DAYS: Hogan Sheffer, Kola Boof {Merged Threads}

I agree that all three are awesome (I'd rank them SN then MA then Warlock but they're definitely some of the show's best actors). Still, Matt's getting the better material this week (with Warlock close behind).

Yep. (oops, editing to clarify that I agree with your 2nd sentence. All 4 are the strongest actors, but I'd put Reckell between MA and BW).

Also, the guy who plays Max is fairly untested but I think he has a lot of potential. I'd be very interested to see what he could do with a meaty story.

What's even better, all 5 of the men are connected in various ways because of their histories.

Without a doubt they are, and of course I would hate to see any of them be cut from the cast. Its certain it won't be Nichols, but I would hate to lose any of the rest. These four actors really give their all when they get a good script which Hogan can deliver.

I agree with all you said, but I'd add in Bryan Datillo, James Reynolds and John Anniston as great male actors as well. Darrin Brooks and the James Scott could get there too... Days does have the strongest male cast they have had in ages, but it would count for naught if all we ever saw was John, Roman, Austin, Shawn and Phillip (which is how it was a while back)

ITA. The males were severely lacking for a while. But now that Bo, Abe, Jack, Patch, Frankie, Lucas are on, and with the additions of Max and EJ, things are looking up for the guys. JER wrote men as stupid idiots blinded by their women, so hopefully the new writers will change that. You can slowly see the new direction, especially in yesterday's episode. The men were on fire, even Austin Peck was good in his scene begging Sami to tell the truth.

Not really. The conversation is about Sheffer and Boof and changes that they might bring about. I think a discussion about the actors we hope they'll keep is germain. But I guess that's the mods call :)

    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that.
