....I was thinking they need to give him a mystery that is not centered around his love life. Like something to do with his mom, to give him some much needed depth.
That is a really outstanding idea......though definitely not a *back from the dead* or *woman in white* mystery. Maybe something involving his grandmother Loretta Toscano, or even some type of drama/mystery involving the nascent Toscano Foundation.

I like this idea too, but I would add that somehow it should also include Victor and Julie,
not necessarily as having a thing for one another, BUT Vivian always had her hooks on Victor,
so did Kate...maybe somehow Julie or Maggie had a hand in what went on between Laura, Kate, &
Bill that caused Jen so much Angst, with Jack unwittingly adding to it by bring Isabella into all their lives.

This show can never seem to get DiMeras right. I say bring on the Westons.

YR are pretty much using ED They need to bring Megan back alive Anna and Tony need to be the head of DiMera's Just recast Peter But for God sake no EJ and Stefano nor Kristen recast..
I'd be open to that. But I still think there needs to be a different villainous family around. And I really enjoy the Westons (except Jordan ugh)

At this point, even if we can't get JKJ back, I'd take JPL. Philip is a character sorely needed in the Kiriakis clan. Especilly w/ Victor and Kate still being around and Vivian returning.

There was also a lost opportunity to reinvigorate the DiMeras upon Joe Mascolo's death. Stefano should have died (either of natural causes or have gone out with a bang), and that would have paved the way for a good old fashioned will reading, full of surprises, stipulations, etc. Heck, they already did several of those before when Stefano was "killed'! The last one was the best, where everyone in attendance were given gifts that ultimately propelled stories or started new mysteries. Granted, most of those stories never came to fruition. Marlena's Sleeping Beauty pillow. Celeste's paper dolls. Hope's scarf fashioned like a noose. Shawn Sr's wooden toy boat with the toy baby inside. Roman's Roman gladiator statue. They need something like that now, but with a bigger ante: DiMera Enterprises. Kristen, Peter, Tony, Anna, Andre, Chad, "Stefan," and any other known/unknown children/family could be involved. Days missed the boat here with the way the Stefano storyline concluded.

If anyone is hoping for a good business story fromRC with regard to DE don’t hold your breath. I likely see something similar to the “Pickle Eddy/Pickle Lila” sham that GH had, and how many times they said “the chew” for promotional efforts. Thank god we don’t have to deal with cross promotion.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks RC needs to revamp the DiMera family or bring a new family of villains.

Right now the show is full goodies and pseudo-goodies. Where is the angst and drama?

Chad should move out of the mansion and take back his other surname. He is NOT a DiMera. Abby is so bland and saccharine my teeth ache. Tandre is just a mess. No DiMera co-horts around. No one to take Stefano's place. No one to take EJ's place. This family is a mess.

Kiriakis? Same deal. Victor has been de-fanged by the Naggie alliance. Brady is vengeful and a jerk but he is not villainous. Sonny is a joke as far as trying to head the family. He can't even make up his mind about Paul. Justin(with his dimples) could never be bad.

Eve will be a breath of fresh air. I hope she causes havoc. Salem needs it.

Don't know what TC is destined to do but hope his character is rotten and scheming with a bit of a heart.

Gabi needs to be bad or get gone. As she is, she is useless. Would love BB to return. I love his acting and goofball or villain, he is great.
At this point it's probably better for them to introduce a new villain family. I think it's best for the overall future of the show if it's going to be on for more than a year, which I hope it will be. I also think it opens up the possibility of having new characters that aren't tied to the canvas and aren't related to anyone on canvas because it gives them the opportunity to date characters too without having the biology aspect tied to it.

The Dimeras are a mess.... I would write them all out....have TC's character take on the Dimera 'empire' financially like the story is seemingly playing out to be...then that lends an opportunity to get rid of the Andre/Chad...have him redo the Mansion into something different, bring his daughter, sister, and other females associated with him to the canvas (females are in desperate need on Days) and start to push the family as the next big threat to Salem. They can play it off at first as a blessing to the town, as he got rid of The "Evil" Dimeras and then reveal to the audience that he has ulterior motives and they are by no means good.
If they bring on a new villain family, it needs to be a new one with NO ties to the DiMeras. If they would take over the DiMera Mansion and company that would be like TPTB skywriting "They're the replacements" and some fans would just hold that against them.

Personally, I don't think the show needs a new villain family even if they get rid of the DiMeras. New villains? Yes. A family of them? Not necessary.

I would guess this is where Vivian comes into play. :shrug:

I'm looking forward to the Will and the JJ stuff the most. Not unhappy about Chloe and Lucas either. Jennifer and Eric are cute but I hope they don't go either/or with her job and romance, I love obnoxious reporter Jennifer and I am dying to see her have an actual investigative storyline. Hoping for the best with Steve, Kayla and Tripp, but not convinced Ron gets S&K and I don't think I'm ready to care about Tripp in a romance yet (plus I wish he was in JJ's age group). I'm over Sami, but she does need to be here for this story. I give up on Chabby and Gabi/Eli are dull, too bad Sheila is leaving. I don't mind Eve being back but the last place I want to be is the K mansion (unless I get to roll my eyes with Justin). Claire and Theo are boring but they're also the most inconsequential, so.

I hope Eve gets some scenes with JJ and Jennifer. I wish Andre could just be Tony, somehow. While I don't require the Dimeras, I wouldn't mind a rebuild (though not as permanent just-another-Salem-family fixtures) as long as EJ stays gone.

I'm guessing Rope are in the background with the JJ drama. If not for the terrible way they got together I would actually not mind them right now.

I know Ron hasn't been here that long but what I'm wanting the most right now is a well developed arc from front to end. I'm ready to keep loving the vets and I'm ready to start loving the younger characters, but I want to do more than just see the potential in this or that. I just want to go for a good ride. That said he's improved the show some, I don't feel abjectly miserable about it any more.

Yeah, I think it's disrespectful how they have Brady as Victor's son and grandson and they never have victor who should be all about family mention philip. Plus I don't understand why Dena had to dismiss jpl if jkj isn't coming back. The crusher of my phloe / philip dreams.

None of it sounds all that exciting to me though. I hope it all plays out better on-screen. Sounds like more of the same and we need some major shifts IMO. The Will and JJ/Theo story have the best potential to shake things up.

You have a lot of characters simply existing but they aren't really in true storylines. It's a shame.
