And of course, firing Greg Rikaart and killing off Leo once and for all. 

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?😂

Yes.

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.

What I figure is that they waited to fire him so the WGA wouldn't fine them. Have to wait a certain amount of time after a strike. 

I know they would always say "can't afford to" but at times one needs to.

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.

And if that's not possible?  For God's sake: KILL. LEO.

He looks nothing like EJ.

Of the DiMeras keep Chad, keep Kristen & keep EJ. Johnny to me is a dreadful bore. Stefan, I mean why do we need him?

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.

Definitely get rid of Connie & Ghost Li.

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.
