Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I wouldn't be so quick to say that. We just heard that Nadia isn't coming back, which means they'd probably been negotiating for a while. In fact, we've been hearing almost since she left that there was a possibility of her returning. As for Bren, I agree it doesn't sound like yesterday was his last day or anything, but that doesn't mean he's been gone for 2 months either. I think he really could have been planned for a Nadia story... right now we have no reason to think that's not the case.
It makes no sense to pair Chloe with Quinn. He was her pimp for pete's sake. Plus they had him lusting after Melanie.
I didn't say romantically... I just meant in a story together. If they were structuring a story around Nadia (highly plausible), maybe they wanted him in it. It's just a theory, but my point is that the timing would line up. I think the idea of him as "JS insurance" is also a good theory, or it could be the EP change. Not to mention that it's not like the show has never done a pairing between a former pimp and one of his prostitutes. Nick/Eve anyone?

To be perfectly honest...to bring back Quinn to begin with was a huge head scratcher for me. Seen as how the only purpose he served the first time around was to screw and hack at the character of Chloe. He then came back and opened this ridiculous spa....flirted a little and apologized a little...not sure where they were actually going with it...and of all of the axed characters at the time I was surprised they chose to bring him back versus Nadia

I thought Foster was a decent actor, but the character just never caught on. It all started when he turned out to be Vivian's son. That was the first mistake and it really ruined the character and any future potential for me. And then when he was brought back, it was like we were just supposed to get that little detail. Him being Vivian's son was rarely ever mentioned. I did like the role he had on the show, sort of as that supporting character that was very popular in the 70s/80s that is long forgotten. I'm not sad to see him go though. The canvas is getting pretty full and he's definitely someone I would place in the "dead weight bucket."

I am sad to see him go. His s/l was pathetic and I do believe he was being kept for a new s/l with Nadia and now he is easily scrapped. Once we get more of Kate's kids back we will be overflowing with useless again!
I hate that the show is throwing all these characters at us - are they waiting to see what shit sitcks?

I guess I watched a different show. I thought Quinn originally was a decent addition and while the Chloe hooker story was awful, I thought he and CC had great chemistry and that there was finally a chance at a fresh dynamic with Carly and Vivian with Quinn. How the character can be considered a dud after barely any story I have no clue. But I agree it never made a bit of sense to bring him back. His connection and relevance to the canvas disapeered when Vivian and Carly left.

They are taping episodes for the second week of May this week, so Quinn should be gone by April at the latest.

You know, it's funny because Eve was BARELY out of her teens & Nick was a LOT older than her and they had quite a bit of a following & I'm not sure a whole lot was made about the age difference. Today, oddly, you get more than 10 years between characters' ages & people want to start chasing people through the streets with torches.

I hope Quinn gets murdered and they think its an isolated attack so it isn't much of a big deal to anyone but the people that work at the spa and interact with him. No funeral or anything would be necessary. Then a week or so later someone else gets murdered and we have a serial killer on our hands. Or at least a repeat offender.
Either that or I hope Ian is doing some shady business and when the cops close in on him he frames Quinn (who will NOT be his son, just a random victim) and Quinn gets taken to jail.

The whole age difference thing, I always feel, is no big deal, especially nowadays. I don't even really care if it gets mentioned although it would be nice if it was. As long as the characters are written true to character and the story is good, it doesn't bug me at all.

