DAYS: Fire Jamey Giddens!!

[Spoon]

So by your logic Roger and Holly should've never returned to GL in '89 because they were ancient history and the show was 95 percent different cast characters.

[BetterForgotten]

They probably don’t want to pay royalties for actors no longer on the show, hence no old flashbacks. Which begs the question - why bother at all then? 

[Spoon]

True, too cheap.  If you can't  do a story right don't even try.  I think a plethora of flashbacks would've made the story work as it has potential.

[carolineg]

It's two completely different things lol.  PS/Renee aren't returning it's Sarah as Renee lol!  Explain to me how you compare it?

[Khan]

Well, at the very least, DAYS could run promos during commercial breaks: "Want to know MORE about Renee DiMera?  Go to NBC.com/DAYS and read all about her wild adventures in Salem!  You can even watch hand-selected clips and see what Renee [shot of PS], Tony [shot of TP], Anna [shot of LH] and everyone else [brief clips of other characters from that period] was up to back in the day!"

Wait, did they kill off Lee?

You can't explain it, because it doesn't compare.  Spoon's just pissed that hardly anyone else on this board thinks this Sarenee [!@#$%^&*] is gold just because it's showing off itself by dropping old character names.

[Liberty City]

It's sad, especially since he isn't even that talented.

[Spoon]

The story isn't  great but l will take history in any form.  Jamey had lots of great ideas in his podcast referencing history and all that. To me the main draw of soaps in the continuity.  I think Saranee is crap but I really do appreciate name dropping.

It's referencing show history, that's how I see it.

He had great ideas on his podcast and it's great to see someone who loves the genre be able to contribute to the medium.

I'm not defending the Renee story, I'm  defending Jamey and using a shows deep history.  I appreciate deep cuts, even if I wasn't  watching back then.

Agree to disagree, no hard feelings man!

[Khan]

Exactly.  I respect your opinion(s) on this subject, but I just can't see it the same way you do.  Sorry.

[carolineg]

Perfect.  That would be great to at least give the viewer some insight.

I just assume Lee is dead.  I don't think it's ever been mentioned, but with BB's passing I always just thought they wouldn't touch it.

Lol!  I was trying to rack my brain to figure out how MZ and MG returning after 10 years is the same as LG faux playing Renee after 40 years.

Referencing history is the Devil saying Belle was the product of passion and infidelity.  True facts.

Maligning history is what this Sarah/Renee story is doing.  Just my opinion.

[Khan]

They probably wouldn't, given the circumstances surrounding BB's death.  Then again, this is the show that saw nothing wrong with using the late Macdonald Carey's disembodied face to scare the bejeezus out of Marlena.

Yep Next someone will channel Lee & be in love with Doug

[Khan]

It won't be someone.  It'll be Gabi.  That way, Ron Carlivati can rehash her feud with Julie.

[John]

Then we we critique Ron C will come for our heads
