I don't think PP did the best job utilizing their recurring cast. Shaun was wasted following Jack around. The one time he should have been around (when Drew was in the hospital) they had him babysitting the Mannings. Vimal disappeared though I guess that was expected since the open marriage was practically forgotten about. Michelle was over exposed.

My only problem with aging Jack is that Matthew Buke is already the central male Uni-aged guy. With Jeffrey as the "designated" villain of that set, Jack would be relegated to "bridesmaid, not bride" status.

They did well with giving equal amount of focus to Matthew/Jeffrey. If Jeffrey ever leaves town Jack is a great candidate to replace him as the young villain.

I think she was recurring. But I feel like she was one of those recurring types like Hannah that's hugely focused on for one arc versus a perennial recurring character like Shaun. If we had stuck to a 4 day continuous model, she might already be gone but the ep reduction and the hiatus have drawn out her arc.

I'm glad she's asking. Maybe that means there is movement for OLTL as well. Honestly looking at where they left off I really don't think the show needs a major retool.

I'd take it with chocolate and cocktails.

Speaking of suggestions, we could use another thread to talk about how we'd rework the shows in any way. Didn't we have one of those? I can say that on Day 1 or Day 2 of Season 2, I'd have Destiny (either Harrier or another recast) at home with her grandmother, Tonye Patano as Phylicia, just talking out her life.

    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
    • And to think the original plan was for David and Lesley to have an affair.  Not only would that have made no sense - Lesley wasn't THAT stupid, lol - but it also would've ruined her and GH.
