The Princess and The Pawn Return!

That's right, folks. Look for Princess Gina and The Pawn to be back on Days of Our Lives in mid-March! For those of you who need a refresher course, a confused John was first introduced as The Pawn in the mid-80's (the first of the character's many, many iterations). As for Princess Gina, she was shot and killed in 2001. Later, Stefano convinced Hope that she was Princess Gina. In fact, Hope originally thought the much-talked about Zach could be John's, thanks to a night of passion their brainwashed selves had. (And let's not forget, it was the real Princess Gina who conspired with Stefano to switch the boy with another infant, JT.)

One thing is for sure -- if Gina and The Pawn are coming back, The Phoenix must have something to do with it!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Celeste Is Back.... Sort Of!

It's a case of good news and bad news! Lexie's had her hands full dealing with motherhood, her career and her husband's bid for re-election, and it's about time she gets some help. And it's on the way, in the form of her mom, Celeste! Unfortunately, Tanya Boyd will not be returning to the role. Why? "We were unable to move forward with Tanya due to schedule conflicts," a show rep explains.

Still, look for the psychic to shake things up in Salem soon. Could she help uncover more of Stefano's past? One thing is for sure: With this prophetic character around, no one's secrets are safe!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ian McCallister Arrives in Salem!

Soap veteran Ian Buchanan is poised to spice up Salem when he debuts as Ian McCallister on Thursday, February 9th. (Of course, in typical soap fashion, you might see parts of the character before that.)

"I come to town related mysteriously to Madison, and [the nature of the connection] is quickly revealed," Buchanan offers. And while he can't say just what that connection is, the fact that his character has been guiding Madison for weeks now -- even offering his opinion on whether she should accept the CEO position at Titan -- means that he's clearly someone who holds some power over the makeup maven.

But what else might the bucks-up business mogul have on his mind? "He's very successful and involved in a lot of things internationally. He kind of blows into town to check up on his investments."

However, his presence will also turn Kate's world upside down... and not necessarily in a bad way! It's a prospect Buchanan's excited about. "I love Lauren Koslow!" he grins. "I've been extremely fortunate with all of the woman that I've worked with."

Yep, the charmer's excited to be back in the soap biz and is already making himself at home.

"I'm very comfortable," he confesses. "I love the pace of the show, I love the writing, and I kind of feel as if I've known everybody for a long time."

And since we hear the actor has signed a two-year deal with the sudser, he'll have plenty more time to get to know the cast and crew!

Not to start a fanbase war, but there was also this.

Alison Sweeney on why Sami and EJ can't work as a couple: "Sami and EJ would always be at each other's throats, because they're both hot-heated, vengeful, strong-willed and quick to believe the worst."

No, just no to gina and the pawn. :shame: I hated that s/l.

Yes to Ian Buchanan. But I'm sure Days will mess it up somehow.

As for Sami and EJ - that's exactly why I think they work. No boredom there, but I'm sure the show will continue to go with the safe and easy routes.

And I knew that was a reason why I loved Ali!

True story--she wasn't!


But I have to wonder if Zack is now Chad...

I haven't been watching DAYS lately, but Madison was offered the job of Titan CEO? WTF?! She's only been working there a few months, and all her experience is in cosmetics. What does she know about running Titan's publishing empire? (Granted, lots of people in Salem have jobs for which they're certainly not qualified!)

DAYS missed a golden opportunity to bring on one of Sonny's brothers to be the new CEO of Titan. Heck, DAYS should've brought on all of Sonny's brothers so that they could each plan and scheme to get control of Titan. That would be an awesome, soapy storyline, as opposed to the shitty, boring junk that MarDar have been foisting on us since September.

Absolutely none of these things sound even remotely good. I am beyond disappointed in this show for so many reasons. These head writers need to go!

I think it would be terrific to have Justin and Adrienne's boys come back for a Titan storyline but the fact is MarDar have absolutely no interest in the Kiriakis Family. Justin and Adrienne are on about every 13 weeks, Victor has no backbone, they've taken Brady from the Kiriakis fold and now he's with his father and Jackson (Sonny) hasn't had any storyline since this "reboot". We're not even seeing Maggie very much any more.

THESE WRITERS NEED TO GO!!

Confession: I don't understand Princess Gina. Like...I literally don't understand how all that shit is supposed to work with Hope and a real Princess Gina or...whatever. All I know is I was not really a fan.

I have similar feelings about The Pawn. I don't like storylines that require complicated charts for there to be some kind of logic.

But- maybe it's only flashbacks.

The whole Zach is Chad thing- that's pure speculation, right? Because I like Chelsea and if Chad is Zach then Chelsea can't really come back and have it make sense, since she's kind of around Chad's age and she supposedly killed Zach while driving.
