Members Cheap21 Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Anyon eelse think its time that Peter return to Salem? Ive loved the character and want him back but considering the alleged rumors surrounding Jason Brooks and Missy Reeves, the chances of him returning are slim to none with her back on the show. With that said, a recast would be in order. Who would be a good choice? Here are some of my top picks 1. Rick Hearst Rick's played alot of dark characters and does it well. I think he'd fit in with the Dimera clan quite well. He's on contract at B&B now, but they never use him and I dont think the show would mind releasing him from that contract if they came to a mutual agreement. 2. William DeVry Yet another B&B star, but a very underrated soap actor. Its a shame he's not in daytime right now 3. Robert Kelker Kelly Yes, he famously played Bo in the early 90s but Days has a history of bringing former actors back in new roles, so why should this be different? It would be interesting seeing him act against Peter Reckell 4. James Hyde He played a good guy on Passions, but can he play a more sinister role on Days? He at least definetly has the good looks Peter is known for 5. Trevor St. John Yes he's currently on OLTL, but rumors have been swirling for months that he might leave when his contract is up in a few months. Maybe he could make the switch on over to Days? 6. Thomas Calabro He is a bit older, but he looks very good for his age. Having appeared on the recent Merlrose Place, he has aged quite well. He has charm and evil down pat. Perfect qualities for one who would place Peter As far as story, Id create a sextet of Hope, Bo, Carly, Peter, Jennifer and Daniel. With Carly's world spinning out of control, she finds herself getting involved with Peter, much to the dismay of everyone around her. Bo has a hard time seeing her move on with a Dimera and cant help but try and play white knight, which causes some stress on his renewed marriage to Hope (but they wont break up). Jennifer wants nothnig to do with Peter and does her best to try and warn her friend against him, but she soon realizes that he still has a hold on her and they share a mutual attraction whcih grows stronger everytime their paths cross. This of course causes problems with she and Daniel who has taken an interest in her and wants to be with her. It would be quite a twist, if Jack ignoring her, is a result of Peter kidnapping him, a secret that wouldnt be revealed till months down the line Peter and EJ would most definetly be at odds. EJ would be super jealous of him coming back and taking his place in the family and in Stefano's eyes. I'd definetly see a sibling rivalry with the brothers at odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love Peter. I don't know about a recast. The show has too many new faces on now as it is. Out of your choices though i would not mind RKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JtSmarts Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Excellent idea! Peter would be the perfect character to bring into the 40 somethings orbit and the possibilities would be endless especially with Jennifer/Carly/EJ etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love that idea, I like RKK but he had some alleged issues with Kristian Alfonso & Crystal Chappell, so I know Days wouldn't go for that. Rick was also on Days as Scotty Banning, but like you said Days, like every other soap brings back former actors in new roles. I like all your choices along with Jon Hensley, Sean Kanan, Matt Crane, or Frank Grillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dc cubs Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the idea of bringing back Peter Blake. Days loves its DiMera's and Peter is Stefano's adopted son. Add in the history with Jennifer and its a perfect opportunity for his return. It's a shame Brooks can't come back because I really liked him in the role. As Dr. Neil Curtis said, I don't think RKK will ever be back at Days after the actions that led to his firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tylerbo20 Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 i totally agree id want any of those guys to play Peter! i know Stefano is behind Jack being missing Stefano always holds Jack hostage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Sucks with RKK then bc Id love to see him play a Dimera. Out of the choices left, Id really go for Rick Hearst or William DeVry. I think a Peter/Carly pairing could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Scott Reeves needs to stop being so jealous so Jason Brooks can return as Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 A+ on storyline & casting cheap. A+ effing plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Great idea, Cheap! First choice: Jason Brooks, because he had this great blend of charm and threatening malice. Who knows, maybe the JB/MR thing can be chalked up to water under the bridge? It was long ago, both are older, wiser, etc. Second choice: Thomas Calabro has something of Jason Brooks IMO. What an awesome choice! Third choice: William deVry, his Peter would have something a little soulful and wounded about him. It would make an interesting counterpoint to EJ and Stefano, as Peter Blake would of course have to interact with them, too, as Stefano's adopted son. You know who are missing from the Bope/Carly/Jen/Dr. McHairyChest group? Adrienne and Justin. I personally think they reunited these two too early. I would have liked to see Justin and Carly lick their wounds over Bope together. Plus, if Peter Blake ever came back, it could be Kiriakis vs. DiMera with Justin vs. Peter. All this just leaves me thinking WTH is Dr. McHairyChest doing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh you know Id definetly love that but I dont think the issue is between MR and JB but rather SR and them. I dont see him allowing his wife to work long hours with the guy while he's over at GH. I just see it being a problem and one the show wouldnt go for considering what happened last time BTW, where is Peter? What ever happened to him? Has he at least been referenced over the years?

Members Sindacco Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 As long as Melissa Reeves is on the show, we won't get Peter Blake back, doesn't matter if it's Jason Brooks or a recast. He went to prison in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah, perhaps you are right, Sindacco. SR probably doesn't want to hear that name anymore and MR doesn't want to be pulled off the show. However, I still say Thomas Calabro would be great. OMG, I can really picture him playing off Joe Mascolo and James Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 Its too bad they made Chad, Stefano's son bc there's more story potential if he were Peter's kid. Just imagine, Jennifer's daughter, with Peter's son? Thats a storyline that could write itself and bring the younger generation into this in a natural way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I was just thinking this as I was watching the episode where Jennifer realizes that Abby is hanging out with Chad, a *gasp* DiMera offspring. It would've made sense for Jennifer to reference that she herself had once been involved with a DiMera, and not even a biological one(!), and he was dastardly. It was like it was on the tip of Jenn's tongue (but not Missy's!) but it was never mentioned. Great casting ideas, too. I could see Rick Hearst, James Hyde (bad actor, but fits the role physically), or Thomas Calabro (Michael Mancini in Salem!!) working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
