I think the only addition that has worked in the past few years has been Audra. They really should slowly build a family around her and get into her backstory. She had the potential to be the young vixen the show reallllllly needed, but they've dropped the ball.
Adam and Chelsea seem kinda redundant.
I'm just going to say it....I think Phyllis is beyond played out. I like Daniel, but I'm not sure where he'd fit in. I also liked Lucy and thought she'd be a great one to build a teen story around.
Matt, Sienna, and Patty are no-brainers.
I wish the show would write for Marian and Tessa, but they've let them wither away.
Devon seems a bit played out, but I'd find a way to keep him around. Ever since they made him super rich, he hasn't had much to do. What if he lost it all somehow?
We reallllly need more characters that AREN'T Newmans.
I love Eric B, but he's 85. At some point, the show has to think about what the future will be story-wise if he's unable to do the show at some point. That being said, I wish they could give Victor a story that taps into something emotional for him...not just the Jack-hate or breaking up with Nikki every few years...or being a jackass to his family.
I like Michael and Lauren, but they've been given scraps. Brining Fen back full-time would give them something to do and beef up that generation.
At this point, I also wonder how many actors who are listed as contract are really recurring.
