Personally I'm feeling real down in the dumps about them losing 3 diversity characters who are also legacy characters. Seems like such a waste. Will & Allie, Sami/Lucas, Horton & Brady. With Allie we also lose the twin things with Johnny. And, Sonny, Justin/Adrienne, Kiriakis & Johnson. Plus all 3 gay leaving only Chanel & Leo till we get an infusion in March. And, I suppose they are going to be playing Chanel as straight for the foreseeable future.

Yup. But considering he also had a guest role in CSI: Vegas makes me think someone at CBS likes him. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets cast in a pilot, depending on how far they're planning to take the Fire Country role.

At a stretch I could see Tinker returning for a one-off for Victor's funeral/memorial episode, but I can't see him coming back for even a short story arc at this point. His career is taking off and he's leaving daytime behind for now. I guess they could get Freddie back though.

Well, that was a good show. Sonia & Kreizman did well. But, I still don't know who stole the orchid, although it seems like the guys do! And, Jake did a good deed. But it was Challie that was amazing. Not only did they have an honest to goodness good farewell where they talked & hugged & cried, but Allie relived their whole relationship in flashback as she cried after Chanel left. I dunno. They're still very much in love with each other & they were very careful & tender with each other at the end, so maybe they're leaving a door open for the distant future.

I do like Allie and I agree she deserves better than this. F' gods sake she's the daughter of Sami & Lucas making her legacy Brady & Horton & Johnny's twin & they have so much twin stuff! Plus, she gave really good story with her pregnancy & backstory in London & wanting to give up Henry, etc. And, she gave good story when she was possessed. Doesn't all that count for something?!! Besides she's an excellent actress. She seems to be able to field anything they throw at her. Even hum drum daily crap. I don't know if I see coward or not. Run away or away from or toward?

I was toying with some ideas for a Peter return last night. I'm curious if anyone has thoughts.

First, I'd bring back Valley's Jack.

I'd have Abby come back with no memory where she went when she "died."

She'd be angry with Chad.

Over time she'd assimilate and run the paper with Jack, which would be a bigger part of Salem society with a SET and characters working there.

Then I'd bring Peter back.

On Chloe's arm at first, having met her out of town. She wouldn't understand the scandal at first 'til she learns he's the black sheep DiMera son and Kristen's brother. But he promises he's different now. There's genuine attraction. She ignores the naysayers.

I'd reveal Abby was with Peter when she "died" (though she'd have no memory of it) and leave the implications of that a mystery with Abby acting bizarrely at times and only Peter knowing why.

I may or may not let Jennifer entertain the idea of romancing Peter again with Peter gaslighting her but he'd mostly be battling Stefan over Chloe and his place in the DiMera family.

THEN... I'd have Peter KILL Stefan and FRAME Jack/Abby for it with the town believing Jack helped his daughter cover a mental break... and Vivian seeking VENGEANCE!

A throwback to Peter framing Jack for his "death" in '96.

Then, Peter (with Gwen) would STEAL the newspaper and use it to slander the Deveraux's with Chloe naive to Peter's true nature.

I'd involve Stephanie in this, (unwittingly?) being used by Gwen to hurt Abby. I'd have Gwen stirring the pot with Abby/Chad/Stephanie.

Chad and Jennifer would work to clear Abby's name while Stephanie doubts her innocence.

Then, on the eve of Abby's sentencing, Jennifer bursts into Peter and Chloe's engagement party to announce she's SUING the Spectator and has proof of Abby's innocence!

I'd wait longer before I reveal Peter killed Stefan (let him get closer to Chloe so she's devastated when she learns the truth) and play more with Abby's missing time and what Peter did to her and why, an arc of its own (revenge against J&J).

The fallout would put Chloe back at odds with Kristen as Kristen defends her brother against Chloe (and the Deveraux's) and Chloe turns to Brady for comfort.

I'd also have Vivian going after Peter and Kristen (who'd help him) with bloodlust. I'd pit Chad against Peter as well.

Thoughts?

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
