i agree i dont mind not knowing the details of her return im just happy that shes back on the show the rest can wait. :D
I disagree. Days needs to start doing some serious p.r. Many viewers currently watching Days don't know or care about Kristen, and if bringing back vet after vet after vet didn't work a year ago, no actor's return alone can turn the tide. It's been far too quiet, far too long. :tumbleweed:
The show should concentrate on writing Kristen well and giving her a good storyline when she does appear on screen. Doing a lot of PR is great and does help generate interest, but the problem with soaps lately is that they'll promo the heck out of a character's return (like with Brenda on GH) and then when that character finally shows up, the writing is a total letdown and the return flops.
Shouldn't they be able to walk and chew gum at the same time? It's not like the writers should be handling p.r. duties. I just don't see what one has to do with the other. :ermmmm:
They should. What I meant is that shows recently seem to pour all of their resources into promoting returns but they don't pay any attention to what is being written for that return. I didn't know anything about Brenda but after seeing the commercials and all, I was kind of excited because they made it seem like she was this fabulous character that would add some spark and spice to the show.

When she did show up, I found that I couldn't stand her and it was in large part due to the storyline being awful and dull. If they had concentrated as much on the writing as they had on the pretty commercials, things might have turned out better. I'm not saying Days would do the same thing in regard to Kristen. I think they're probably burning the midnight oil to make sure this goes well because a lot is riding on this return. I actually looking forward to seeing her on screen again because she was a good character. I guess I'm saying all PR flash (not that I think you suggested that at all in your post) and no substance doesn't seem to work well.

lol I think Rafe could have been fixed if they didn't make him act like a smug jerk who is supposed to be a "GOOD GUY" and a cop. He's more of an asshole than nearly every supposed "bad guy" on the show and it kills the character for me. Not to mention I have never enjoyed any of his pairings (Although Cafe kisses were HOT) and he can't act a lick. He's never been a good actor, but he could have worked. Its over now, there isn't really anything they could do to make me enjoy the character.

I would normally agree...but TomSell in their genius has brought me my ED and Kristen.....they could bring Alice back from the dead recasted and I still would feel like I somehow "owe" them.

Unless Eileen Davidson, Ken Corday, and Sony all release statements saying Tomlin had anything to do with her return than I will never believe that. NBC even though I don't like them I can believe. Greg Meng, I could believe. Gary Tomlin? Nah.

If the stories that we heard about how Sony basically dicked Eileen Davidson out at Y&R and sent her to DAYS are true, then it was someone with real power that made this happen. Not someone like Gary Tomlin.

We have heard very little from the studio this week, but what we have heard is wonderful. We heard that KD is there! We heard that KA is happy. BD is very happy :cheers: And now Galen tells us he's please and he says lots of the others are too! :cheer:

I think this does bode well for the future of the show. I haven't heard too many of them bragging about the junk we are seeing now! The only saving grace this week has been Bryan/Lucas scenes! (well IMO :blowkiss: )

haha well I do agree with your edits, but I think I could have even handled Galen's shitty acting if Rafe was some kind of supporting character and not someone who swallowed the show whole and never let go.

Well I think he did have something to do with it...both Corday/Meng and NBC were around when Davidson was available for those 6 months back when she was first fired from Y&R and they did NOTHING....

TomSell is the only difference between then and now and look BAM...fired from Y&R..back at DAYS.

They should show old Kristen clips in between commercials like they did with the other returnees for last year's reset. That was nice!

After things that Galen said in Atlanta (in April) I know he isn't happy with the way his character has been written over the past few months. (longing for Carrie while married etc etc) and I know he was hoping to get Rafe back to where he was before. I miss the hero Rafe who shows up in the nick to time to save them all!! That makes me happy. And of course Bryan making the Lumi Magic with what he's filming this week is a pleasant surprise to hear about too. I am just hopeful for a better show. I am not use to turning off parts of the show--FFing through it or just skipping it all together. This has truly been the worse summer in Days history--even worse than the Summer of Suck 2010. Lucas' return is the only thing I have been happy with this Summer!

Let's see if you feel the same when Kristin starts sexing up Dan and become's EJ neutered shoulder like Lexie did. She'll have one scene with Marlan and it will be a group scene. Instead she will be busy wondering what it takes to keep a great guy like Dan? Can she live up to it?

Sounds crazy? Sounds like Days writing.
