Let's assume that the fine people of Salem start to investigate Will's death & question if what Ben is saying might be true. Suppose you are Eve or a person who cared about Serena, wouldn't you then blindly open yourself upto the possibility that Paige & Serena could be alive. A beat would be missing from this storyline if Eve doesn't return to leave no stone unturned. Also if Eric doesn't at least question Serena's situation, especially based on their history and the nature of their relationship near to her death, that will be an epic fail for me.

They don't have to be alive, but their deaths need to be revisited for sure.
Perhaps Eve will have Paige's body dug up .
I think Eric has his mind on other matters..... ;)
Alternatively if Eric and Nicole declare their love to each other and then that comes to a screaming halt because of dead Serena , a pack of sparkly diamonds up an elephants arse will seem comfortable by comparison to what I'm thinking of doing to said writers.
My problem with current Eric & what is transpiring is that his charcter has been completely isolated in a storyline dominated by Nicole alone. Eric Brady hardly exists outside her presence. I get that Eric has fled Salem to spare his true love Nicole pain, I can accept and understand their reunion but, I want him to have a part of his family storyline also. Sami is his twin sister and Will Horton is her son & I would have liked for him to be present when his nephews murderer showed up and announced Will was alive. I would have liked for him to be near his mother when she was rattled with this information. He was present at Chad & Abby's first wedding, so attending would have been the norm. Also, his sorta step-brother was getting married and Marlena hardly spoke a word about him not attending. I would think that if the person who killed a woman who you proclaimed to love, who's was your lover not all that long before you discovered her dead body suddenly announced someone everyone believed he murdered was alive, that Eric would at least wonder or follow up and question Serena's situation. If JJ gets to question Paige's status and wonder, than my hope is that Eric at least gets to acknowledge Serena's death and the possibility that it might not be as it seemed.

This storyline is still in the beginning stages, so I will hope that he does get to be involved in this Ben/Will situation just a little at one point.

This is probably a dumb question, and who better to ask it than me. ;) I see Chandler isn't listed in the guest stars this week, but there were flashbacks including him that were used in Monday's episode. Does he still get credit for appearing (and compensation of some sort) or nah, since it wasn't a new appearance?
He gets paid a full episode fee, just as anyone else who appears in flashbacks only.
This makes me wonder what happens in the case where the person shown in a flashback is deceased.

FATES OF PAIGE LARSON & SERENA MASON...

With Ben saying that Will is alive, fans have been wondering about the possibility that Paige and Serena could also be alive. Today, Ben indicated to JJ that Paige is dead. Do you believe him? Paige's mother, Eve, returns later this month.
You are getting my hopes up!

Quite honestly, I'd be fine with Paige and Serena turning up alive as well. It doesn't mean the characters need to stay on the show. Paige could make peace with JJ and Eve and head to Stanford. Serena could return to her work in Africa. (Although I'd rather Melissa Archer stay as Sarah Horton).

The best reason for Paige, Serena, and the midwife to be alive is because it would mean Ben hadn't killed anyone and RSW could stay on the show.

Of course, being a serial killer doesn't mean you can't have a productive life in Salem. :rolleyes:

However, I think if Serena and Paige were alive, we'd have heard about True and Melissa being back on set by now.

I think Melissa Archer is great but I'm sure Serena and Paige are going to stay dead. I just don't see the relevance in bringing either character back, and this is coming from a huge KDP/Eve fan.

They don't have to bring Paige and Serena back to the show for them to be alive. They could be found alive and then sent away pretty quickly. From a plot standpoint, bringing them back briefly could make for some compelling storylines, particularly for JJ and Eric, whose lives were upended by the deaths. Even if it were that they are alive, but being taken to Bayview for care given what they have gone through, it could still drive plots. Also, bringing back Paige with a capable actress might be nice. Despite True's limitations, Paige was a smart younger woman with some goals and ambition, something greatly lacking in the younger female characters.

See, my big problem with bringing Paige back alive is that it renders KdP's Eve null and void. She's a very strong actress, but her rendition of the character only started working -- that's acting and writing working in tandem to produce something compelling -- after Paige's death. Having her think Paige was dead and then finding out she's alive completely changes Eve's character (or should). She should be peaceful and content and not meddling in other people's business, which is dramatically pretty useless.

I also don't want some rewrite that allows RSW to stay on the show. Ben only became interesting when he went insane. RSW was likable before that, but not particularly impressive (I think he had charisma even before his acting game stepped up -- same on AMC 2.0), and Ben was an abysmally dull character. Ben/Abigail were boring as hell and a complete B-level couple. I think there could be compelling short arcs to be written for a damaged, imprisoned Ben, but the last thing this show needs is to undo an actual interesting character arc in the name of keeping an actor who's primarily gained fans because of that arc.

I loved True/Paige, but Paige should stay dead. Some have to stay dead so the next serial killer storyline is taken (somewhat) seriously.

Its true. How many killers are walking around Salem. I mean, how many people has Victor tried to kill? How bout Kate? Nicole. Andre. They could find a way to keep Ben on if they wanted.

SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS FOR MIRANDA CHERYL-ANN WILSON INTERVIEW...

Posted Image

"Days" fans, if you have any questions you'd like to ask Miranda Cheryl-Ann Wilson, who played Stefano's daughter Megan Hathaway, on "Days" from 1984-1985, please post them below. I'll pick some of the best ones and include them in my interview with her.

I watched the episode of Megan's death just the other day. I enjoyed the actress, I was disappointed she didn't last longer. Maybe ask her about the fans back then, any good or bad experiences to share with us?

I don't have much investment in the character of Megan. I wonder if she's kept up with the show since she was on it. If she has kept up, maybe ask how she'd like to see Megan integrated back onto the show in the DiMera family.

This reminded me again how much I wanted Joe Mascolo/Stefano to have scenes with all his dead children before the character's last exit. This could have been such a sweet "goodbye".

We saw a pic of Miranda warmly hugging Joe Mascolo at the Days 50th party. I wonder how it felt to have a possibility to meet colleagues/co-stars after 30 years and to be together with all the people who were on the show during all these years.

Megan was a great villain.

She came on the show when Bo and Hope were exploding as one of the most popular supercouples in daytime. I wonder how it was for her to be in the middle of all of that? Did she get backlash from fans, or were they good about separating reality from TV?

I'd also love to know how she got along with PR and KA, but that might be too much to ask - or she'll just lie. ;)

I forgot...what year was this? And what really happened? My mind is fogged up. And I really do miss Stefano because of this vid. So thank you, Jason! :smile:

I'd like to see a return of the character. I think it would bring a new dynamic to the DiMera family. Plus Megan is still quite attractive.

I'd probably ask her what the circumstances were that led to her departure. Did new writers come in at the time, did they tell her the character just wasn't working, were there budget cuts, was no reason provided to her at all?

Also who on the show at the time did she pal around with?

Does she have any fun stories that happened during her time on DAYS?

What did she think of Joe (Stefano) coming in to work always in character?

Who was most helpful to her in getting oriented on set?

Did she get to speak to Ken Corday or other producers at the 50th anniversary party and was there ever any mention of coming back to the show. Did she run into Philece Sampler or other Dimera children at the party? I think there may have been a picture if I recall. Has she run into Thaao, Jason Brooks, the person who played Benji, Casey Dietrick, Renee Jones, Eileen Davidson, Billy Flynn, or any other DiMera children I may have forgotten.

There were pictures of her with Philece, Leann, Thaao, Andrew, Kristian.
