The kids that play Johnny and Sydney (and Allie, Ciara, Theo) really aren't related to any of these actors in real life.

Their genetic make up - including their height, hair color, eye color, etc. stem from their real life parents.

Just throwing that out there...
At the very least they could pick kids who have the most "genetic composition" to match their said on-screen parents on the show, I don't think it's that hard to manage , to stop people like myself from making assumptions.

If I'm not mistaken didn't KM have darker hair months leading to the reset and then when Jack showed up back in town her hair colour turned a lighter shade, almost making her blonde like her mother. Mind you Jen Jen is rocking that hideous platinum blonde (or is my screen lying to me?)

Kids can be made to look like their parents but I am not talking cosmetics, cast the right kids and voila!
I think it is a big challenge when they are casting such young children. I would guess when the twins that play Johnny were cast no one had any idea they'd be as tiny as they are 3 years later. But given how talented they are I'm assuming they've decided to just stick with them rather than recast in order to have them appear to be older...or taller...or what have you. Same thing with the twins that play Sydney and Allie. They've struggled at times to find kids that click on camera in those roles - in fact, I don't think they really have hit the mark with Sydney since the Sinemma twins were about 9 months old or so. They were adorable for a very long time but as they got older it was pretty clear they weren't enjoying themselves any longer - so they were gone.

I think it is what it is when it comes to casting the kids and aside from some very basic considerations like ethnicity and maybe hair color they really don't worry all that much about how they resemble the actors that play their parents. The one exception I would make to that is Lauren Boles (Ciara). They hit pay dirt with her - she truly looks like she could be Bope's daughter.

Maybe I'm just in a good mood, but this doesn't sound bad to me at all.

I don't want them to make Sydney Nicole's and it has nothing to do with Ejole, Sydole, Ejami, or anything like that. If they continue to write Sydney this way, I think that's ten times better than Sydney actually being Nicole's. I like the idea of her being Sami's but having a clear preference for Nicole. I think that's way more interesting and dramatic than a happy little family. Plus it's a kick in Sami's face, and I just can't hate on that.

I did not know that. :sarcasm:
Yeah, but the casting directors made some interesting choices. And it they are sticking with the Kunitz twins, who are obviously small for their age, it makes it more plausible that Johnny could be Lucas' son. Certainly new Syd has the height to play Nicole's daughter. They made Chad a Dimera because the actor looked a lot like JS.

Anything is possible.

Some what I do agree that it would be sweet to have Sami's daughter prefer Nicole over her, however SYDOLE makes my heart skip in all the right places. Sydole is that much sweeter than anything else to me.

YES! SYDOLE! I love them! I can't wait for this show. I love how pathetic the beast looks stomping on DiMansion saying that she'll huff and puff and quit "being generous" with visitation rights. SHE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT about Syd!

And NO...I dont want that beast to be Syd's mother...EVER....EVER...EVER.

Christie Clark looks a little like Joan Collins with that hairnet. I think that looks better than a lot of the stuff they usually give her to wear.

I wish Nicole didn't have to wear Flashdance look.

Yeah, I think the casting agents (at least when the children are small like this and it doesn't quite matter as much) do go out of their way to cast kids that resemble their onscreen parents.

I remember when they picked the original baby Parker - they deliberately chose little twin girls who had the same dimples as JKJ.

How I sooooooo miss JKJ's dimples, thanks for that.

I agree about casting though. It's not difficult to find the right kids, it's not like they are on screen all the time that they need to be thespians who need to carry the story on their onwn. They just need to say a few lines convincingly at the most.

Samantha is a klass act, all right. That, and Salem's best mother all in one.

nic laughs when she sees rafe and says did sami let you get yourself dressed this morning


It would have been funnier if Nicole's line had been, "Did Sami dress you this morning?" I usually see nothing to even notice, let alone laugh at, about Rafe's wardrobe. Sami's, on the other hand . . . .

