i LOVED S2! Megan is a revelation, and literally needs to cross-over to the main show as the matriarch of the DiMera family to get them all together, which is muchly needed. I also liked the Johnny and Stephanie recasts and hope Johnny crosses-over like she is. And building-out the Shin family is also great! I hope Li Shin is a contract character after this. The Paul stuff was cute, too! He can jump back over to the main show, too. I would *love* for him to be around trying to seduce Sunny while Will's away. LOL And I am SOOOOOO glad they did what they did as the main plot. Not too bogged down by convoluted details, but still enough in-universe info to make it believable.

Spoiler

So does this mean Peter Reckell is out of retirement and he and Kristian Alfonso are back on contract? 

i hope so!
