DAYS: Casting News


Recommended Posts

Jeremy is a character with potential and they do need a long-term guy to add to the young set for Steph if they go ahead with Max and Morgan. If Mike is returning, I think Jeremy is needed given what happened this summer. That would have to be addressed.

As for Cordy, she is likely short-term and her character is involved in a story and is needed. They have to recast her. It's a shame because I liked the previous actress.

I know people want more vets but they cost money and the show does need to start introducing some new, viable characters to intermingle with the existing ones. I know given this year that many disagree with that but, if the show is to have a future, that is needed along with increased usage of the existing vets.

With Days' casting department now, I am confident they will do a good job with any roles they cast.

Is it me, or does it seem as if Dax Griffin is approached for every role on soaps these days?

If I were you, I'd brush up on my basic grammar and punctuation skills first. The internet is cluttered enough with unintelligible blogs.

Also, I'd tone down the Shelley Hennig/James Scott/Steve Burton love. On a blog, that might comes across as stalkery.

I don't see the problem with hair color. Mike Horton (at least the last one?) was blonde. He was born in 1963, but Wesley Eure ('70s Mike) was born in 1951, making him old enough to be 35 year old Jeremy's father. :)

The problem is that he really serves no purpose by himself. Yes, he's a Horton, but if you're going to bring him back, bring back Mike or Robin, someone with history on the show and someone that can be a driving force to make him a layered character. Throwing him into the ridiculously bad Sorority storyline is a waste of airtime.

I completely agree they need to bring Jeremy back on with ties to history. Jeremy was raised in Israel with his mom, so he should be heavily Jewish. Being Jewish myself this could be perfect for show to do an anti semetic storyline as a social issue. Jeremy could come back hopefully with a better recast and with dark hair and we could pretend like the other version of him didnt exist. He should be dark and handsome kind of like Michael T. Weiss was and they should let him be coming from med school. I really do believe they should retcon the past year and pretend like it was an imposter and have Jeremy be this good guy living up to the Horton name. This way they can bring in new characters as part of the intern process and it could be like Port Charles when it first started. They could bring on a few others connected to families.

I really like your idea of an anti-semetic storyline, and it would be refreshing to see a daytime character embrace his Jewish heritage. I, being Catholic, would appreciate it as it will open me up to what its all about. Lets hope that TPTB read this board. :lol:

There are rumors they are bringing back Mike, Shawn. I think that is why Jeremy is returning so soon. I think he gets caught and brought back to Salem and Mike has to return to deal with him and then he sticks around. There was a casting blurb in SOD a few weeks ago that said a familiar doc was returning to Salem so I'm taking it as Mike. Hopefully, it is him. He could be a great love interest for Billie.

Hogan wanted to rebuild the Horton's and I think he was forced to abandon that early on. Now, it seems he is going back to that. He brought Nick early on and now he wants to bring Jeremy back and probably Mike. He already had Lucas change his name to Horton so it seems there is a feeling that the Horton's need to be a pivotal family involved in story again.

    • I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

    • Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.
    • Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.
    • The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.
    • That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