I won't be sad to see Quinn go. He was unnecessary from his first introduction and I could never understand why they would let him go, and then rehire him. He's a pointless, useless character.
It makes me wonder if he was let go because they had planned to bring Chloe back for him to give him a story, and with Nadia saying no, they really had no use for him. If so, I'm glad. I don't want Quinn and Chloe ever revisited.
Assuming he hasn't been gone for very long (clearly from his tweet, it seems he is gone), I think that is the case. Recently, you even had that scene between Brady and Quinn that talked about Chloe after his involvement with her had pretty much been ignored since his return. That seemed like a story anvil. I think they were going to be involved together and that is why the show brought him back. They wanted to redeem him first in case they wanted to pair them romantically. It was clear during his redemption they were chemistry testing him too. They had him in random scenes with Melanie, Gabi, Abigail (he was even with Kate Mansi during the Day of Days doing interviews), and also threw him at others like Nicole, Madison, and Kate. I actually think MarDar probably fought to keep him because they talked about him quite a bit in their early previews. I think what happened was they always felt they would bring Nadia back as Chloe (hence all the talk of her possible return since she left) and they came up with a story involving Quinn so they decided to rest his character for a month, bring him back and slowly redeem him and ease him back into the canvas while also seeing if they could strike gold with his chemistry with other female characters. I'm guessing maybe we may see some Quinn/Billie scenes in March as possibly one more bit of chemistry testing and maybe that combined with the fact their planned story involving Chloe now has to be shelved because talks with Nadia broke down was the final straw. The show clearly needs to clear space and his character became even more expendable once Nadia said no and given he hadn't caught on with anyone else. Now, given his lack of airtime with Days, I think he was probably already working on a number of projects so that made it easier for when he was let go. They were probably ok with it too knowing full well they wouldn't use him heavily until Nadia returned unless he caught on with someone else. That is why I don't think him already being so busy means he's been gone for awhile. If he had been gone for awhile, I think the news may have leaked out before now. I'm thinking it's been a week or two at most since he was let go. Clearly, based on spoilers for next week, his story was about to pick up so I'm guessing this may be the setup for whatever story he was going to be involved in with Chloe, assuming that was the case. We'll see if anything is noticeable. Who knows. They may do what they've done with the Jack/Jennifer/Daniel story and toss a bunch of scenes in the trash can now because he's leaving and Chloe isn't coming. Clearly, they had to write in an exit and change gears. It will be interesting to see what kind of exit he gets. Is this the start of the rumored murder mystery? Or, will he just go off to be with his mother? Also, what happens to the spa? I like the set but I would just assumed have the hospital set back or make it into something else. I liked Bren alot. It's a shame he was wasted. He did work much better as a shady character. They really should've went with the spa being a cover for some sort of scheme. I wonder if Days insisted to Nadia that the idea was to put her character in story with Quinn, but she thought it was a bad idea and declined the offer.

I thought Bren was a decent actor but the character of Quinn sucked thanks to the haphazard writing by MarDar. I'm not saddened over this news in the least and wish Bren the best of luck in other projects.

They should have Quinn murdered, and bring Vivian back for some good old Alamain justice. I miss her dearly :(

I thought BF was a decent actor as well. I actually enjoyed him when he was playing Chloe's pimp, although I hated the storyline and how it destroyed Chloe's character. If DAYS was intent on bringing Quinn back to the show, then they should have brought him back as the disgusting sleazeball that he was when he left the first time. Coming back to town with a so-called "new leaf on life" and opening up a spa to empower the lives of women was not only stupid, but completely unbelievable.

I wonder if Days insisted to Nadia that the idea was to put her character in story with Quinn, but she thought it was a bad idea and declined the offer. I don't know. I think Bjorlin enjoyed working with Foster based on interviews and such. Yes, the storyline with Quinn was a lowpoint in her career, but Quinn was no longer in that profession, so it wouldn't be like she was coming back to become a hooker again. I have a hard time believing that was the reason she didn't come back.

I never understood the purpose of bringing back Quinn. And all the characters were acting like they had amnesia and didn't realize that they were hanging out at a spa owned by a former pimp!
I'd like to see DAYS chuck the damn spa set altogether. I would burst out laughing every time there were scenes of characters having their martial arts classes in the frickin' lobby.
I say bulldoze the spa set and turn it into Jack's apartment.

It's about time. Quinn should have never been brought back. It was a poor reintroduction of the character and much too soon to bring him back.

He was a waste. The lobby for all services is absurd. Perhaps MarDar could actually hear the loud, derisive laughter at that "Shampoo" analogy.

He looks good without a shirt, but otherwise I saw little point bringing Quinn back to DAYS - good luck to Bren Foster in his future acting endeavours. If only the new regime would cut more of the deadweight - Daniel and Melanie would be top of my list.
