I do love francis reid, and i am sorry if i made people mad. i was not aiming towards that. I was saying after the christmas episode which sounds fantastic from what i read. Why not give a good story the bradys and hortons and once again try and get Kristian Alfonso an emmy with the death of Alice. Kristian Alfonso would rock at a story like this, like she did with Zack's death.

I would be sad if Francis Reid ever left but if they ever decided to have Alice pass away naturally not killing off or anything. It will be a great story if Mr Sheffer writes it right. It could be another shot for Kristian Alfonso to try and get nominated for an emmy. If Sheffer could kill of a days legend like Hogenstyne(which i am still mad about, i did enjoy Drake, he was one of the best actors in daytime but i am still hoping drake would return)., what doesn't make u think, he won't with Alice.

Alice is a legend on days and Francis is a daytime legend and one of the best actresses in the world. But she still can make some appearences as a ghost. The way she is on, it wouldn't be that bad. She is on like 1-2 times a year.

Plus, i hate seeing Francis in the state she is on my screen. She looks so weak and everything and i hate seeing her like that. I am happy we do get her once and awhile but if they ever do decide to pass alice on, then give Alice a great farewell with lots of history nods and flashbacks.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Drake returns during the christmas episode. Makes lots of fans happy.

Well sweat little girl when you are over ninety you might also look and feal weak, i actualy think Frances Reid and Alice is really sweat!.

i don't want to start anything but why don't you want drake to come back. What a great show it would be if Drake would return from the dead, show up at the pub or alice's place and shock everyone. Drake is a great actor, i think days is starting to see that drake is missed on days.

Then dont. I have no feelings toward Drake and don't want to see his smug ass on my TV. Period.

Little thing only Stephanielover17, her name are Frances Reid not Francis,:-

so what, u know what i mean. There is too ways to spell her name. Frances or Francis

Frances is really sweet....i just said she looks weaks and everything. I didnt say she was.

In regards to the Christmas episode, I would really like to see Christmas episodes like the past. With the Horton tree and have the Horton's and the Brady's

around it. One day a year where you don't have to move story, just be a family.

In regards to Frances Reid, I think that it's tasteless to even think about writing her passing. She is in her nineties and this is the only job I foresee her having (I could be wrong). I would hate to see her lose her health insurance to write a story of her passing for just a few fans

I know there has got to be a code that could stop certain people from starting threads.

As for killing off Alice...that idea is just plain ridiculous!

Personally, I love the vets.....I hate when people make it an age thing, because I am only 20 and I would SOOOOO much rather watch Frances Reid, Deidre, and others than the teen scene. I hope older viewers don't think that all young people watching soaps don't really get it....

Don't worry, I'm also 20 and I think that vets are the core of the show. DAYS wouldn't even exist without Frances Reid. Suggesting to kill Alice off just to make a good storyline is more than tasteless, it is insulting to every real fan of the show. It is not newbies like Shelley Hennig that can save the show. Sadly, Mrs Reid will be gone someday and a grief story about Alice's passing could be written by the time. For the moment, we just have to thank God to be able to see Alice for Christmas once again !

I'll tell you what. I don't know about Terry but I stand by my statement that killing Alice off of DAYS would make one hell of a storyline for many characters on the show, who will be around in 10 years, if the show makes it. Lets be real here people. Don't get me wrong. I don't want it to happen, but if it did, it would make great story for Kristen and others on the show, and that's all that I was saying.

You are a thoughtful, and intelligent young fan. There are more like you than most people realize. I work with a few people in their twenties that watch this show, and like you, they understand what makes it work. They come to my office to talk about the show, and I fill them in on it's history, and they are interested, not infatuated with shallow characters that have just been introduced. Nothing against characters like Stephanie Johnson, Chelsea Brady, Alex or Jeremy. We need then for the future of this show. We need a new generation of Hortons, Bradys, and Dimeras. It's essential for the shows survival.

BUT........When you say "Days of Our Lives" in public, what do people associate with it? After they get past "hourglass", they say names like "Deidre Hall, The Dimeras, Stefano, The Bradys, The Hortons, Bo and Hope, Doug and Julie (if they lived in the 70's), Steve (patch) and Kayla, Jack and Jennifer.....

Not Shelley Henig. No offense, but to put Henig above women like Deidre Hall, Susan Hayes, and Suzanne Rogers; Whom all three have won countless awards and basically saved this show with mind blowing performances again and again, is just.....I don't know, it's so ridiculous there are no words for it.

I hope Days is on forty more years. It may seem impossible, but I can dream that my children will watch it with their children. If so, I hope the young characters we see now came up and rocked the house. Fact is, they aren't doing it so far. If there were actors who could do incredible work in daytime again, we wouldn't have half the soaps facing cancellation. This generation of actors are being found in underware catalougues, beauty pagents, and reality TV shows. Not on the stage or fresh out of acting colleges.

They have looks, but no chops, and that is a problem. It's not Daytimes biggest problem by any means, but the new generation of daytime actors are not helping the dire situation soaps are in.

BTW...I'm not ancient...I'm in my thirties...So don't think I'm ranting because I'm old and irritated.

@StephanieLover17: You are annoying. Viewers like you are one main reason why the soaps do suck today. You are the ones who scream the loudest about your favorite young people on the show and don't care for the veterans and the history of the show. And the worst thing about this is that TPTB/advertisers targeting the likes of you with their writing and production. That is what's wrong here. When I think about it I don't see any hope that things will ever be better when it comes to daytime.

StephanieLover17 is successful of one thing, making me pretty much dread posting this board..It used to be my favorite board, but now i can't stand the Days threads..

Alice she is 91 years old and how would she be in a story now, she isn't what she use to be. I love Francis reid, she is a great person but her days on days is over. I think, no offense to her but write the Alice death storyline sometime next year and give KRISTIAN ALFONSO A BIG PERFORMANCE/STORY.

By any chance, StephanieLover17, do you work for ABC?

Ok.....I'd like to know how StephanieLover17 a.k.a Terry found this board.
