pdm1974 Members Share Posted August 19, 2020 The actor seems like a sweet guy. But what can possibly be left for this character to do? I feel like he hasn't had much of a point for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I said it before, but when they did the time jump I wanted them to properly tie up all the storylines and then do a major overhaul of the canvas (add fresh blood, straighten out family trees, drop pointless characters) - Rafe is deadwood and has been for... well, since when wasn't he? On the plus side, I guess Galen is a nice guy so there's that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the plus side, I guess Galen is a nice guy so there's that. As did I. I've wanted an overhaul of the canvas for a long time now too. I thought we were getting it but not really. I like Galen. I've just never cared for Rafe. The only time I liked him was when he was with Jordan and Kate, honestly, and briefly before that when he was just a single snarky cop, that worked best. Otherwise Rafe is useless. They've thrown him in certain pairings (Sami; Hope) that really never worked. Why couldn't they just cut their losses? I feel like Ron has no interest in Rafe, and rightfully so. Rafe is deadweight. I wonder if they do Rafe/Nicole ... I also did not need or want Marci Miller back as Abigail. I swear anytime I get interested in DAYS again they do everything they can to turn me off again. Can we get a Chabby break? For real this time?

te. Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Controversial opinion (?), but I like Marci Miller as Abby. She has that classic soap opera heroine thing going on that I enjoy. There are so many things I would do to DAYS if I had the chance though - one of those is to finally straighten out the family trees. Viewers should not need a [!@#$%^&*] chart to figure out how everyone relates to each other to begin with. And in all honesty - I'd drop the DiMera's, their wacky plots and back-from-the-dead potions. I'd also make things matter in the long run - not pointless medical emergencies that lasts for three weeks and gets forgotten; daytime soaps are blessed with the ability to explore all aspects thanks to airing five times a week. Unt so weiter, unt so weiter.... But anyway, I'm just ranting. Edited August 19, 2020 by te. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victoria foxton Members Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I just woke up and saw this horrible news. Somehow a broke Days found some to get boring Rafe back. Looks like Sonny will be back too. Edited August 19, 2020 by victoria foxton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gray Bunny Members Share Posted August 19, 2020 16 hours ago, Soapsuds said: The new Mike Horton Didn't he play a love interest of sister Jennifer, who quickly & conveniently turned psycho on her? Side note: with DAYS' 55th anniversary coming up in November which they have yet to film, I'm glad their tape date vs air date are close. It was crazy how their 50th anniversary was filmed at the beginning of 2015 and by the time they were promoting the anniversary in November, they were all secretly in the depths of despair about the quality of the show, as it took a dark turn in 2016.

Faulkner Members Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I loved Roark Critchlow as Mike, so I wondered what he looked like. (He’s steadily worked but I don’t remember seeing him elsewhere.) He’s definitely... matured. But, as it’s been like 25 years since he and Carrie got together, dude is almost 60 (he’s around the same age as Michael T. Weiss - which I was semi-surprised to learn as I thought it was a de-SORASing). Edited August 19, 2020 by Faulkner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember him acting this way before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bright Eyes Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looking at the current cast, I can't help but fear that they'll end up pairing him up with Nicole. Pure speculation on my part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
