DAYS Hires 'Passionate' Lindsay Hartley!

I am not sure how I feel about this. Number one, I hate that Arianna was made Rafe's sister. I cannot stand the character or the actor. He ruins Days for me. He didn't need a boring useless relative.

OTOH, I love Eric Martsolf. He has been mostly wasted on the show so far. I did NOT see any chemistry with FT at all. I know Martsolf and Hartley had tons of heat on Passions. They were practically the only part worth watching about that silly show, yet the pair was kept apart until the show was cancelled. Stupid showrunners.

Days has always been a different kind of show but it was never, ever Passions-like. MarDevil nothwithstanding. I don't want DOOL to be that kind of show.

I do wonder how far behind the chimps, talk bubbles and the miraculous man being pregnant are. On the bright side, if they employ the talk bubbles, GG won't have to leave cheat notes around the set anymore.

I'm willing to give her a chance and see how she fairs on Days. It was a cruel thing to do to FT, though.

IMO, the main bright side is that it gives brianna more of a fighting chance against bricole, which is a road I don't want to go down anytime soon.

Whaaaaat!!!!

Lindsay is a talented actress but her character on Passions was always so over the top. I can't imagine her as Arianna. She seems more like a Sami to me.

I dunno how I really feel about this.

NBC doesn't own Days and therefore they can't cancel it.
Yes, they can. They can choose not to renew it. The show might find another network, but it would still be cancelled on NBC.

I like Felisha, but I don't think the character of Arianna is developed enough that it will matter. LH can come in and do whatever she wants or they can tailor the character to her strengths and I doubt anyone would even notice a change in character.

What they should have done was made LH,Tanna's child.Anna,could have been pregnant when Stefano,put Tony on that island,and he took her from Anna.It would have been a great story for Tanna,,and the Dimera's.SHe would have been perfect.But,alas,Tanna got the ax,for nontalented models..I just do not like the Arianna character,.or her boring ass brother

Good point. I'm already imagining the screaming, the crying, the high pitched voice. Sami's providing more of that than we need now (and this is coming from a big Sami defender). LH should have enough range to do something different well, though, as long as the writers don't try to make Ari Teresa 2.0. Brady hasn't really been Ethan, thank goodness.

Could you imagine Melanie and nuAri in a scene if they're both hyped up? It'll be like chipmunks on speed.

I am a Mel fan, but she needs calm characters to balance her out.

It defiently sucks for Felisha, her character was dull in the beginning and once she was going to get a love interest (bRady) they pull the rug from under her feet and give her the BOOT...

Luckily the chemistry will already be there between Lindsey and Eric...

She will defiently have a lot to live up to...

My prediction Days will follow in the foot steps of its "sister" by switching to direct tv and then being canceled.

It's exactly the same. Days is on NBC. NBC can cancel it. If and when they do, another network can pick it up, but that will only happen after it is cancelled. That's why there was all that talk about the show being saved from the brink of cancellation. It was being saved from the network. It says so specifically in all the articles about it. That's also why Passions was cancelled twice. NBC cancelled it once. DirectTV cancelled it once.

:roflol: :roflol: :roflol:

So Days is no Passions at all!! We have Luis - oh, sorry, Rafe, Theressa - oh, no, sorry, Arianna, and Ethan - oh, no, sorry, Brady.

So let's see.... they've already recruited lots of Passions fans by hiring Galen and Eric, and now they are aiming for the rest by hiring Lindsey to be paired with none other than Eric to recreate
the Ethan/Theressa couple. Oh no, I'm not angry at all!

I hated Passions, and they've destroyed Days. This show is nothing like it used to be. Its most beloved characters have been fired to bring in the Passions crew, and the rest of its characters have been stripped of their history and personalities. Oh no, I'm not angry at all! :hater:

Well Bricole definetly won't be happening if this is really true. OMG I can't believe they are bringing in Lindsay and are gonna throw her character back with Eric's character. That's exactly what I didn't want to see. I saw enough of ET to last me a life time I don't want part 2 in the form of Arianna and Brady. UGH! I love LIndsay so i'm glad she's on but I wanted to see her with Phillip or EJ or somebody anybody but Brady at least not for awhile.
