Since Eileen Davidson is on her way back...

I hope the show brings back Peter Blake too! Trevor St John on the show would be the biggest win for DAYS! I really hope TPTB read this board! ;)
Why do you want to recast Peter? Did you guys hate Jason Brooks so much in the role or what? I mean Jason is the only one who played him so he's the reason I liked Peter. I don't like recasting a character just for the sake of recasting. Especially not with someone like Trevor St John who always looked so bored and was sleepwalking through his scenes.

Jason Brooks is Peter Blake, no one else in the role is acceptable.
No one ever said they hated Jason Brooks. Obviously, if anyone's a fan of Peter Blake, they would've had to have some kind of appreciation there. I've already posted my rationale a zillion times, but might as well explain myself again.

1. DAYS would never bring back Jason Brooks after what happened with Melissa Reeves.
2. I really liked the character of Peter, and I think it would be awesome to have him back on the show with Kristen returning.
3. I thought Jason Brooks was good as Peter, but he never wowed me to the point where I raved about him. I care more about the character of Peter being back than Jason Brooks being back.
4. Trevor St. John is an actor that has always wowed me - he is stellar.
5. The role of Peter Blake would suit him really well, and I think he'd bring a lot to DAYS.
6. I think Trevor St John would mesh really well with Peter's on-screen family (Joe Mascolo, Eileen, James Scott, etc.)

I don't understand why you see recasting Peter as such a travesty - most of DAYS' characters have been recasted anyway. And as someone who really enjoyed Peter Blake, I'm not really satisfied with the show choosing not to bring him back because "it would be awkward to have Jason Brooks on the show". Screw that, it's a perfect opportunity to get a big name to DAYS! I just don't want to be deprived of this awesome character because Melissa Reeves couldn't keep her legs shut. I've always wanted Trevor St. John on DAYS, and I think bringing him as Peter is the perfect opportunity to make that happen - he'd be offered an amazing and complex character, he'd be guaranteed ties him to major players, and he'd be playing a dark character, roles he tends to love and portray well. Not to mention, TSJ is huge, and I'm sure plenty of OLTL fans would go to DAYS if they hired him. He was extremely popular there, and for good reason!

You don't have to agree with the casting choice, but plenty do, and I think there are enough good reasons to justify that. I can understand your position if you are a huge Jason Brooks fan, but as I said, I was always more a fan of the character than the actor. I obviously thought JB did a good job, I loved Peter after all... but he was just never one of those actors who stayed with me because of "out of this world" performances. I don't need him to enjoy Peter - I think other actors could bring the character to life as efficiently (if not more). And TSJ is who I think would be the man for that!

So all in all, I want Trevor St. John as Peter Blake...lol sue me. :P

I've never watched OLTL so I'm unfamiliar with TSJ, but I'm with you - I liked the character of Peter. I enjoyed watching him. And I wouldn't mind at all if they brought in a big name to play the part. They can hold off for a little while, but I think Kristen should make sure that Peter gets out of jail and joins her. :)

Unfortunately Trevor St. John just gave an interview to Nelson Branco last week stating that he won't be coming to GH and said that soaps have hindered his primetime and film career. So unless he totally flops in his current endeavors I don't think he would be willing to come to DAYS or any other soap. I know he had a stint on The Client List with Jennifer Love Hewitt that he is hoping becomes a recurring role.

I am in love with the idea, but it used to seem farfetched and now it just seems impossible.

Just happened to be checking the Twitter trends on my phone and saw that Melissa Reeves just followed Greg Vaughan. I don't think that's a coincidence. I wonder if he's already started filming before these two dark weeks.

Your post provoked a random memory... Right before MR came back to the show -- so in the summer of 2010 -- GV tweeted that he and his wife (girlfriend?) had gone out to dinner with the Reeves and the casting director for Days. I thought then that it wouldn't be too much longer before it was announced MR would return to the show.

So she follows him on twitter and he probably hasn't even started yet...and yet it took her how long to follow Matt? Wasn't it AFTER he left the show? :thumbsdown:

Oh, well I thought it had something to do with DAYS. It could just be because Steve and Melissa Reeves and Greg Vaughan are friends and his name has been flying around today. I didn't realize the Reeves were friends with Vaughan.

I guess I should just keep my mouth shut. MA totally defends her in his interview with DR, so I guess I'll just lay off. :mellow:

:shrug: You're still entitled to your opinion. MA can blame meanie fans for causing tension between him and MR, but that's MR's choice.

There are several reasons I wouldn't want Peter back, but one of them is that I think he'd likely be another EJ, and there's too darn much EJ already.

Now don't come whoopin' my ass at the grocery store cause I picked on your fav on here!

"I guess I should just keep my mouth shut. MA totally defends her in his interview with DR, so I guess I'll just lay off. "

Quoting you to say the same. I'd blast that biotch into next week, but since MA had the class and decency not to do it, I won't either.

I'm still pissed. Whether blaming her caused the working relationships between actors to be affected or not, I don't care what he says, she's being a snot. He is the one to show class, there is no backlash on MA. Can't say the same for MR. She ignored him, personally and professionally, as it appears to us. And pimped Dannifer. And it fucking stinks to high hell and I don't fukn like it ONE DAMN BIT. ESPECIALLY after he defended her so sweetly.

Trying....trying.............ok. I'll stop now.

Whew!

I would take Peter over EJ any day of the week....they should get rid of EJ, his character is a total failure as it is. The inconsistencies in the writing for him have hurt his chances at being a villain and that is the only way IMHO he works. A recast Peter would do good for the show IMHO, now that Kristen is returning....Trevor could make the role his own considering that it's been well over a decade that Peter was last seen in Salem. It would be great if Kristen summoned him and he would return to help her claim a piece of the Dimera pie. He'd be an adversary for Ej immediately, he and Kristen vs EJ and John would really be an interesting twist....

Total failure? Ridiculous, like him or not, he's the lead actor of this show pulling in the plot the media cares most about right now (EJ and Will). He's got 2 main relationships with large fan bases. He plays a polarizing character with no boundries that gets people to love or hate him. There's a reason why they did all they could to get him to not leave.

Failure is the return of Billie or Lucas, Austin. When they gave them nothing to integrate them into the cast or weave them stories.
