I guess it feels like they should've done that years ago when Edward Mallory died, then again, after they actually did end up re-casting him with John H. Martin ten years ago they could've easily turned him (& Laura) into viable recurring characters.

 

I can kinda understand the decision to just kill him now. But it frustrates me because he could have been viable. I would have cast John Reilly back in 2001 as Bill. I wish we had more Hortons on at least recurring over the years like Bill, Laura and Marie (when Nick was around). They could have even paired Marie and Victor instead of Maggie and Victor. Used Marie with Eric and Nicole in the church ...

 

And then we have the forgotten Mike Horton and his kid. Mike could have numerous kids at this point. 

 

2010, with Alice's passing, was the perfect time to re-introduce Marie, Bill, Laura, etc. And then USE THEM. I know Laura has popped in. It's just frustrating.

 

Oh, and let's also talk about how they offed David Banning. I'd have cast Joe Lando (he popped up on B&B in 2018 right as some random judge during the awful Katie/Thorne [!@#$%^&*]?)

 

Just such a waste to basically ignore that side ... I get the budget can't afford a slew of folks anymore but ugh .... lol

Yeah, I mean, in theory them killing him off now is at least better than to just have him fade away like Tommy and never really mentioned again (though I think now would be a nice time to mention him?). It's just a shame that Bill won't be given a real funeral and just a plot point to get JJ out.

Sigh... another missed opportunity. 

 

Instead, they'll think they're mining history by bringing on some never-before-mentioned great-grandchild of Tommy Horton and have him mix it up with Nicole or Gabi or some godawful situation like that.

Bill Horton has been ‘alive’ all these years. Go figure. Instead of this plot point,  send JJ on vacation to hang with Theo. Then have Abby mention he found an EMT job and is staying. Done.

In a way I'm glad there addressing the missing Hortons  but to kill him off like that seems pointless.

 

If Bill and Laura had remarried during the 50th and visited over the years, Bill's death would have more impact.

 

Still have no idea why Marie has never returned!!

It's a shame, because Maree Cheatham certainly seems willing!!

 

It really is a shame! They had the chance to make her and other Hortons "relevant" again between 2006-2015 and just failed and didn't bother. Such a waste (like killing off David Banning, who had been off-screen for decades, but hey let's bring on Rafe's daddy or Ben's daddy)

If anything, revealing Eli to be David and Valerie's son was a PERFECT opportunity not just to bring back David but put him in a triangle with Valerie and Abe as well.

With JJ, Abby, and Will all exiting it only leaves Ciara and Eli as "younger generation Hortons"

I'm not sure what they will do with Jack and Jennifer once their kids are gone.

Maybe they will recast Joey & Jeremy

Maybe we could also see Justin's other kids back?

 

Olivia Rose does return as Claire soon

Let's hope they don't revive "In the House."  ;)

 I don't know why they haven't introduced some of Justin and Adrienne's other kids. They have three more! The show could use some more new blood definitely.
