DAYS: Another murder mystery?

[aurriefan]

Why not what? It just wouldn't make sense to bring back Austin for just a few months, even bringing back the original actor, only to kill him off of all people. Plus, Austin and Carrie are a supercouple up there with John and Marlena and Bo and Hope. They shouldn't be touched.

I dont think anyone is untouchable and I dont see Carrie and Austin close to a Bo and Hope type couple or a super couple and I dont find Austin interesting but I never did but thats me. I just dont think anyone is untouchable return or not, Days got their highest ratings with that serial killer storyline which then plummetted when Corday chickened out and brought them all back. But look how many times Jack died. Its a moot point because i think the show is too afraid of doing it anyway.

When a soap does a murder mystery, I just think it makes sense to get rid of a dead-weight character like Rafe or Daniel or Madison than a popular hunk who just finally came back.

Austin and Carrie are the only supercouple to come out of the 90s. They're safe.

Well personally I would interpret this as a Mercy Killing rather than a Murder, but why would TPTB go to all the effort to getting the Reed family built up again just to kill one?

Pick a Brady - too damn many of them.

How about Caroline Brady? No one seems to want her with Victor anymore except maybe me.

I would get rid of:

- Sonny (if they don't have any story for him, at least this would give Justin and Adrienne something to do)

- Jennifer (the world's oldest ingenue, and Melissa Reeves seems to be checked out)

- One of Victor or Stefano if they can't come up with any stories for them

- Melanie (they've already burnt through so much storyline for her and this would make Daniel leave town)

- Roman

That might be interesting depending on how it's done. I do like Peggy McCay, although she may not be able to work that much.

Josh Taylor will never leave because he's buddies with Ken Corday. Can't they at least bring Wayne back as Roman and make Josh Chris again?

[DRW50]

If it were up to me I'd bring Wayne back on a recurring basis as Roman. It really makes me sad to see what Josh Taylor has become, as I was always entertained by his work on the Hogan Family and on Y&R.

[koos]

Seriously. They did it with Adrienne > Bonnie > Adrienne. Heck, they even brought back Wayne as someone else at one point. I think Josh Taylor would enjoy playing another character. His Roman is incredibly boring.

Hmm... kill Kate. Bitch has been played out since 1999.

I think there should be a moratorium on killing anyone who's already been killed on this show. So Hope, Caroline, Maggie, Jack (and who else did Marlena kill?)

Besides, why kill a character who's never seen and needed for babysitting. Seems rather pointless.

[JaneAusten]

This. I never get the point of killing off someone insignificant if you want to do a big murder mystery. ej storywise makes the most sense but hes really the only pot stirrer right now. But I am all for Jennifer for whatever reason. IA Missy Reeves has most definitely lost it.

[DRW50]

Abe was also killed.

I was mostly just thinking of who would get a reaction or what might drive a story. It's tough because there are a number of characters I think need to go, yet they are going nowhere. Someone like Rafe, I just don't see him as this huge burden to the show who must leave.

<p>that's just it, the &quot;who&quot; is most significant because if all the writers do is get rid of the superfluous characters there's no point to even tell the story</p>

Well, if a murder mystery is coming our way, I hope Daniel, Austin, Carrie/Rafe (unless the show moves more forward with them), and Quinn are among the victims!

No way!

[aurriefan]

I guess I read the original spoiler wrong...so this could actually be a serial killer story? Oh God.....sorry, but you can't top the Salem Stalker story, even though everyone turned out to be alive in the end. Hopefully they will off the dead weight: Rafe, Daniel, Melanie, Gabi, Madison, and Quinn.
