I think two characters can have chemistry together without it necessarily being sexual or romantic. The scenes between Chad and Gabi Friday did not give me the impression that it was romantic I saw two friends Sonny and Gabi supporting Chad through a difficult time.

TVSource Sneak Peek
Victor and Deimos summon the Kiriakis men in the hopes of combining forces to stop the evil alliance.
Does it include Philip Kiriakis too? I mean, he used to be Victor's real son, the heir of the family. If he's included he probably has some insignificant role. And since when Kiriakis' became the good guys fighting the evil alliance? what a joke this family has become, wish Philip was Kate/Stefano's son.
Because for some reason it's more important to use Brady. Funny thing is Victor used to love his son(Philip I mean for the writers), raised him(in Kiriakis mansion, or was it Brady Black? I'm confused ;) ), put him in charge of the Titan, he believed in him, admired him, so what happened? what caused such a change of heart? there should be a VERY good reason right? Or maybe when Philip went to war(twice), became a war hero, lost his leg, his face, his son to Dan, after all of this he didn't turn to drugs, didn't steal money from Victor, didn't bury someone alive, didn't fall in love with a girl who tried to kill his father, these must be the reasons, no? I can't think of any, anyone?
The writers ignorance is just amazing, just pure sh$t!

Tuesday, September 20, 2016 Victor drops a bombshell on Sonny.
Oh, I missed this. Had anyone guessed at what this is yet? I guess the most obvious thing would be something about Sonny's stabbing but I really was not expecting that to ever come up again. Whatever it is, I hope it brings Sonny's opinion of Victor back down to a tolerable level.
he wants him to be CEO at Titan, I'm calling it, LOL. Yep, that must be it, 'cause Philip Kiriakis is a rotten son.

It didn't help that the show recast Philip with an actor who should never have had the role. Victor's carefully bred and raised heir, the rich boy war hero, should not twitch. JPL plays a type. That type is not Philip Kiriakis.
... And that is why I'm concerned about a quick recast of Eric. With a vital role, you can't just take someone who's available and has some soap experience. You need someone who's right.

So Days should just kiss Greg's pretty backside and work out whatever they need to work out to let him play Eric and that guy on Queen Sugar at the same time.

Fair enough. So Days should just kiss Greg's pretty backside and work out whatever they need to work out to let him play Eric and that guy on Queen Sugar at the same time. I'd rather he was playing Eric, but I was amused that on the day Days' prison story started airing, Greg's actual naked backside appeared on QS with the OWN logo right across it.
I can accept a recast Eric. I have accepted a recast Eric after loving Jensen Ackles in the role. But I'd rather wait a few years to make sure that recasting is an absolute necessity, and to make sure that they find the right person for the third time.

I don't want to consider a recast. I really don't. But the ruthless writer in me is telling me that the character is desperately needed on numerous levels. He's probably the one character who could show up on the canvas and have about ten different layers of conflict to work with, and for a writer, that there is solid gold. And I strongly feel that if Days would try to accommodate him, Greg might be willing to come back.
Sigh. Now I just wanna cry.

I definitely got the sense that he would come back if he could do it with his other projects, too. When he was asked about Days while doing QS publicity, all he had to say was that it was a great experience and he enjoyed it, but it ended and allowed him to get QS. Instead he talked about how prison would change Eric. What's he doing thinking about what happens to his character next if he has no interest in revisiting him? And it's not as if he hasn't jumped from primetime back to soaps before. (QS may be a critical darling, but I bet Charmed was more widely watched and a bigger paycheck.) Unlike a certain other ex-Eric, he doesn't seem to want to expunge daytime drama from his resume.
But dates would need to line up and the show would need to be smart, and I'm well aware that we can't count on either of those things.

Random, but the ratings for Queen Sugar remind me of why soaps ratings aren't as bad as we think. They got more viewers than Days, but barely and those ratings were considered "amazing."

:wub2:
So many of us just really NEED him back.
Although on the more realistic side I think the two different looks (Eric's and Calvin's) might be an issue. But Eric is in prison...so maybe not!

But that's why wardrobe departments invented wigs to inflict on actors who did something to their hair without permission. That's something that can be handled.

It is rather WTFery laden. I don't mind that PHilip was written as a bit more of an a-hole. I always felt he should be anyway lol

He's always been a bit of jerk IMO, but with JKJ (or even Kyle Brandt or Brandon Tyler) he was a jerk with layers and a conscience. The jerkiness should have its roots in a power that JPL is incapable of projecting.

I'd probably feel more strongly against JPL if the character were involved in stories I actually care about, but since he's not...I don't mind so much.
