Members dragonflies Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 From the new TV GUIDE: Melissa Archer hits Salem on December 5th as Serena Mason, a globe-hopping journalist who had a romance with Eric Brady years ago in Africa, their affair ended when he entered the preisthood. Now that he's been defrocked, thanks to Kristen, he's one available heart throb MA says Serena & Eric still have a very supportive friendship. She's like "wow it really sucks that your entire life got screwed up and you lost the thing you wanted most" but at the same time she's thinking 'Hey now I have a chance' Serena's arrival is bad news for trash tv reporter Nicole Walker, who has long carried a torch for Eric, and things quickly turn violent. "It's not a soap opera girly fight, with a little bit of slapping & hair pulling" says MA. "These are two tough women. I won't say anymore, because it's so worth watching" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sungrey Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not crazy about yet another new character, but I gotta agree... at least this story works well with the existing characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 19, 2014 Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why didn't they just make her Sarah Horton?! She would've been the perfect fit with the red hair (like Maggie), and she still could've been paired opposite Eric. She would've already been rooted in the canvas and all the writers would've had to do was flesh her out. Only plus side is that I hope that by Serena being a journalist that it leads to a work AND romantic rivalry between she and Nicole. I hope this also leads to Eric picking back up his photography, and eventually bringing back the Salem Spectator with Jennifer, Abigail, and Will joining the ranks. That's one of the #1 issue with soaps today--no one goes to f*cking work and have work rivalries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ugh at her not being Sarah. I look forward to her and Nicole though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Me too. Nicole needs this. She's been lost in no man's land for months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tylerbo20 Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not Sarah because this show is one of the only which doesnt care about fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think it's more so that they are too lazy to delve into the show's canon and would rather develop a new character, which is the easy route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh goodie, she's Melanie's best buddy. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Melissa-Archer-Days-1089471.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Of course she is! She has to be connected to Daniel in some way! Calling it now. . . . Once Serena is done with Eric, she is going to go on to be another prey of Daniel's. I can smell it a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Of course she is. She can't be Sarah? My God they're FAMILY. HELLO TOMLIN! Jesus ... How hard is it. Instead we get a convoluted back story for a new character. So Eric has never once mentioned Serena in two years? Please. Maybe she still will be but I doubt it. I have no issues with the character and it sounds promising but we shall see .... No reason they couldn't name her Sarah instead of you know a character that starts with an "S". Ugh. It's like they troll us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 20, 2014 Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 After the flop that is Ben and Jordan, DAYS needs to go back to casting core characters only. No new characters because they just don't stick. Serena will be another flop under Tomlin's belt. I'm already prepping to see dreadful ass flashbacks in an attempt to make viewers side with Serena over Nicole when fans would've been split from the start had she just been Sarah--a character the audience has an instant connection to.

Members AlexElizabeth Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 Oh, totally. Melanie's bestie AND a medical journalist of all things? It's inevitable that she'll be in Tan Man's orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 Only plus side to this potential pairing is that they are moving Jennifer further away from Daniel's orbit. I guess now [after the 3+ years] they are getting the message that the general audience hates Dannifer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
