AMC-

Bianca - How can anyone care about her? she comes and goes too much. Get an actress who will commit.

Colby - she could eb a great young heroine oir vixen or combo if the actress could pull off the role.

Days-

Jeremy, Mike, Abby, Jenn - Thios show has done a great thing by shifting focus off the long overexposed Bradys and onto the Kiriakis family. Now its time to rebuild the Hortons!

Jonah - Days could use a hot AA male to mix it up.

Y&R-

Abby - Should be so complex and layered. Not a one note valley girl. SDure spoiled rich, but she needs to be a bitch, not a brat. She should embody her mother and her father as well as brad who raised her.

Scotty, Nate, Philip - Cast these young men to give Olivia, Lauren, and Nina something to do! Personally, Devon and Kevin can go to make room if thats needed.

Colleen - The actress just isnt working., She doesnt carry any fire and passion thats needed for this role.

Tyra - if you want a heroine you need to recast. If you want evil take her there and IMHO EM could pull it off.

Sigh. I'd add Eden to this. With each new appearance, the actress' limitations get clearer.

Between this and your invoking she-who-must-not-be-named in an AMC spoiler thread...you're itching for conflict, eh?

But don't forget that your three new young men could each (all??) serve as viable love interests for Rafe!

I agree. I think JT, Victoria and Colleen should be a MAJOR show-stopping triangle. But at least two sides of that are weak, weak, weak. Imagine someone closer to a grown-up Colleen (more in the Fonseca mode) doing battle with a fierce Heather Tom (the one true Victoria). That would be must-see.

Let her go. It seems like, happily, they are reinventing Neil. Let him find new partners on his new adventure. Ana and Tyra are legally together. They should go back to the west coast with Devon, and the three of them should try to save Yolanda off canvas.

Then, into the breach, beef up Olivia, bring back Nate...and we have the start of something...seasoned with regular visits from (IMO) both Della Reese and Aunt Mamie. (Though I prefered Marguerite Ray).

Eden just needs to die with kevin, jana, jeff, and gloria.

Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. Lauren Woodland. :wub::P

And sure they all could, it would be even better if one or two was bi. But i wasnt talking about letting Kevin and Devon go to free up romantic room. Because they really dont take any romantic room away. More canvas room.

Without a doubt.

Whoever would have thought Thad would be the strongest part in a triangle? Im not bashing him at all, i personally love him, but i know hes pretty much hated here.

I agree, but they seem hellbent on keeping her and pimping her to make us love her.

Okay, I'm just not gonna discuss this :). Well, just a little.

Seriously, I'd be fine with Eden getting a secret communication from her dad and taking off. That said, I'd LIKE to have Michael have a relatable young "daughter figure". That could work. But the actress would have to be stronger, and he'd need more screen time with her.

Jana can die. I like Ms. O'Brien a lot, but I think a free-and-despondent Kevin opens up interesting possibilities. And they could play such an amazing Love Story beat before she dies.

Jeff should never have been created. I think Shackleford does wonders with it, but this is the most dislikable character on daytime. Love the actor, HATE the character (like Dee Deee hates Cane).

Kevin and Gloria. Leave my F-Bs alone!

Hands down, across all the soaps, Colby at AMC. I don't even watch most of the shows but I know that no other show is placing the future in their show in an ingenue who can't encapsulate the character, is too old for the part, and doesn't evoke any emotion whatsoever.

As for Randi, shouldn't they just get rid of the character before thinking about a recast? I've never had major issues with Denise, but this seems to me to make the most sense.

Once again, I have no issue with her, but why not just ditch her entirely? OLTL's cast of recurring characters is EXTREMELY bloated. They're not using Justin, who's on contract, to interact with Matthew. Just make them a gay couple and be done with it.

      All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.

      So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

      Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.

      From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.

      CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.

      I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.

      I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?

      I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!

      Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.

      My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
