I honestly don't see why the recast shouldn't be Goddard.  He's not a bad actor and he may have good chemistry with Sweeney.  

UGH. Just off the character and be done with it.

 

This at least better lead to Johnny being cast. He's clearly a daddy's boy lol.

LOL Thaao Penghlis lets the cat out of the bag again!  He also did an overseas interview back in early 2004 and revealed Marlena was the serial killer. Whoops! 

Good old Thaao.

I don't see the point of giving Sami any sort of long term love interest if Alison is just going to swoop in and out with these short stints. Even with the deal she just signed, it sounds like she will only air for 2021 and then she leaves again. That's not worthwhile or really long term for anyone currently on canvas, especially on a soap. Writers need to be able to build stories, relationships and connections that last and endure past a year to keep the plot going. 

 

Her doing these Eileen Davidson based runs does favors for no one. The best this could do is set up a SORAS introduction with her kids Allie, Johnny and Sydney and use that as a jump off point to reintroduce them into greater stories. The only concern I have with that is that these kids will have virtually no anchor to the show, unless this new recasted EJ is supposed to be that for them in Salem?

Any word on who the recast is going to be? Or is it really going to be Daniel Goddard?

Yeah...better three months ahead than 3 years. Good enough time to see what is working and not working writing-wise.

 

That said...I'm curious to know who it is as well. But after I talked to my co-worker who is a BIIIIIG EJami fan, I can see why they are keeping it under wraps. 

since Sarah's leaving, they're probabbly gonna have "Xander" exit and the actor play the recast of EJ. lmao I've been saying for years they should have just done that, especially when Sami came back. 

 

or, maybe, times being so touch... they might be able to pull Nathan Parsons... lol 😷

Yeah they definitely should have done that in 2014. Like Serena should have been Sarah. Xander should have been EJ. I'd also argue Aidan should have been a recast Mike Horton but I live in a different world  lol

Aiden Turner (ex-Aidan Devane, AMC) would make a great EJ imho.  Turner is 44, James Scott is 42.  Paul Leyden (ex-Simon Frasier, ATWT) might also be good, although he's 48. Daniel Goddard (ex-Cane, Y&R) is 49.

Aiden Turner is 37 and Irish.  Paul might be a good choice if he can pull off a British accent; he's Aussie; how hot is he these dayzzz?

Paul Leyden could play Jax on GH

There are two different Aidan/Aiden Turners when I Google.  One is Aidan Turner who was born in 1983 and is Irish and the Aiden Turner who was on All My Children was born in 1977 and is British.
