LMFAO!

As for Chad Brannon, I always thought he was sexy in a rootable hero sort of way. But he's not a macho-chacho stud, either. And I like that. It makes him perfect for Shawn Brady. And I could see him having lots of chemistry with Martha Madison.

Wow.

Could this be the younger actor they want back? Could they be going after Collin O'Donnell? A stretch, I know ... but it is interesting how this pops up ... (although I still hope it's JKJ as Philip)

Anyway, if not, and WHEN (of course they will) they recast, Chad Brannon or Brian Presley would be great choices. Probably not very cheap, but can't be that expensive either ... But I'm sure they'll go for a complete newbie because it'd cost a LOT less.

So is Jason Cook just up and quitting? I read on Jason47's page that Cook's contract isn't up until 2007...

SOW article, Credit goes to Freda from TBN:

Days of our Lives is losing three of its biggest stars - two temporarily, one long-term.

According to insiders, Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestryn will drop off the canvas for two months this summer while Jason Cook reportedly is leaving the show when his contract expires in September.

Sources say Hall and Hogestryn will be written out to save money; major budget cuts were part of the show's renewal agreement with NBC. When asked for comment, a Days rep responded, " The John, MArlena and Alex story came to a conclusion. As always, certain stories play frontburner for a while and then move backburner as storytelling dictates. This is not unusual John and Marlena are as important to our show as always."

The rep had no comment on Cook's exit, reminding us that the show never discusses contracts. Cook, who has long aspired to produce, direct and write, apparently has several film projects in the works that he wants to pursue. Cook joined Days in 1999.

I dont mind J&M gone for a little while but then entire summer, what gives? There is no way after what Marlena has just been through the last oh 3 years she would miss Sami or Carrie's wedding. The weddings better not even take place now.

I'm torn..i'm not a fan of Cook at all..But its going to be tough on Days having so many recasts..if they recast Shawn, Phillip, and Jennifer..the show will be so different..

this was a casting spoiler i wasn't prepared for, i was hoping it was Brody..

Actually ... I was thinking about the contract thing. He started in 1999, so, if he signed a typical three year deal 1999-2002. Then 2002-2005. And then he could of signed a one year extension, 2005-2006. Makes more sense than his contract expiring in 2007 ...

Marlena has favoritism.

When Marlena lost her memory, we would get many scence with her and Belle, but there was not a one with Marlena and Sami or Marlena and Carrie. Yea, neither Sami or Carrie put the effort in to see the mother, but if you can go visit one why not the other 2.

Back on topic, I wonder how FF is taking the news. Her and JC were pretty close. They both loved Shimi nad loved working together.

      I HATED Infinity (I could care less about Kyle Sampson and his hanger ons and the dumb Lujack video, and Mindy and Kurt were strong armed into being a fave couple and married off way too soon (Jeva didnt get that big of a wedding.) I did like the Fishing Mystery (despite the changing of history..it was murky enough that it could be fudged) and the Cabin mystery started out good ..I thought Tony was hot and I liked Annabelle, it had supernatural elements but they did not overtake the story (i.e. Reva traveling through time..) and I love a gothic mystery.. however, it was bizarre that nosy Nola wasnt in the mix...she barely seemed interested that her sister in law was psychic, there may be ghosts in her brothers house, etc.  I don't know if there was a behind the scenes issue with Brown and Kobe, or if Long just wanst interested or felt tied up writing for Quola.  I would have had Quint blow up in the cabin instead of Hillary but..The big problem that the end result was...boring. Okay so there are black Spauldings..and they disappeared...so what now? Not only was J gross...(I can't believe the actor IS actually just as obnoxious as J) they made Chelle into an airhead horn dog going after her cousin. Yes, by adoption but still her cousin. I wondered why she was not calling Nola "Aunt" when she first arrived, and they barely acknowledge each other ( I would think Nola would glomb on to mothering her sister's daughter, especially with Stacy not in town, much to Ed's chagrin) but it was in service to...this??? Wait until Chele gets all horny for an angel...oyyyy!

      Happy to see this!

        I know, I'm getting the sense they expected Beaty to stay if they were going the rehabilitation route with Abby. A few weeks ago, when Michelle was dressing sexy for her date with J, she let Abby try on a dress and Rick then taught her what dating was like, and she went in and kissed him. They were clearly setting up the Abby/Rick story, but then suddenly it has pivoted to Rick falling back in love with Annie and trying to convince her not to go to Josh since he and Reva are secretly meeting at the cabin (Annie is getting unhinged here). But with Rick focused on Annie again, it would have left room for Abby to work with Brent, had Beaty stayed (at least this is what I'm assuming based on what I'm seeing). Rick is also now in Blake's orbit - they both just got in a bar fight post-Ross/Amanda kissing and Annie rejecting Rick's advances. They're together and Blake is now coming onto Rick while they drink... uh oh.

      She is truly in such a delusional state that it's hard to know what's true but I'm sure there are some easter eggs in there. I am very curious to see how they utilize Leslie now that everybody knows who she is. If they do go with a connection to Anita in someway that would definitely be interesting. Anita was the first and only person so far that Leslie seemed intimidated by.

      I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day.  I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's.  I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well.  I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol.  I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then.  Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol.  I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.

      I might've somehow missed it but what happened to Jacob's partner Detective Marcel Malone? And Jacob's shiny bald headed daddy Chief Elon Hawthorne as well?

      Agree to disagree. I think both Jason & Carly do human connecting pretty much all the time. Sonny is different. And I think Jason's return is pretty clear. It was, and is, about Jason's capacity for self-sacrifice & his capacity to dedicate himself to a thing or person or whatever in a very singular, possibly even extreme way. Steve has tried to make the point to fans that Jason would have possibly done this for other people, not just for Carly. If I try to follow that to some conclusion, I ask myself who? Danny? Yes. Jake? Yes. Sonny? Yes. Sam? I'm not sure. Liz? I think so,  probably. Monica? Definitely.  Any other Q? No. Spinelli? Strong maybe.  What do you think?  One thing that helps me think about it is the speech he gave when he talked about getting the new ink. (tatooed arm) Valerie Cooper? Or Spencer?

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      After Season 1 they jumped to Season 25. I queried why but they didn’t reply. They’ve also added the episodes to their on-demand section too (as well as live streaming them)  Oddly, some S25 episodes are the longer 21-22 minute edit used for international distribution, but the majority appear to be the shorter US edit. They also blur out the B&B web-address at the end of the credits which I can’t fathom why. They’re also very diligent in ensuring the ‘BBL Distribution’ slide is cut from the very end too - there’s an abrupt fade out of the music which typically would overlay into the distribution credit.

      Did anyone see this? It was really good and far more important to the future of the MCU than people expected. The fact is its not a Thunderbolts film but stealth

        This was definitely Yelena's movie. I love how she was utilized
