Ugh fire Melissa Reeves, Shawn Christian, Molly Burnett, Galen Gering, and Drake HOgestyn too.

I wonder what they'll do with Brady now?

I almost want Jen back with Dr. Perv just so they can outright finish off her character

As Sarah Brown goes, so goes my nation.

I had to come back and post, I am actually feeling a bit enraged about who they selected to let go. These actors actually had potential in the relaunch.

If Drake stays, I will have lost any optimism I have with the new writing regime. If there is any character who has outlasted his storyline potential it is that of the pawn.

YES!!!! John's character is just BEYOND salvagable at this point and brings Marlena down. He needs to go.

I hope Carrie and Austin don't get non exits like Steve, Kayla and Stephanie.

I only see three options...

1) Eric Martsolf is fired.

2.) Brady goes back into Nicole's orbit.

3.) The show brings back Chloe.

So disappointed about Christie Clarke leaving again. I really don't care about the other 3. Muldoon was nice to look at 15 years ago, but those days are over. Jack has been played out to the point that I just don't care. Madison was never a necessary character and her coupling with Brady was dullsville.

I'll miss my Carrie Brady though

I can only imagine who'll be next

This show will simply not make it. They are panicing right now. The only way to save the show is to carefully and calmly fix the problems. They are in crisis mode once again. Throw everyone out. Bring back who this time?

While I know it is not her fault in terms of who is hired and fired, I think it sucks that Melissa Reeves has never been treated a quarter as shabbily as Matthew Ashford has. And the fact that she was not included in the first wave of firings tells me the show possibly sees Jennifer as the half with a draw when, IMO, it has always been Jack.

Missy is a good friend of Corday. He went to big lengths to get her back. I am not surprised that she was not let go. I am also very happy about this fact as I feel like the character of Jennifer brings a lot of heart to Salem. IMO she was the star of the Alice funeral week; she brought a community together. I want her to play that role again. Be it in her family, or giving EJ a run for his money in public office.

I think that the Jack pairing has stifled opportunities for the character of Jen to grow. I love Ashford too, but both characters need time outside each others orbit.

That is what I am going to hate, reading the new casting news. We're either going to get a bevy of newbies to round the canvas or random characters from the past that the writers can use the say, "look, we know the show's history."

I agree. I think Jennifer's presence is very much needed to keep that Horton spirit alive on the show, and she does a good job of it.

How? That's a cop out IMO. Jen has been without Jack many a time, the show REFUSES to let her grow up, she's a perpetual Mary Sue character

These are easy, cheap cuts. Madison has never been liked by fans. Carrie and Austin are on the outside and Carrie was destroyed by bad writing. Jack has been on the outside for a long time. None of this will do anything to change or improve the show. As controversial as the 2008 firings were, at least they did change the face of the show.

This wouldn't annoy me if Melissa Reeves were also going. There is NO reason for Jennifer to stay on canvas. Reeves is just checked out, she has no chemistry or spark in any of her scenes, and her attempts to play up "Dannifer" made many fans despise her character. What is left for her? Please tell me they don't really think it's time for "Dannifer" 2.0, and if they try hard, this time Daniel truly will be the special angel they know he is?

They already gave her that chance, with Daniel, and it amounted to nothing. I don't think Reeves has any real spark to be any type of strong center on the show. She just seems dead.

+2 LOL

MR didn't even try this time around, Jen has been so lifeless and you can tell Missy was just there to get a paycheck & nothing more, at least MA is invested in the show & his character, Missy wasn't/isn't
