DAYS: Character Recast + Jennifer Spoilers


Recommended Posts

Evidently, it seems the role of Abby Deveraux has been recast - Ashley Benson not returning to the role.

Apparently Jennifer and Abby return to Salem, without Jack, who is supposedly roaming around across the world on the tail of a big story.

Abby is mad at her Dad, and urges Jennifer to start dating Ty Treadway's character. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Oh lord, Missy Reeves in another dud, chemistry free pairing, until they decide to rehire Matt Ashford 6 months later? :lol:

"Missy Reeves" and "chemistry free pairing" are not two phrases I usually see together. :) And Treadway and Reeves might be good together. Who knows?

Reeves and Reckell also work well together. But of course Missy's strength is in scenes with other women.

if they are bringing Jennifer back for him, then it looks like that wont be the case. I like Jenn in small doses. She never really did much for me and my annoyance with her is that they never let her branch out too far from Jack which is a shame bc outside of the early 90s, they always half-assed that relationship. They held her back and didnt let her reach the potential she could have. Id rather see Kayla back full time than Jennifer. The one good thing about Jenn being back is that Carly will have a true friend. Im sick of everyone in town hating on her.

Im glad Abby is coming back. She should have been the future of Days and I was shocked how quickly they canned her character without doing much with her. I could have easily seen her in Melanie's current role as the show's young heroine

I think Treadway's character's role might expand. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually ends up on contract. Days just did a photo shoot featuring some new character shots and I was surprised to see that Treadway's character did get featured. I don't know if they would do that if he was just short term.

Even if Matt Ashford were to return (again!), there's no guarantee that they'd write for him and Missy, or that their story would be any good. ("In the House," anyone, lol?) That's why I don't advocate bringing him or MR back under any circumstances. I realize Jack and Jennifer were/are a much-beloved couple - hey, I loved them, too! - and that Jenn herself is a legacy character for this show. OTOH, it seems like we, as DAYS viewers, have a hard time accepting them as separated and/or involved in new and different relationships. Yet, as the saying goes, if there's no conflict for these two, then there's no story. (Of course, I think one way to remedy this would be to make Jack & Jennifer more supporting characters for their daughter, Abby's, dramas - but good luck getting DAYS to go along with that idea!)

And no, killing off Jack is not the answer. We've tried that before, remember?

I myself have NO problem with Jennifer being relinquished of her supercouple duties with Jack Deveraux. Jenn is quite interesting and dynamic enough without her silly, oafish husband. I realize there are many Jack & Jenn supporters, but I do think many people just really love the Jennifer character and Melissa Reeves in the role, and would accept her sans Jack. Especially since only 10 people watch DAYS these days :) can't piss off too many peeps...

That said, the whole "Jack is off on another goosechase/get-rich-quick scheme" excuse is lame and trite. But I suppose that's better than killing him off for the 89th time.

Can I ask when was Jennifer ever interesting and dynamic without Jack around? Maybe in 80´s with Frankie, I didn´t watch then but it seems they had that classic teen romance with few adventures the show used to be popular for. But after 1993 Jennifer was always passive and in the last decade she got downright horrible. Whinning, undecisive, fickle, self-righteous, and really really boring. I really don´t think interesting and dynamic are words I would use for someone who is either having some boring nondate and pretends she doesn´t know the guy she is with cannot wait till he gets into her pants, or makes a tee and listens to a half of Salem.

I think Reeves & Treadway would be hot. I'm all for Jack & Jennifer breaking up. Love the characters but never liked them as a couple. I always wanted a Jack/Billie pairing.

The only part, I don't like is Abby wanting Jennifer to break-up with Jack. Abby was always close with her dad. I wonder if how old Jack Jr will be.

Meh, that proves nothing - he had all his organs harvested and he still came back.

Anyway, don't give Dena ideas - she will bring him back as a talking head on a silver platter and he'll be Maggie's new maitre'd.

As for the spoilers - grinding me down Days, grinding me down...

    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
