susan is gone. She wasn't even a main character. I like her but, let's be realistic. Susan was a gimmick. That is it. Kristen was a character. Again, I like Susan and all of Eileen's 5 roles but there is no reason to have them around. Kristen has reason and Susan does have some for flashbacks or to tie her stories up. That is it. Anything else would be over the top and campy and that is what Days is trying to break from.
