Stefano DiMera returns next week.

Looks like SOD has an interview with JM: http://www.soapoperadigest.com/soap-opera-digest-toc.

There is some info from the interview on the IMDb board: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058796/board/nest/203328969

For a minute there, I thought DAYS was going to resurrect Elvis Presley and move him into Salem.

Well Elvis *is* Susan's baby daddy

So disappointing...he should stay dead. What is it with Ken Corday keeping him and Josh Taylor on the payroll....

There's still some unfinished business with Stefano and his exit was horrible. Since the show is probably ending in the next year or two I think it would be nice if he was there until the end.

You know what would be REALLY nice? If DAYS were to give JM a story that didn't involve any of that world-dominating craziness that we've come to expect from "the Phoenix." Instead, give us something good and relatable...like alcoholism.

After 30 years of world-dominating craziness, who'd really want to see The Phoenix battling something that's slice-of-life? Diabetes? Snooze. Alcoholism? Eh... you know he'd just end up locked up in some secret room by one of his enemies during a drunken stupor. Despite DAYS' piss-poor budget, I just can't (and actually, don't want to) fathom a relatable Stefano. If I step into his home, I fully expect his remote control to control a person's mood, not a TV.

"Joe Mascolo, who returns to Days on August 22nd, says it was always the plan for him to come back to the show."

Nice to see Joe corroborate what I said a few months ago! So much for the "insider" who said M&D killed him off for real.

Alcoholism for Stefano? No thanks, man. This Stefano Dimera fan wants him to always be a larger than life character and doesn't want to see him in "relatable" storylines. Give me world domination, and power hungry badass. I don't want to see Stefano in such a weak way. I already dislike people saying, "Stefano, did you drink your orange juice yet?" Come on.

I figured that Ian Buchannan's character was keeping him hostage somewhere. That's probably what the "TA-DA" was that he revealed to EJ in the daytime promotion.

See, now that would be a good way to put a DAYS twist on a very true-to-life subject. I'm just saying.

Ugh

Sad news

I'm happy. I had no interest in Chad being the lone DiMera.

Ugh. I hope to god they fix that.

Aside from the Rafe 2 crap last year, they really haven't done any world-dominating craziness with Stefano in recent years. He's mostly just been a sounding board to EJ, or happy husband with Kate and Nono with Giovanni. MarDar were bad but during the Alamania story I saw glimpses of the old Stefano.
