Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted July 30, 2010 Members Share Posted July 30, 2010 Wow, can't wait to see what she does on DAYS. Her and Stacy Haiduk should be interesting to watch together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 -1 They did that already & it did NOT work. And given that it's the same regime in charge there..... Happy to have her on DAYS- hope they spring her & she gives Kate a run for her money with Stefano. And how ironic that I've been SCREAMING that Mattson should have played Y&R's Patty & now we'll get to watch her upstage Haiduk on a daily basis.

Members dc11786 Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 Oh, don't get me, wrong, I'm curious to see how they work Jennifer back into the canvas because I suspect this might be troublesome. She has a husband and children, who may or might not return with her. A lot is going to depend on how they resolve this. "Days of our Lives" loves to play out the romantic triangles and happy marriages equate to low screen time (see Lexie and Abe). I'm curious to see if they can develop something for her outside the realm of falling in love with her cousin's husband as I assume Carly will soon move out of Bo's orbit. On the otherhand, I have less misgivings than I would if someone like Sandy Horton were to return. Jennifer has played out storylines/scenes with Bo, Hope, Carly, Maggie, and Will and is more of a recent memory to the viewers. Jennifer's reaction to various threads as Will under Stephano's tutelage, Hope's recent criminal activity, Bo and Carly's relationship, Nathan and Stephanie's relationship, Maggie's growing closeness to Victor, and, I assume, her own children's involvement in the Salem scene. I just don't see a way to easily segue Sandy back into the canvas as you could Jennifer without making her the focal point of the story. I think bringing a past character back simply to bring back the character is as foolish as introducing a new character without properly developing the story. The "Days of our Lives" audience hates when a new/returning character comes and dominates the story so I think the return would have to be organic and be benefical to the stories already playing on the canvas. That said, I think Bill Horton could easily be brought back into the story, especially with Jennifer back in town, and add layers to several stories in a useful way that would enhance what is already there without monopolizing the story.

Members Gray Bunny Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 Oh Emm Gee, get over your Sandy Horton hard-on... history is out the window on soaps. They're on their last legs. Nobody who's tooling these dinosaurs give a flying fig about mining history from the 60's and 70's. We're lucky we got the grand send-off for Alice Horton that we did (although something about the sentiment was lacking... must be the lack of rehearsal soaps are allowed these days) And a "+1" as many of you say to Jonathon's assessment of Mattson keeping her health insurance alive. That's all it is. They would've hired Beverlee McKinsey for the role but she's already dead. P.S. For the Sandy Horton well-wishers, don't mean to sound crass... we just need to realize that digging into history and really delving into that kind of stuff and dead and done with.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I didn't think the last run was as bad as everyone else seemed to. I mean, her all of the sudden love for Luke was..odd, but I thought she was a rather fun character. I love Heather, and sure it wasnt on caliber with her original run, but I liked it. And with Steve in a rather large role on the show now, I could see her coming back. Jamey at DaytimeConfidential had a GREAT idea about (this was several months ago), Heather returning, seeing how Lisa was using Steve to make Patrick jealous, so she murdered Lisa and framed Patrick. She thinks Robin is fit for Steve, but when Robin continues to yearn for Patrick, she kidnaps Emma and attacks Mac to teach her a lesson...I think it could be a fun, murder storyline. And I think they could bring back Jeff to the show. Whether it be Richard Dean Anderson or a recast. I could see a story between Heather, Jeff, Steven, maybe even Monica. Then of course Elizabeth could be thrown in the mix, and possibly even Sarah and Audrey (if she were willing to appear again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I wouldn't say that. With the right writer and someone who study the history well characters like Sandy Horton, Alex Marshall, Susan Martin can return. Anna Dimera return when no one thought she would. It was just wishful thinkin anyway not a big cry out for Sandy to return or she is needed in Salem more than Jennifer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
