Can they update Chandler pic? I mean it's a great pic but it's from 1975..

 Tina Huang(Melinda) is pictured before Greg Vaughn.

Does this mean Trask is put on contract? I like her and the show needs non-Horton/Brady/Dimeras on the canvas so I'm happy.

After Lamon Archey is Bryan Dattillo!!

Sucks that it's a bland recast of Trask and not the original. Better than nothing, I suppose.

I’ve gotten used to this one but I wish they’d flesh her out a little bit and maybe have her actually win a case.

So if Zach if on row 4 and Chandler is row 5, does that mean Zach's on contract and Chandler is recurring? I'm curious how that's going to work in the long run. 

[Soapsuds]

I think Jason said row 4 could be recurring too.

I was assuming they listed them by seniority, thus if both were on recurring, Chandler would be ahead of Zach, but it looks like Eric M is in row 1 ahead of Diedre and Drake, so maybe that's not how they are listed. Regardless, judging from the one Michael Fairman interview where he asked them if they wanted to come back full time. Zach gave a strong yes, he would and Chandler said he's only interested in doing shorter stints. Now that they have a great actor in the role of Sonny and people like, they'd be stupid to not lock down at least one half of WilSon.

Yes Chandler, Zach and Greg are back on the main show

Days works their recurring actors well. Im not concerned if Will & Sonny are recurring or Contract. I think Days knows fans wanna see Wilson in Salem

No, most of the bottom two rows are recurring.

There's always been a split with all the contract cast first (usually in contract signing order, or close enough), followed by the recurring actors in any random order, not signifying seniority, so that's why we never know where the contract cast ends. They usually average 30-34ish on contract, so most likely the top 3 rows (33...30 we can see, 3 we can't) are contract and a majority of rows 4 & 5 are recurring.

 

This seems to be the actors, as far as I can tell: 

1st Row: Suzanne Rogers (Maggie), Lauren Koslow (Kate), Josh Taylor (Roman), Jim Reynolds (Abe), Eric Martsolf (Brady), Deidre Hall (Marlena), Drake Hogestyn (John), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Rob Wilson (Ben), Ari Zucker (Nicole), Paul Telfer (Xander, not pictured); 2nd Row: Stephen Nichols (Steve), Lindsay Arnold (Allie), Emily O'Brien (Gwen), Lucas Adams (Tripp), Billy Flynn (Chad), Brandon Barash (Jake), Tamara Braun (Ava), Galen Gering (Rafe), Camila Banus (Gabi), Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe), Brandon Beemer (Shawn; not pictured); 3rd Row: Martha Madison (Belle), Jackee Harry (Paulina), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Dan Feuerriegel (EJ), Carson Boatman (Johnny), Matt Ashford (Jack), Marci Miller (Abigail), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), new contract actor (TBA), Sal Stowers (Lani), 11th photo not pictured (possibly contract or recurring); 4th Row (either some contract or all recurring actors): Zach Tinker (Sonny), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Victoria Konefal (Ciara), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen/Susan), Susan Hayes (Julie), Bill Hayes (Doug), Judi Evans (Bonnie), Wally Kurth (Justin), John Aniston (Victor), Patrika Darbo (Nancy), 11th photo not pictured; 5th Row: Heather Lindell (Jan), Thaao Penghlis (Tony), Leaan Hunley (Anna), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), Tina Huang (Trask), Greg Vaughan (Eric), Chandler Massey (Will), Lamon Archey (Eli), Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) and ??.

I really believe he would do long term if Days was really invested in Will and Sonny. He has moved back to Atlanta and has a business job which Chandler said he could do remotely.

I'm excited to see Sonny back on the main show now that Zack is in the role.

Look at Victoria Konefal... She is recurring and appears on almost every episode. Let's hope Chandler and Zach get the same air time.

I do wonder if the last person in row 5 is a recast Ari?

[FrenchBug82]

This thread had spoiled it already but it is confirmed Sarah is coming back. I am ambivalent about the character but I love LG and I am glad she is well again enough to go back to work.
