It also makes me wonder if we'll see anymore DiMera's, with four Kiriakis's on the canvas with this news(well five if you count Bo). However, at the same time, what DiMera's would be young enough(even though I know Justin isn't exactly young, he's not exactly old, either) to return with the age bracket Tomlin seems to like? One bad thing about that family is that aside from EJ, we have *NO* DiMera's in their 20's-30's aside from EJ.
Unless they make up more history, or rewrite it, all of the rest of Stefano's children are dead (Renee DuMonde, Megan Hathaway and Benjy Hawk). Technically Tony wasn't really Stefano's child, but with the back and forth rewrites, it seems that they made him a child of Stefano's. Andre was not a child, but he was a nephew. Peter and Kristen were adopted, although they are both alive (Peter in jail and Kristen on that weird island)

Indeed...there really aren't any of Stefano's kids to bring back unless they reverse their deaths(which wouldn't be new), and I couldn't see them bringing Thaao back as long as Tomlin is around because he was obviously pissed after his firing, so Tony and Andre are out of the question....Kristen is Eileen Davidson's role, and well Peter could come back but I'm not sure if they would bring him back or not.

(Then again, these currently forgotten characters are coming back so....LOL)

But out of all of his kids, I honestly think the only one I wouldn't mind is Kristen...maybe Megan if done right but I'd be fine without her. We need some next generation DiMera's...bring Alexis Thorpe back as Cassie and reverse the Roman/Kate thing or bring Heather Lindell back as Jan Spears and make her a DiMera to add some villianesses in their 20's-30's to the DiMera Dynasty and it would add more women in general.

Awesome news!!

Wally is so much fun to watch on tv.

I have been loving the show for months now.
Good summer viewing.

Now it looks like the fall will also be wonderful.

Another pointless return of a character that many fans have never even seen before. Not one character over 40 on the show right now has even a remotely decent storyline. And don't give me that Dimera-Kiriakis feud crap. The feud was pointless and had nothing at stake for either family. It was just an excuse to kill off Tony followed by a couple of months of kidnappings and an attempted murder and now it's over with nothing having been accomplished. So why would a useless character like Justin be given a good storyline?

Gary Tomlin is pathetic.

Awesome. I was afraid Victor would be backburned now when the K&D war is over but with Carly and Justin both coming back things are looking pretty good.

I can understand Justin coming he is a Kiriakis, but i don't understand Carly at all. She is such a pointless character! Didn't Justin/Adrienne bring Carly to Salem in the first place?

I don't have anything against Wally Kurth or Justin Kiriakis, but I'm very meh to this return as it just seems so random with there already being four Kiriakis males on the canvas in Victor, Bo, Phillip and Brady and frankly I have no sentimental attachment whatsoever to the character or actor. If it results in Judi Evans back on DAYS this sentiment will be upgraded to a looking forward to it, because I do love that woman.

Still, I think of about a half dozen actor returns that would get me way more excited than this like: Drake Hogestyn, Matthew Ashford, Stephen Nichols, Michael Sabatino, Blake Berris or even Jason Brooks.

Is the character Nick Stabile playing known to be connected to Carly for sure, or could it turn out he's related to Justin and possibly one of Justin's sons?

Soaps.com reported that he is a mysterious Horton. Whether they're right, who the heck knows.

I hate to say it, but it may be that they are planning to phase out John Aniston.
I don't think so. If they were planning on doing that they wouldn't have given him so much (and so good) material that he's gotten these past months. If they wanted him gone they would have done it quickly like they did John, Marlena, Tony, Steve and Kayla.

There have been times in the past when other writers/producers didn't want Victor. He was either sent to a nursing home or killed off (JER), or he was always on business trips never to be seen (Sheffer).

I'm with Phoenix, TPTB likes the Kiriakis family and they like Victor. Dena used him alot in 2003 aswell.

I love this (Love Justin and love Wally), but Corday's No-More-Returns-From-Fifteen-Years-Ago "promise" really didn't go very far. LOL!
I know, right? What a dumbass.

Anyway, this casting news is completely random, but I'm happy about it. Let's hope they put Kurth's talents to good use. Perhaps his return will have something to do with Carly.

I am not happy with this at all. I would prefer to have kept Steve OR Kayla then to bring back a veteran who has no real reason to be around (unless they are gonna highlight his Kiriakis heritage). The time to bring him back was when they had Adrienne on but I doubt they bring her back and I hated to see Steve/Kayla go (without any kind of fanfare whatsoever) so Stephanie has no one to support her. Very frustrating. And if he is shoe horned into Bo/Hope/Carly, then that means he and Adrienne will have broken off screen when she was just on last year while he was off screen.

And so my ditterness continues.
Um, no. When Adrianne came back the show was all about the DiMera/Brady vendetta and the Touch the Sky shit. Victor was no where to be seen, Philip was stuck in a trinagle with Belle and Shawn. It makes much more sense to bring him back now when the Kiriakis family is more fruntburner.

Didn't that come from one of BabyBrady/MrsMahaney's spoilers that was later retracted?

Oh well. Another thought I just had is I wonder if the show might consider bringing back Lisa Trusel or since she really hasn't acted since leaving the show then maybe recasting Melissa Horton since she's from that same late 80s-early 90s time period of Justin and Carly and since they have already introduced her son.

I'm not too surprised
Nothing really shocks or surprises you does it Tim? :laugh:


They could announce that Julia Roberts was joining the show as the new Melissa Horton and you'd prob say. "Not surprised since she's such a fan" LMAO

TIIC getting rid of Dee, Drake, Evans and Nichols due to budget issues is such a load of bullshit.

In retrospect, I'd much rather have Crystal Chappell and Wally Kurth so ... WIN!

I wonder if they dont bring in more DiMeras? Its only EJ leading the family (Lexie is off doing good.) I would love them to bring in Peter Blake (recast is fine.)

Unless, they'll bring in more Alamains (Larry, Nicky) to enter the DiMera v Kiriakis v Alamain? war.

These moves by Days have been great!

I would never accept a recast for Peter. Since Melissa Reeves has retired from acting there shouldn't be a problem with Jason Brooks coming back.

Well I have a foggy recollection of coming across some vague rumor about Missy's leaving somehow having to do with infidelity. Was the rumor she slept with Jason Brooks and quit DAYS to save her marriage?

Or was Jason Brooks some kind of RKK psycho and that's why she left?

Actually though, I have a vivid memory of when Missy Reeves first left DOOL and reading an article in TV Guide about it and it made it sound like she had been fired.

So yeah, I'm just more confused than ever. :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:
