Sydney Penny!!!! EE!!

[Michael]

Whoa! Sounds like this is a short-term return for Nicholas, but I'm glad they've cast him to include him in this arc. It sounds like Carly is at least going to go out with some dignity. I was worried they'd send her off huffing and puffing to rehab and we'd never hear about her again.

[DRW50]

It's a shame Sydney doesn't get longer soap work, but then all the soaps suck now anyway.

I'm glad they are ignoring the odd decision to turn Nicholas into a late twentysomething in the late 90's.

[juniorz1]

Meh to both.

Sydney Penny is one of the most overrated soap actresses of all-time. She sucked on Santa Barbara and was only decent her first year on AMC when they pitted her against SMG's Kendall. She sucks the life out of everything she touches and I'm sure her scenes with Chappell will be positively snooze-worthy.

As for Cody Longo, call me when the show brings back Victor Webster as Nicholas.

[Michael]

I don't want them to bring back Victor Webster as Nicholas, because he is WAY too damn old to be Crystal Chappell's son. I seriously have to sort of block that casting out of my mind now that Carly's on the show. I get that they thought Carly and Lawrence would never be seen again, but it was such a stupid SORASing.

[Vanguardian]

I'll betcha they find a way to keep this Cody guy around indefinitely. He's young and would fit in with the Abby, Gabi, Will, Sonny, and Chad group.

[Antoyne]

Regardless of the SORASING when Victor was in the role, he had smoking hot chemistry with Lauren Koslow.

[Cheap21]

IA to a degree. Could care less about Sydney. She's alright but she's not all that

The show has established that Carly is 39. There's NO way in hell VW could play her son

WORD!

Talk about a misleading thread title....

[JackPeyton]

Cody Longo is good and i can totally see him as Nicholas. I think it is smart to bring him to mend fences with Carly, have her become clean, and move on.

[juniorz1]

I don't see them keeping him on the show though. With Vivian and Carly gone, what would be the point? His only relative would be John......or is John even considered an Alamain anymore? How funny that 25 years later, we still don't really know who the f.uck John Black is! :lol:

[Bright Eyes]

Yes we do. He's Ryan Brady, son of Santo DiMera (Stefano's father) and Colleen Brady (Shawn's sister). His time as an Alamain still remains in the canon.

Peter Reckell tweeted "Bryan D is coming back?! Oh noooo!! :-) :-) :-)"

[juniorz1]

Sure he is.....

Until the next rewrite that is.....

UGH!? Lucas? SNOOZE-VILLE! Oh noooo is right!
