Members SoapSurvivor Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Who's turn is it to be leading lady? At one point I thought that the torch would be passed to KA (Hope) but she left and Allison Sweeney came along. To anyone that surfs the internet there it is no secret that changes are happening. Do you think the leading lady needs to be someone with history or can a new face with a good backstory do the job??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Is there any need to find the next leading lady? Soaps have always worked best as ensemble pieces. You just can't have one person lead on a daytime show. Sami was the type of character that could easily get into various types of dramas & was played by a very popular actress so it was easy for her to get the lion's share but it happened, generally speaking, organically. No need for them to start pushing for the next Hope or the next Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Graham Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't know about leading lady but the show definitely needs a new pot stirrer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 we already have her Sami passes the torch to her trouble making cousin Theresa who is set to be the new star of Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapSurvivor Posted January 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe not a "leading lady" but the way dramas and stories a set up there should be a central character that is STRONG enough to drive stories. Sami's happening organically can be debated when she was clearly shoved down viewers throats (I loved every second of it). I mean they have the category at the Awards (Lead Actress vs. Supporting Actress). So there is a need for some LEAD actresses on DAYS, there can be more than one. All can't be LEAD (They don't have IT) and some definitely has a place as SUPPORTING. Lauren Koslow is a SUPERB supporting actress, but has she ever been giving lead material?

Members marlenafan Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Give it back to Deidre Hall. Like her or not, Days has always had superb ratings when she was involved in the A stories. If JER was alive she would still be driving story.

Members BetterForgotten Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 Marlena is perfect in the supporting capacity they have her in now, IMO. Sometimes it's just right to pass the torch to the next generation, and Marlena's time at the forefront had come to a natural end, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I honestly wonder how Days would be like now IF JER was alive and in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapSurvivor Posted January 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I agree, she needs to be lead in some capacity. Possibly a lead story for Jennifer and one for Nicole. There is usually more than one leading lady, one tends to stick out more than the others tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapSurvivor Posted January 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd love it, but does she have the chops, they've painted that character so much as the "loser" since her return. She's definitely a vet, she can be paired with anyone (she's not related to the whole town), but Nicole has become so pathetic. I'd say bring Chloe back, she has more "it" than Nicole.

Members Nate4 Posted January 25, 2014 Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 My first choice was Kirsten but I dont see ED returning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapSurvivor Posted January 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2014 She could be one...but not theeeee one, unless they toned her down some and made into just a bitch, but she'd have to come out on top. What about Kate??? or bringing Chelsea back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
