I didn't mention AS or JS. MA's got ten years on GG and PR has about 15, but GG's sure not young. SC is my biggest gripe when it comes to this though. Why keep an older character who doesn't have strong ties (and sucks) while getting rid of the vets in a similar age range? Edited by AHM, Jul 28 2012, 05:05 PM.

I think the show tried to pass the torch, but they don't have compelling characters to fill the void. I think they've wasted the potential of so many characters by forcing them into insta-romances or bad triangles, so that the only thing that seems important about them is who they are sleeping with (or want to sleep with). There are such obvious storylines for characters like Chad and Sonny that would focus on their coming to terms with what being a DiMera or Kiriakis means (including their facing the less-than-savory side of Stefano's and Victor's actions). Maybe one of the younger cast members could actually get a job and plan on a profession, rather than them constantly getting these two-month, plot-driven stints as models or "CEOs" of businesses for which they are wholly unqualified. Plus TPTB seem insistent on casting actors based mostly on their looks, so we get complete personality vacuums with characters they insist on pushing to the forefront (Chad and Gabi, I'm looking at you), and are shocked when one of the young actors actually has talent like Kate Mansi or Chandler Massey. |

I'm a little jaded about young DiMera/Kiriakis characters, because the potential was there with the Philip and EJ characters, and they really didn't do much that was interesting with it. Days' moral compass is so effed up, the potential for drama from that has softened. If I were writing, I'd grab on to Nick's post-prison story and milk it for all it's worth, because it's more of a personally defined struggle. Similarly with Stephanie, her "misdeeds" and downfall were personal and to see her try to rebuild from that might be interesting. Might be fun to have a young tycoon type who built his own fortune, and going head to head with EJ or Philip who are encumbered with all of their family baggage. |

I agree, it was a classy interview. I've stopped recording the show. Will only watch Bope scenes on YouTube until he leaves. TPTB are too dumb and arrogant to realize what they've done by letting Peter go. So glad I don't have to FF through the EJ/Sami show. Don't even recognize Days anymore. Such a shame. I wish Peter well and only the best for Kristian. |
