They could get a lot of cheap new talent to round out the cast if need be and I think the best way to go about that is by aging/recasting familiar characters like those you mentioned. Maria's kids for example may appeal to long-term viewers in a way that rando made-up relatives like Asher will not. Plus Maddie and Sam leave the door open for Eva LaRue. I would also highly recommend bringing Petey and even Jamie back, reCassie as well, and regardless of the show's current stance, there is room for Frankie's son William (think Rex and Shane in terms of age).

All true but I like the fact that they mentioned Jon Stewart. Even though The Daily Show (TDS) broadcasts its clips on the TDS website they also show them on Hulu. Last year the deal with Hulu fell through and they stopped showing TDS and Colbert. People went berserk. Hulu finally added the content back about 2-3 months ago because of all the requests on both Hulu and Comedy Central to return it there.

Obviously that's a different show with a different audience. But a big portion of that audience watches online. Enough that it made them change a business decision.

Most of the new web shows are not covered fully by the union and union actors work on them thru waivers from their unions

I could see something similar here or maybe AFTRA which currently covers daytime Drama will work something out with them as far as pay minimums, hours and such

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
