Sami, Lucas, Belle, Shawn, Claire, Phillip, Theresa, Joey, Stephanie, Nathan, Johnny, Allie, Sydney, I’d love to see all of them come back

 

I wouldn’t even mind seeing some of the characters were born in the 80s, 90s and 00s who haven’t really been seen since come back: Alex Kiriakis, Andrew Donovan, Noelle Curtis, Joy Wesley, JT Reiber, etc.

They are. But we don't know for how long. IMO it should be permanent. These firings should free up the room. Philip and Chloe should also return IMO.

 

Agreed. Lucas is back sometime this year but again who knows for how long. Would love seeing him back permanently with an aged Allie and Johnny.

 

If "Cin" (gag) are staying, they should recast Theo. (Not sure Joey is needed but what will Kayla and Steve do after this mess is over?)

No great loss!

 

But I remain perplexed at why Eric Martsoff (Brady) continues to dodge this particular bullet.  If a character is long past his expiration date, Brady is that character.  They look for ways to make him viable when the character simply needs a rest.  Does Eric come to work in a wife beater and speedos?  What tf is it?!

Dude, I was about to make the same joke  

 

 

 

I was just saying that in another thread. 

 

Again, unpopular opinion, but one way to "freshen" up the Brady role is to switch out the actors and put Kyle Lowder back in the role.  Then, Brady will look like John's son, not his brother, and they can revisit Brady/Chloe. Plus, Lowder would look better than Martsolf in those speedos at this point...

I felt that the two characters had been written into a corner in many ways...CS/Paul had better chemistry with either of them than Will and Sonny together. But, regardless, to me it's sad that there will be no lgbt presence on the show anymore. As a gay viewer, characters like Will, Sonny, Paul (and a lesser extent Evan and Leo) made me feel sort of more of the DAYS world if that makes sense.

 

Now, with just Ciara and the serial killer and other stories (Stevano, Princess Gina) not doing it for me, I don't feel any compelling reason to watch. For about six months now, my viewing has been spotty to begin with after years of watching daily...so I've seen the good and the bad over the years. But, this just kind of kills any interest I have at this point and sort of deflates any excitement I felt about the show. It would have been better to maybe release one from their contract and send the remaining character on a totally new storyline path. It's also sad that Will was one of the few characters left with the Horton name.

Or just a new, younger recast altogether. (Don't like Kyle Lowder much.) But I bet this show keeps psycho Kristen, whose sell-by date expired a good 20 YEARS (!) AGO. Trying to reset her as the poor woman that had her baby switched (when she is 50+ and shouldn't spawn!) with a star-crossed romance with the son of a man she also was engaged to/pregnant by, is just gross.

 

I know...soapy. But at least Reva and Brooke Logan, who also went through male family members, weren't psycho killers.

I appreciate their historical importance and I enjoyed them in DAYS of yore, but they've been written so badly since CM's return that I don't think it's a bad thing for them to go. It's obvious that someone -- and I don't believe it was Ron -- wanted to neuter them of any sexual component that might offend homophobes. I wish both actors the best.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
