I know there is a SOD thread but I thought this warranted it's own thread so we can speculate:

Per SOD's Casting About/Grapevine section:

"Look for another surprise character from the past to turn up on Days..."

Any guesses? I wonder if maybe it's CC since Hunley is back.

Oh man! If Christie Clark returns (again) I will be so happy. I think Hogan can write for Carrie in an awesome way. I hated Carrie's most recent run because it was so ridiculous and recycled. If Carrie came back without Austin, that would make things even better.

If it's not Carrie, who else could it be? It could be Mike Horton. His son just recently returned to Salem and Billie needs a love interest.

could be.. CC was the REASON i started watching DAYS when I first started watching way back when.

Carrie returning wouldn't be that surprising. It's also confirmed in tomorrow's ep. that Will is staying with A&C for the summer.

My guess is someone more obscure like Colin or Greta (both of whom were involved with the Dimeras).

It would be fun if this was Christie Clark/Carrie because I'd love to see her have a role outside of Austin and because I think if Carrie was back Sami would be less of a weepy heroine and back closer to the fierce bitch I love...

but how do we know this would be a new person? This could just be referring to Thaao playing Andre, a character from the past, as well as Tony, couldn't it?

I'd like Carrie back for a short run, where we know she is still with Austin and he's busy with business or something. Just to be part of the DiMera story before heading back to be with Austin. Sort of like the way Sharon comes and goes in EastEnders.

I'd like to see Greta and Julianne back! I really liked her. Maybe then we'd find out who her father is too.

There was a rumor a while back that Greta would be coming back.

Why can't it be Louise Sorel? Vivian is so needed in Salem. The show needs a grand Diva!

It's also confirmed in tomorrow's ep. that Will is staying with A&C for the summer.

Well thank the Lord for small favors.

maybe it will be Stephano's x-wife VIVIAN?

A&C regarding Will??? WHAT??

I doubt that bringing CC back as Carrie would be on casting about. It has to be someone that will be recast and even though Mimi is mentioned, we are also told she won't be returning, so it's not her. Who would be recast? Most likely it would be someone who was very young when they left, I'd think.

Anyone think its Mike Horton with Jeremy on the show..I could go for that..especially if that means Billie finally gets a man...

no its Vivian, Stephano needs a women.
