Members AlexElizabeth Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) He's the worst character on the show hands down. All of his relationships on the show, like this crap with Marlena, are just offensive. He "killed" her grandson, yet they're BFF. I would love to see him, Ciara, and Claire all leave. RSW needs to go back to The Price is Right, lol. Edited July 11, 2021 by AlexElizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 He doesn't do anything! All he does is repeat the same stuff about Ciara like 4 days a week to different characters. Seriously what has Ben done in months? He is either being creepy with Ciara or talking to others about how creepily he's obsessed with Ciara. The show has a way out. Write him off with Ciara. That will make the Cin fans get a happy ending and they can come back and visit after a nice long honeymoon and break from our screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Me too. But sadly we're stuck with him. What happened to the days of firing the actor because the actress left? lol now all of a sudden they want to keep them around and cater to the actress? Cin is nothing but stanbaiting at it's worst. Right? What an absolute waste of her airtime. Sigh. Make it make sense. #BenIsAPet LOL Edited July 11, 2021 by KMan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 I’m perfectly happy with no Ciara if it gets rid of the serial killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) EXACTLY. I hate everything about Ben. Ron doesn't know subtle if it hit him in the face. He forces so much crap. And I wouldn't mind, say Jack and Xander, if these people's airtime weren't devoted to The Writer's pets and they had more natural interactions with their, you know, family. We used to get both in a show with an actual budget and someone who could plot a storyline. We FINALLY have Jack back and what do we get? No Jennifer, Abby or JJ. Yet here's his insta-daughter (that we all liked until he started forcing it and making Abby 'seem worse'). Make it make sense? (EDIT: How could I forget a dead Laura treated like a dayplayer?) Ron doesn't do storylines. He does plot points. I will say something nice in that I appreciate the use of Tony, that's all I've wanted for the character, just be the 'head of the family' and pop in and be supporting. I'd like more of Anna but I know the show has no budget. And the treatment of Marlena/John and their airtime with their family has been weird for years and years now. I've long heard Alarr or a producer hated their family. It would all make sense if Alarr were a Ben stan but I feel like that goes to Ron. (Rumors, take it for what you will, had Alarr as a Suzanne/Maggie stan, taking that side and not wanting Marlena to have too much family on the canvas. And the editor too. Fay or whoever. There's a reason certain people get cut but others don't.) Some of it makes sense to me, some of it seems a bit far fetched but who knows? I can buy it.

Members Antoyne Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tony works perfectly as the elder DiMera and head of the family now. Not evil like his father but not a little pushover. I would actually like to see him and Anna a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 I wish John Aniston nothing but a long healthy life but obviously it makes sense to prepare for when we will lose him and it seems Tony can hold roughly the same space on the canvas as Victor does now.

Members Liberty City Posted July 11, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 It baffles me TPTB did not keep Cady McClain on as Jennifer, or that we haven't even had news of her returning. I'm hoping once Marci Miller returns we will have McClain following behind her, because it is a bit awkward with Jack living in the Horton home with his "insta-retcon daughter," and Jennifer is M.I.A.

Members Antoyne Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 Agreed. Though I wish there was a more heir apparent for the Kiriakis family. If they used Justin more he could be as the eldest but he’s barely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 I hope so! I'm kinda hoping a recast Peter Blake has them both hostage Please register in order to view this content LOL I know they did give Jack stuff with Abby and JJ but it just bugs me we finally have him back and he's playing father to Gwen and Xander. I agree. Would love more of him and Anna. It's just nice having them both 'around' instead of appearing and then disappearing for the rest of the year. They can both be used a little bit more, especially Anna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted July 13, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 Haha. A recast Peter Blake with William deVry (ex-Julian, GH; ex-Storm, B&B et al). I do believe he and McClain would have beautiful chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'd be open to it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 Or Ted King maybe. Only if Missy is completely gone and Jason Brooks isn’t a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 13, 2021 Members Share Posted July 13, 2021 So many actors in that age range who'd be acceptable ... I wish they'd make a call on Jennifer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
