In my opinion....

There is no Brady/DiMera story without the two men who originally started it.

Roman Brady and Stefano DiMera.

Josh, as much as I like him, cannot hold his own in scenes with JM, and I have never saw him as Roman Brady. I would love for Wayne to come back, but after they way he was done the last time he was on the show as Alex North, unless Corday throws a skyscraper load of coin his way, I just don't see it. If the rumors are true, Drake will do nicely in the role.

As far as Bart and Dr. Rolf, I'm going to do what I try to always do - wait for them to come back on the show, and see how they'll be written, before saying that it makes no sense for them to be on there. Langan, Higley, JER - none of these people are writing the show. And if Hogan and his team can pull it off, so much the better.

It has never been who comes back to a show, IMO - it's always been how they are written when they return. They could bring on every Horton who has ever been on the show. If they are written like garbage, what was the point?

I'll just wait and see, and make my determinations later.

And that's all we can do at the moment, Roman. We don't know how Hogan is going to write the two characters. I hope it's in a serious tone, but Kenny has a point as well. Bart and Rolf gained their popularity under their comic relief days. We'll see...

The most cartoonish aspect of Rolf is that horrendous, stereotyped German accent of his. Hogan can't do a thing about that.

Well, I am hoping we get a scene at the DiMera mansion with Stefano, Tony, Anna, Lexie (with Theoo), EJ, Benjy (and his wife) and Celeste, all gathered together, offering a toast to Megan, Renee, Kristen and Peter, in celebration of the Dynasty Rising from the Ashes again.

Nubia i totally forgot about Benji..We can add him to the Dimera resurgence, because we know he'll be used...Wow, i really can't wait for May 24th to get her already...

Oh, that's right, Benji. .

He will definitely be around. The fans like him. He wasn't shoved down anyone's throats

Both Bart and Rolf used to be serious. Bart wasn't always the campy idiot. He was Stefano's right hand man at once time. He was dangerous. Rolf was the same way. He was the evil scientist that administered Stefano's scientific schemes. It wasn't until the baby switch storyline started and after that the two became comic relief.

And Kenny's right. Fans love Bart and Rolf, and they loved them when they were comic relief. I remember the outcry when Will Utay was released from the show back in 2003. And then, there were rumors that Steve Blackwood was placed on contract and would be getting a storyline involving Bonnie and Mimi. Fans were estatic, but cried when it never happened.

Bart and Rolf are fan favorites, like it or not.

Not this fan's.

A voice of reason in the wilderness Roman. Good post.
