Oh, yeah. There's an essential addition.

They give Kristen Renton(Morgan) a contract, but, yet axe Renée Jones(ex-Lexie) & Drake Hogestyn (ex-John)!! No wonder DAYS ratings suck. I guess next Christina Stacey(Cordy) will be upped to contract, lol.

Woohoo! Thanks for the great news, Jason. Kristen is a great find.

I guess Max and Morgan are a go? I hope so!

I know of one person who will be happy with this

Thank God! And with the recent upcomings of scripts for "Abby" lets hope that Stephanie finds a hole to go die in and we get an Abby/Max/Morgan triangle.

I just don't understand the point of this character when they set up that [!@#$%^&*] with Abby and Max and then...what? Why did they go back on their promise never to do more cousin loving with Stephanie too? Why, why, why?

Word. A/M/M triangle would be good.

I know Chloe's back for the Philip/Belle/Shawn triangle, but I still think Philip/Stephanie would be better.

are shawn/belle/philip/chloe suposed to still be older than max/morgan/chelsea/nick/steph? actually arnt max and nick older than the girls? they should just mash the bunch of them together and add in lucas.

go all chloe/shawn/belle/philip/steph/max/morgan, nick/chelsea.

I know of one person who will be happy to read this

YEAH!!!!!! I love her. I'm so glad they didn't let her slip through their fingers!

May I suggest Lindze Letherman for Abby. I just like Lindze and since GH is gonna waste her talent and get rid of her I hope DAYS scoops her up.

This is one newer addition I can actually be happy about being on contract. Morgan has so much potential, and she is one of the very very few on the younger set that were good right off the bat.

This a wise move, IMO. KR has talent and Morgan's great. I would still love a Abby/Max/Morgan triangle if Abby returns.

Also technically, Max and maybe even Nick are supposed to be older than Shawn and Belle. Hell Stephanie is supposed to be older than Belle. The ages are so messed up on Days.

This is good news. She is a good actress, and the show is in desperate need of characters that aren't related to the main families. As for putting her on contract and losing Drake and Renee; there's no way this actress would make close to what Drake and Renee made. So it's not as if, we lost John and Lexie for Morgan

BTW, whats this about Abby being cast? Is there a link to an audition script?

I agree and she is the first new character that has not been shoved down our throats.

I love her and she is great with Max. The show does need character not connected to core families and Morgan has seemed to attract alot of fans in a short period of time.

Finally a good casting move!!

well yeah, i know that. and isnt phil & will suposed to be around the same age?

but on screen, what are there? like 3 years between the two sets? keeping every "generation" alone is stupid, IMHO.

I'm happy about this..She really is a find...Hopefully after this rape story ends they can phase out the rest of the recurring sorority sisters, as they aren't really needed..
