DAYS: Vet Quits! Recast with AMC/ATWT Star!

[dayslover]

I hope Melissa returns and they finally give her a new storyline. Jack and Jennifer haven’t been used a lot this year.

She runs when the going gets bad. She'll probably be back if the show ends.

what racist stuff?

[ChitHappens]

 

I don't think so.  Corday does not care about that stuff and Reeves has a right to her beliefs.  moRon loves taking jabs and he's still employed.  Besides, Corday just put 5 non contract people on contract and not one of them are black.  Reeves has not negatively impacted Days so why would she be fired?

[Gray Bunny]

Wow... Sad that her real-life ignorance spills into my overall onscreen enjoyment of her. Still, Jack & Jenn are good as a tentpole couple on this show at this point, but it'll be strange to have someone else playing the role again. Stephanie Cameron couldn't find someone to take her shifts at Target? 

 

It was fun to say "RECAST HER!" but WOW that it's actually happening!  I personally wouldn't have chosen Cady McClain as my No. 1 pick (too harsh of features than what we're used to from Jenn) but we'll see how it goes.

I also doubt she was fired. As insane as the whole thing was, it's just not a fireable offense, especially in this industry.

[Vee]

Do I think she was fired, no. Do I think they are begging her to return, no.

[KMan101]

 

I agree Corday doesn't care.

 

She does have a right to her beliefs, as wrong as they may be. But she even had castmembers speak out. She became a distraction. She has to have seen that. I buy she left on her own but I think she was going to be written out. Steve and Kayla were supposed to be but that changed. I'm guessing they dump Jack and Jennifer.

I'm looking forward to this! Hopefully Cady and Matt will have onscreen chemistry, and both can stay around for a while.

I think it was too hot in the kitchen for Missy.  This isn’t unlike her.  She definitely didn’t get fired, though.  This IS convenient for “Days.”  Commuting with new grandchildren during COVID likely weighed heavily in this decision.  But someone has to pay the Reeves’ bills, which is probably the only reason she’s continued commuting all these years.  Cady isn’t my first choice but this is a “get.”  If they’re committed to keeping J&J, this could be a great opportunity for the character... they’ll no longer have to work around Missy’s schedule or her anti-Peter antics.  Still, as disturbing as it is to separate Missy’s “beliefs” from Jennifer, this is still heartbreaking for me.  She as Jennifer represents such an integral part of this show and its legacy.

Forgot about that! Can we pretty please bring back Jason Brooks and torch that bridge with Missy forever?

Waiting for news that Matthew Ashford has been fired again and recast with Hunt Block.
