The only character who I want and think should return is Abby. They will need a replacement for Chelsea anyway and she is a perfect choice. She is a friend with Stephanie, so she can live with her in the new flat Steph/Chelsea will move in soon, the relationship between Abby and Max is pretty much open as she left with no goodbay, and there is even some conflict with Melanie because Abby and Nick used to be a good friends and Mel is now living with Maggie.

Logistically it makes perfect sense and it would be really easy to return a little older and mature Abby saying J/J went on some long and dangerous mission in Iraq, Afghanistan or something like that, so they send her back home to stay under Mickey/Maggie´s supervision.

Oh, and she is a blonde and we don´t have any young blondes except Mia on the show right now.

I think they should keep Mike Horton far away from Salem, simply because the SORASing and de-SORASing of the character totally screws up the timeline. He should be around Bo's age but was de-aged to be around Carrie's age. Plus, we had his now-adult son Jeremy show up last year with that awful "Touch the Sky" storyline.

Abby is probably the best bet, because of her age and the fact that she only left a couple years ago and is the child of a former supercouple. If they were to actually bring back a daughter of Maggie & Mickey's, I'd bet on Sarah because she was only a pre-teen or so when she was last seen (and they would probably make her any age they wanted her to be just like they did with Max Brady, who should be older than the Sami/Lucas crowd).

Agree that Doug & Julie should settle in Salem.

Marie(Maree Cheatham)could return and live with Alice and become the matriach.

It's been so long since many Hortons were mentioned.Their ages have also been screwed up.

A pity the Hortons weren't nurtured on screen and off.

David(Julie's son)not seen in 25 years.

Scott(her grandson)SORASED too quickly in the late 80's.

Jeremy(Mike's son)totally wasted a couple of years ago.

The list goes on....

Mike's aging and de-aging has been weird; he was born in '69, yet by the late '70s, he was either a doctor, or studying to become one. Then he was re-aged closer to his original date of birth (by about five/six years, if I remember right) when Roark Critchlow took the role. He wasn't de-SORAS'd to Carrie's age, though. I think Mike holds the record for most recasts!

EDIT: Oh wow. I just discovered that Roark and Michael T. Weiss were only born within a year of one another. So they DIDN'T de-SORAS him at all in '94! They just did that in the early '80s. Wesley Eure is a decade and a year older than Weiss.

I would like it if Doug and Julie stayed longterm. Now that all their pals were fired, there is an opening for wise old vets.

In another direction, I would like to see the return of the one, the only, the ever fabulous Jan Spears! The show needs a real psycho to liven things up and give the audience a laugh or two.

She is without family at the moment, but I miss Bonnie Lockhart. I do. Judi Evans is great and the character was fun.

Is it too soon to say "bring back Tony and Anna!" ?

They could simply recast Mike Horton with James DePavia or Laurence Lau that should move him back in the age he was in with David. Scotty could return played by Forbes March. I agree the show made up an age for Max because he was always older than Sami and Eric slightly younger than Carrie. Cassie DiMera could bring some spunky to Salem and put Mel in her place. We need a family DiMera, even though she isnt one. I always dreamed of Sarah Horton returning played by Natalie Zea (ex-Gwen, Passions). I would love to see Andrew Donovan return, but not as a teen as an adult close to Sami's age, since he was born a year or so after them.

I think Rex and Cassie have been sent to the attic to get their skis. It's another rewritten or just ridiculous plot point that seems to have been forgotten. When Kate mentions her kids, she never mentions either one. She's mentioned Billie and Austin, but Rex & Cassie are dismissed.

It's time to look to the future, with some characters from the past. I would bring back Jeremy Horton, to interact with Stephanie, Philip, and Melanie. Sara Horton, to interact with EJ, Sami, Nicole, Brady, and Rafe. And Jeannie Donovan, to interact with Chloe, Lucas, and Daniel. Jeannie could be aged to mid to late 20s and interact with Daniel, bringing Caroline in the story, via Maggie's worry of Jeannie beging near Daniel. Ultimately, she could be a love interest for Lucas. Sara could be a lawyer like her father, and clash with EJ personally and professionally. That is who I would bring on. As for Max, I think it's best for the show to cut its losses and send him on his way.

    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
