The night of the Deimos murder was definitely when we were seeing edits. I think Holly going to foster care (that was an abrupt turn) and John leaving on that last ISA trip to return Ron's first day were all edits. So that shift to more ericole definitely was Ron setting up this story. |

Right. There was a sudden change that shifted him more to Nicole. That's what I mean about his return not being for her. I don't think he was brought back for Jennifer either. I don't think he was brought back for anything specific. I mean, the fact that the first thing he did was fill the role a day player was going to fill should be proof of that lol. |

We knew a lot more back then but I remember a lot of people complaining that we didn't know enough about Ron's plans. There was so much desperation. :blulaugh: |

A day player? I thought that casting call was for name actors only. Wasn't it supposed to be a contract role - I can't remember exactly? |

I can't imagine that the show isn't aware of the draw GV brings to DAYS so I'd be hard pressed to think they would let him go. I think they leaned that lesson when it last happened. But it will be interesting to see where they take the character. I'd rather see him get involved slowly with a new female character - or a returning female - than put him back with Jennifer. I'm just not sure what a story with Jennifer would look like. I can't see the drama. And I certainly don't want Eric having to fight for her against Jack. Maybe Eric is introduced to a new female that comes to the Horton Center for help and then an entire back story evolves for her. Eric would go all out to help her and then eventually they fall in love. However they decide to use him, GV needs to stay. |

I just don't see DAYS casting a new love interest for Eric anytime soon. Especially with EM's Brady being without a love interest, add to this the addition of TC to the canvas, who is in the same age group. TPTB seem more interested in Brady and constantly giving him a love interest. I am expecting for Eric to get some focus once Nicole leaves, but I still expect the storyline to focus more on Brady & his loss than Eric. |

If I remember correctly it was for Hope, the casting call was for a man with whom would rescue her & she would have stayed in the farmhouse with. They decided to use Eric for that once they decided to bring the charcter back. A name player could be anything, look how they used Morgan Fairchild or Jennifer Landon. Even Greg R is coming on the show, but it's just a multi episode run. |

Yeah, we were speculating he might be a new love interest for Hope (or Mike Horton) lol. But they probably decided to continue with Rope ^o) . Unfortunately. Btw, found the casting call, it said "contract role". http://cbs.soapsindepth.com/posts/days-of-our-lives-casting-new-doctor-104757/photos/jon-hensley-jpi-164372 |

I remember that the guy who played the porn addict auditionned for the role that was replaced by Eric. My assumption is that someone like Meng realized that the decision to let go Greg Vaughan was very unpopular so they contacted him to let him know the door was open when he was available (he was engaged with Queen Sugar at the time). And when Greg was ready, they just told Dena to write his return but she was too lazy to rewrite something so she just changed the name of the character. I suppose we should be thankful Eric didn't fall in love with Hope and became obsessed with her, until Rafe came to rescue her. |

GV said he was contacted just after his last episodes had aired. I guess the reaction on social media might have impressed TPTB. Edited by thepadange, Oct 14 2017, 01:32 PM.

Right. But again. That shows he wasn’t brought back for Nicole. He was just brought back. |

But he had written all of those letters to Nicole from prison. And the Greece story did happen under Dena I believe. I remember Brady and Jennifer were sharing different scenes around this time as well. I actually think she was heading to a Brady/Nicole/Eric/Jenn quadrangle but I guess we'll never know. |

I wouldn't mind it if they found a way to pair Eric and Chloe. They should use Chloe as a person to whip Brady's pansy ass back into shape personality wise. |

Days slightly down, that's disappointing. I wonder how much the Monday pre-emptions affected the rest of the week. Friday had decent numbers for a Friday. |

I am not sure returning Ben or Clyde would draw big numbers or a wedding of 2 boring pairings. I think that Sami's return is really the ratings that TPTB will be focused on. Since she was in the promo this past week and again this coming week, let's see what her return does. Frankly, I think the show really needs an injection of different charcters. I don't know what they can do, but I would rather watch Belle & Shawn than Chad & Abby. I would rather see Jennifer with a storyline than Adrienne/Bonnie & I really need for Hope & Rafe to end. JJ & Lani are boring and so is Eli. It's time for a charcter shift & family shift for this show. The K & D's don't do anything for me, they are cheap versions of what they once were & the existing family members are to weak. I would welcome Vivian if she returned for good, if TC was Nickolas and if somehow Lawerence was alive, that would make for an instant bad family that is actually interesting, they could even bring on a daughter of Lawerence as well. |
