This is a must!

Bring the gay quad back.

Hope and Bo return to at least finish up the story from BS.

More family grounded stories.

Write out the Dimeras but only keep EJ.

Bring back other fan favorites with meaningful and believe stories.

Quit double casting. Does that make sense?

I've done this already two other places. I gladly do it again here. 

First, agree about tone & style. Latex masks, back from the dead, demonic possession not done well, etc. Also agree about Leo, and about too many DiMeras & not enough Hortons. 

So, to it. My list. Bope, Recast Sami, we all know my primary nominee. Cast Sydney. Avery Pohl has been suggested. Theo & Claire. Martha Madison. If they could get Lindsay Arnold back, plum! 

But most of all, tell a totally different kind of story. More heart, more family dynamics. I'd love to see Mark Valley & Cady McClain run the paper again. Find some way to bring Laura, Abby & Adrienne back. Oh, I forgot JJ. 

And my last wish is possibly the most important one of all, throw out 3-4 months of writing that hasn't been taped yet & get us a little bit closer to reality. 10 months out is just too wrong.

While that would be great, the fact that they seemingly waited out Ron's contract instead of replacing him along with Alarr makes me think the budget isn't there to waste 3-4 months of scripts. At best Cwikly and Ford might be able to go back and re-write some stuff to fit with their material better.

Bo and Hope definitely

As for the Dimeras, I think they should keep Chad and Johnny, but have Johnny finally remember that he’s also a Brady.

And you know I’d love a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew quad too 

But if we can’t get that, I’d also love #Dandrew

I don't consider Chad a Dimera. So I wasn't talking about him when I said the Dimeras had to go. Johnny does nothing for me and Carson Boatman can't act. 

Dandrew? The doctor and Andrew?

ITA. One of the reasons I stopped watching cold turkey about a year ago is that DAYS started to feel like a PARODY OF DAYS. The mask wearing took me over the edge. They need to get back to simpler family based stories and romance. Give us a reason to CARE about these characters!

Regarding Johnny, has anyone else noticed that he FAR MORE looks like he could be Lucas's son versus EJ. The same height and similar features. That could be a great twist and would upend EJ's life.

There are WAAAAYYYYYYY too many Dimeras on this show. Stefan seems very redundant as a character. Love the actor, but the character bores the hell out of me. There just doesn't seem to be a point to him. Johnny needs a new direction if they're going to keep him. I would rest Kristen for a good while, too. She's a character that works best in small doses to stir the pot. Again, I'd love to see them bring Theo on full-time and have him torn between his Carver and DiMera sides just as his mother was once.

Goodbye to Ava, Leo, Stefan, Gabi, Tate, Holly and fake Abby.

Make the Hortons the core family!

  • Bring back Mike with his wife and preteen son and daughter. Eventually Mike’s children become part of a teen group played by actual teenagers!
  • Eventually bring back Jeremy to have an affair with his step mother.
  • Bring back Lucas and give him a new romance.  With Jada maybe.
  • Make Everett Jessica Blake’s son that she had during one of her DID periods.  I think Everett could work with better writing and ties to the Hortons.
  • Over time bring back other Hortons.  Some on contract and some as guest stars.

A big story for Bo and Hope.  Peter and Kristen would need to sign on for at least a year to do it justice.  

Put Shawn and Belle front and centre. Give them a story where they work together and are happy.  Belle then gets pregnant with their son only to have Talia to return with her son by Shawn who is need of medical treatment. 

Reduce the number of DiMeras.

  • Tony as the head of the family with Anna at his side.
  • EJ and Chad plus their children. 
  • Kristen, Peter, Megan, Dimitri and Stefan can come in and out for short arcs to drive story.

Give Abe his family back! Bring back Theo and eventually Jett with a son to be part of the teen scene.

Dimitri and Andrew

They could still say that the two of them had a fling while Dimitri was in the ISA pretending to be Kyle Graham 

Mark and Andrew would be #Mandrew

I wouldn’t mind that. It’s definitely time for EJ to be the villain and stay as the villain.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
