DAYS actor upped back to contract status

It has to be Ken Corday. On a side note, if not for E.J. Lumi would've remained the central supercouple. The rape mess aside, the chemistry with Sweeney was great with both performers. They could've milked that triangle with those two couples for years if done properly, but I don't know of a single thing DAYS has done completely properly since, what, the early '90s?

 

Since James Scott has apparently gone off to live in a commune or something and renounced show business, they should ice E.J. for good (or recast him later) and put Lucas back with Sami permanently. They were always great. But again, Corday seems to hate Lucas.

I think Corday hates Bryan Dattilo.  Either that, or BD has recurring personal issues that make keeping him on long-term next to impossible.

 

Frankly, I don't think Alison Sweeney has chemistry with anyone.  But, if the fans need and want Lumi, then I think giving them Lumi is the least they can do.

Ron always loves doing that sort of thing with offscreen partners because he feels it gives the audience closure on beloved couples. He used to regularly suggest on GH that Robert and Holly were back together even though neither actor would be onscreen at the same time; others too. I don't mind it at times or with older couples, but with Sami still in play and James Scott clearly not at all interested, they should end it.

I don't like the Lani idea, but I do agree with you about Nicole and Chloe. He never had any chemistry with them. His time with Nicole worked well originally, but that's because it was the making of her character. However, it's probably all a moot point anyway because I feel like he'll only be on contract temporarily for whatever the upcoming story is/however long Ali Sweeney sticks around. Using him as a character in his own right doesn't seem likely to me.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • 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.
