Lexie was pretty much a prop until the baby switch, that's when she came alive. I remember wishing Kristen was around to tell her "told ya so" back then.

I think it would be interesting to see their dynamic now. That's why I say recast, reinvent the character a bit and throw her into the middle of everything.

If there was ever a time to bring her back it's now.  With the canvas set up the way it is she's a valuable piece of the puzzle.

I definitely think it would be a great time to bring Lexie back.  I did like RJ, but I don't think she's unrecastable or anything.  The show has recast much more iconic characters like Bo, Roman, Kristen, etc. and there are plenty of actress out there that could do Lexie justice.  I wish they would bring Peter and Lexie back and revive the Dimeras because what we have now isn't what it could be.

The should definitely revive the DiMeras.

We have a solid, popular recast in EJ. Stacy has been killing it since 2018. Tony and Anna are the DiMera Doug and Julie, quirky and classy. Chad is late to the family but brings balance to all the crazy. Bring Lexie back, un-DiMera Jake, make Peter Stefano and Vivian's son. Make DiMera Enterprises a prize and the story writes itself. Every component is workable.

With that mix of characters, the characters they're connected with, Kristen's crazy and the scar of Stefano's legacy you could make a spinoff out of DiMera Manor alone.

I do like Brandon Barash so they can keep Jake. Just do something interesting with him.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

I went through some personal stuff and quit watching for a while but I picked it back up in May.

It's been a revelation how good Stacy is. Anyone who knows me knows I'm an OG Kristen stan and I love Stacy. Best recast I could've picked.

The show is good right now minus the possession story. I had high hopes and it's been a mess. But it's fun watching and posting again.

Jasmine?

Ron would love it -- he'd bring back Marie-Alise Recasner as Lynn Burke for some cutesy lines about her and Lexie having beef 'cause each thinks the other ghosted her in college.

I mean, if you're gonna bring Lexie back from the dead, you can't do it with some mealy-mouthed nothing who'll fade into the cheap woodwork within six months and then be promptly killed off (again).  NuLexie's got to be portrayed by someone who can bring the fire and heat that served the character well in her biggest, most OTT moments.

Jasmine crossed my mind but I think I've settled on Michael Michele for my wishful Lexie. I love Jasmine though!

I love the Nurse Lynn idea. She was a great diabolical sidekick for Kristen and Marie Alise Recasner was great! They expanded her into other stories, at one point she was a foil for Sami, but Nurse Lynn should've always been a bigger character.

Her and Lexie going to med school together is a great idea!

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?
