I loved Vivian the first time around. I'm sorry that her return had to be ruined and that they aren't making more of an effort with her.

I know some of these actors may cost more money but I don't see why Chappell or Sorel are going while black holes like Shawn Christian have endless job security.

I don't know how much Chappell costs but didn't she take a huge salary cut to goto Days. Hell wasn't she willing to work for scale at GL when they

cancelled that show to help out.

If DAniel is useless so is his daughter. Melanie serves no purpose with Daniel and Carly gone. But congrads on another character attached to her being fired or leaving

I guess I can see where Melanie might have a point among the younger characters, and Molly probably is cheaply paid, but someone like Daniel I see as being there, and being there, and I never know why.

I also wonder if Chloe may be going.

I know she has her fans but I don't consider a successful character one who has driven off every pairing she's been in off the show.

I am not blaming the actress, I find the character completely useless and over propped. Stephanie back, heck I would take Chelsea back over

Melanie.

Does this show have a tier of established characters in her age group? I guess my point is that I don't argue that you need characters in that age

group but you need actors and characters that gel. Chelsea, Stephanie IMO were better characters and had better ties to the canvas. I have yet to

see her really connect with any character on a romantic level. I thought the rivalry with Stephanie was completely one sided and ridiculous. I am sure Molly Burnett is a completely nice person but there are lots of nice people out there who can act and generate chemistry with their costars.

Id can Melanie to get Chelsea back. Melanie is SOOOO annoying and since they nixxed her romance with Nathan, I dont think they should keep her around and develop her more, especially since her pairing with Dario stinks

I love Melanie and Molly Burnett and I think DAYS needs characters that age :) Mel/Dario are great!! If they get rid of Dario, bring back Nathan! I love the idea of Chelsea coming back but not at the expense of Melanie! They can both be on the show.

:( Hopefully not. I love her and she was one of my fav DAYS characters when I started watching in 2000. The show should try her and Brady again or bring back Philip!

She actually had chemistry with Hapka. None with JKJ and you could tell how unhappy JKJ was based on his performances and how he'd light up in scenes

with JA and NB for example. I actually think the actor who plays Dario might be decent but there are no other romantic options for him on the show

which is a major issue. Days does a horrible job of chem testing or if they do they don't follow it through and get fixated on what they want. It's how

they ended up with pairings like Safe and this horrible EJ and Taylor stuff versus a couple like EJ/Nicole. Heck even AS and SC the guy who plays DAniel

seemed to have chemistry in some of the scenes they shared.More than I have seen with Sami and Rafe.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
