The Dimeras IMPO are DONE. with Joe's death (and hopefully Stefano's final death) the family has had their run. Andre will be made, finally, into the family matriarch (again) but I would like them to go past them. Very interested to see what will come up....I want stories told through the characters, not the other way around...which has now been happening for YEARS.

In its heyday, as penned by William J. Bell and Pat Falken Smith, DAYS was a gripping, literate, sophisticated drama geared towards an adult audience.

 

I suppose I should finally give up hope that the series will ever return to its former glory...I've been waiting for 40 years, LOL.

I can see Carlivati focusing on the Hortons and Kiriakis families again. He'll bring back "forgotten" children as new characters all grown up. I won't be surprised if Mike Horton is back, as well as having Laura on more regularly. Maggie's daughter, Melissa maybe. I'm thinking he'll even use Julie more (especially with David's son). 

As much as I've loved the DiMera's over the years, the family really has been ruined with all of the "deaths". I'd prefer a fresh start with a different family coming aboard that stirs things up. Not a mass entrance all at once (like the Fords on OL) but a slow build up. Maybe Vivian could be the new Helena?

the one thing I'm gripping onto is Sheri being there. if that hadn't had happened.....Days would be screwed. as long as Ron doesn't write the JER garbage and adds some dept, just like you said, back into the show...I'll give it ONE MORE CHANCE.

Maybe Marlena will at least get an exciting story again. I HATE to say this, but I'd probably enjoy the return of the devil. Oh, Lord.

I've been saying that for years. The Dimeras are a thing of the past. IMO, Chad ought to be the only Dimera on the canvas until his son or Sami's kids are aged. Even then, the Dimeras shouldn't hold as much clout or evoke fear like they did in the 80s or 90s. They need to officially declare Stefano dead (again) followed by Andre dying and move on. 

 

I also felt the show missed out on making the Alamain clan the new, central villain family when Louise Sorel and Crystal Chappell came back all those years ago. They could've easily wooed back Michael Sabatino, cast a young actor as Nicky, and went from there. It would've been so interesting to see Lawrence and Hope interact. In my mind, I felt he would've been attracted to her and become a bit obsessed with her too much like he was with Carly. It would've drove Bo bananas. With Nicky, I felt they could've brought him back and paired him with Abby. That pairing would've been so controversial with Jennifer's daughter being attracted to her rapist's son. Would've been so interesting to see Jennifer and a much alive Jack fret and scheme to prevent the pairing while Lawrence could've pushed it to stick it to Jennifer and Jack.

    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
