I guess after the stories with Nicole and Victor, Gil and Arianne could have their own sparkle. Up next - Ray McDonnell as the new Mike Horton.

Unless Shawn raped someone he's not on the list. Since that must be the criteria in suggesting TSJ (who has nothing else in common with EJ) we should run with it.

But Frank Parker can be the new Tony and Andre smile.png

See they completely wasted Jay Kenneth Johnson on his last stint on Days. I am not saying hes a lead but he should have had a larger profile on this show and Phillip should have been a business adversary for EJ versus Melanie's purseholder.

They can recast Kyle Lowder as EJ,AZ's reallife husband

Just as long as they don't try to recast Stefano with Ronn Moss.

When Sheffer was writing the show he wrote Phillip and EJ as the same character, minus the rape-is-love storyline. So Phillip was being built up in this vein for a while. I'm not sure what changed it.

James Scott is probably the only reason EJ has lasted and been center piece of the show for the last five years. Scott always delivers and remains convincing but the character itself is a mess. I loved EJ when he first began, shaking it up with Sami, Kate, and even Billie. He was refreshing and sharp. But then came the sexual coercing(in other words rape) story and the Santo crapola that destroyed the character completely. Since then we've had to deal with EJ being either good or bad in a vicious cycle. EJ has been a mess for a couple years now his obsessions with Sami and Nicole have gotten out of hand. His schemes--kidnapping and faking Sydney's death and then faux Rafe are extreme. I liked his rivalry with Rafe initially until we the ridiculous Faux Rafe. Too bad that EJ and Arianna never happened because both Scott and Hartley had great chemistry with each other and probably could have given both characters something different to do.

Had certain misogynistic writers like Sheffer not made so many early mistakes and had the writing been more consistent I think EJ could have a been either a great anti-hero or multi-layered villain.

I'd rather have EJ simply leave town, maybe go off to reconnect with Susan or something like that. We really don't need another murder mystery given EJ's already been at the center of two mysteries already.

LOL ain't that the truth.

I hope James Scott sticks around, you mark my words, John, Marlena, Carrie, Austin and Jack cannot and will not be able to carry this show for more than a few months.

Joe Mascolo, Lauren Koslow, John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers deserve a medal for carrying this show on their backs for the last two years...and Alison Sweeney, James Scott and Arianne Zuker deserve honorable mentions too, when the writing served them, those three flew.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
