Days - Time to recast Peter Blake


Recommended Posts

  • Members

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.
