Meh. Who cares? He is good looking guy, but I don't care about Cameron. He is so dull. |

Awesome. I am glad he is a recast and not someone new. I Agree though. It wasn't necessarily the actor that didn't make Cameron jive. |

Well, if Cameron couldn't work out under the old actor, that should be telling Days something. If it doesn't work, get rid of it. All of their recasts fail in the last few years. Why keep pushing something that falls flat. Cameron and Abby just suck because Cameron was a character created from badly rewritten history. It's hard to care about a character that didn't exist until some writer had a brain fart. |

Maybe they need to have another doctor on canvas because Dan is leaving. Please, please, please. |

with camron being recast it only prove they have no plans to show flashbacks of J&J last scenes since most of them were near camron |

I'll be cynical and argue that they recast this character with someone who has lesser acting ability but looks better with his shirt off LOL |

This guy is very hot in an underwear model kind of way. I can definitely see why other people start panting, but I'm ambivalent. Cameron did not need to be re-cast in my opinion. Both the character and the actor were growing on me until he was made to do a complete 180 and dump Abigail right after her father's death. Maybe they're planning to re-shape him as a stud who's also kind of a jerk and that's why they thought this guy was more appropriate. (Like we need another sex hungry male doctor on this show. I'm pretty sure Daniel has cornered the market.) I guess we'll see...I don't want to judge a book by its cover so I'll give him a chance. I can see why Tomsell are bringing in someone who is transparently meant to be eye candy - they need to rope in viewers and they're hoping this will help them do that. Maybe while they're at it they should, oh I don't know, do some soul-searching about their storytelling? Bringing in eye candy with the hope that it will make up for the current direction (or lack thereof) is a bit like putting a Band Aid on a broken arm...

No more chin! Sweet!!! Hey, whatever works. I'd love if we could get a fully recovered Tanya Boyd back as Celeste. |

I'm not opposed to a recast...after all, Matt Ashford was a recast and look what he did with what was a very boring character before that. I just hope the guy can act. He's nice to look at and yes, the writing was probably a big problem to begin with. But charisma goes a long way as well. SY was just boring to me. He wasn't a terrible actor, but there just wasn't anything there. If this guy can act, and has charisma...and hopefully chemistry with Abby or whoever, then fine. Bring it! |

That's what I don't get. I guess every writer wants to create their own character out of whole cloth, but it really doesn't make any sense not to use characters who have years of history behind them while still being blank slates. I still think it's a waste that Madison wasn't Sarah. Maybe she'd still be here now if she had been. |

Very nice! I hope Abigail gets over her hangups real soon because this one is someone she should really want to "take a ride with" so to speak. :whooohooo: He does look kinda baby-faced, but if I were TPTB, I'd simply require the actor to grow some facial hair. A nicely shaped goatee would make him look hotter and a slight bit older as well. Edited by cyndabell, Oct 2 2012, 01:19 PM.

The funny thing is that the road is wide open for an Abby/Chad redux (Melanie is gone and Cameron has left Abby as well), but obviously a reunion between them is not where they are headed. I'm surprised that the show seems to be leaving Chad womanless. The knowledge of Molly Burnett leaving has existed for awhile now, one would think they would've been lining up a new love interest for Chad during that time.

Again, Tomlin proves he doesn't understand why characters fail; Cameron isn't failing because he isn't hot enough, he is failing because he is one note and boring as shit. Didn't we do the same thing with Arianna and Taylor? Yes, I think we did and the reception for those characters did not change. Edited by mer4santo, Oct 2 2012, 12:25 PM.

I definitely preferred Natalia as Taylor #2 as I felt the original integrity of Taylor #1 was kept in tact, however I loved Lindsay Hartley as Arianna, from the moment the character was announced I hoped Hartley would eventually end up in the role. |

Haha, same. Felisha Terrell brought a rawness to Arianna that made her seem more genuine and then Lindsay Hartley came on and ruined that by being Lindsay Hartley (which isn't a bad thing, she just had a very set way of acting). And while Taylor was a horrible character in the first place, I believed Natalia's portrayal of the sweet and innocent sister who was simply deceived by this prince charming named EJ Dimera more than Tamara Braun's bitchiness that told us this clearly was not her first rodeo. I really don't think Cameron needed to be recast. He was a decent enough actor for what he was given to do. That being said, the character probably isn't important enough for most fans to care about this recast....so I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. |

IMO, I wish that they'd kept Hartley and paired Arianna with EJ (which is where I was convinced they were going at the time). IMO, Hartley/Scott has some AMAZING chemistry & I can only imagine the potential storyline fall out of Rafe's sister/Nicole's rival falling for EJ. |