Aww, I feel bad for Austin. Though:

Austin says you use to be a detective, go find it yourself


I know you are but what am I?

I don't like what they are doing to Austin, not one bit.

Why didn't EJ say something like Sydney wanted to take the day off from an attempted murderess, when Sami flung that kidnappers comment in EJ's face, WHY?

In regard to the previous comments about the casting of young children, I don't think these really young ones are actors particularly. When they get up to an age where they need to do more than be carried around or try to remember more than one or two lines or actions, they'll get recast if they can't do the work.

I had to laugh when on Friday's show Nicole finally grabbed Syd's arm to make contact with the high five on the third try. That was cure on Ari's part. Most of the time the child playing Syd doesn't seem to know what's going on and is very serious or overwhelmed looking.

However, in regard to Kate Mansi, I can't look at her and not think pod child. She's a brunette with beautiful big brown eyes. Her parents have brilliant blue eyes. It's been many a year, but I thought that when I took biology that I learned that blue eyes is a recessibe gene and that two blue eyed parents can't have a brown eyed child. There certainly should have been a capable actress in LA that had blue eyes to appear like a more logical offspring of J/J. Casting could have done a better job on this casting in regard to family resemblence.

I haven't seen Monday's show yet. It'll be interesting to see Syd actually speak and do something instead of looking like a frozen prop.

I must say....the constant pissing off of Sami was rather amusing today...she didn't really even know who to look at. Rafe..pissing her off..Carrie, Marlena...also pissing her off..John..Will (really enjoyed his smirky jabs at Sami today was so funny)......pissing Sami off and of course Nicole and Ej..PISSING HER OFF!!!Felt like a little needle poke in the ass and she would explode. Even Sydney wouldn't leave Ej and go with Sami today..She didn't even smile at her Birthday party until Ej Got there.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

I have to say that I enjoyed the epi today. It was well written and the scenes had a good flow.

J&M scenes for diehard fans, nice to see that the old folks still got it and that TPTB still get them.

CAFE'S dancing spoiler was interesting, not what I expected. When Sami arrives at the pub and sees them from the window, she opens the door to confront them, Austin shows up out the blue and is first to call them on it. The scene was well written and directed. This is Austin's best epi since his return. Avoidance, Denial, Insinuation, all there.
Austin's talk with John is open and honest and so is Carrie's with Marlena. Austin is not a dumb as I thought, he sees more to what's going on than anyone else there cares to admit. Loved his snark to Rafe, when Rafe asks him for help to find a punch ladle. Austin and Rafe, won't be hanging out together, anytime soon. Carrie the complainer-- she's gonna get what she deserves, excuses to stay away from your husband, won't get my sympathy. Carrie and Jen should hook up for coffee and compare notes on how to be a bitch to your man.

Enjoyed listening to the talks John has with Austin and Marlena with Carrie. TPTB adding layers to the SL. I will take what I can get. J&M as sounding boards and mentors really fit their characters. Tell me, has John alwasys been a softee or is it just since his return? He is so in touch with his emotional side these days.

William was top of game today. It is fun to watch his evil side in action, so good at scheming....that it even makes EJ raise an eyebrow. Initially hesitant to comply to EJ demands, will revels in pushing Sami's buttons. Sami was herself today, over the top, -- not going to say anymore. However I did like the snark exchange between Rafe and her, in 20 years. Rafe is now officially dumber than Austin, in my books.

EJ using a lot of facial expression these days, enjoyed seeing him as 'daddy' today. Sydney is so cute.
Nicole surprising kept her mouth shut today. She is definitely taking it all in and trying to figure out what the hell is going on . Sydole*** loved it!

Oh yeah! I forgot about bad ass Abe. So funny to see him on the dark side. Jen-Jen and him are going to have to go to church real soon to atone for their sins. Jennifer is mute today, just looking on, TPTB are keeping her out of the direct line of fire. Makes me laugh.
