I liked original Taylor, but both recasts were terrible. I still don't know how Days failed to take advantage of TB. I actually liked FT-Arianna too and agree about the rawness she brought to the character. I don't think LH's portrayal fit the Arianna's backstory, but her Ari had potential, too. |

IMO, they need to stop letting actors dictate story directions. |

I think the rumors were JS wanted a fresh pairing just like AS got with Rafe, a character with no baggage to be paired with. While the Taylor story was a disaster, I can't say JS put much if any effort into it either. Which is kind of surprising considering he supposedly wanted it. He and Hartley did have chemistry but the foundation for a romance for them was truly organic, something that rarely happens on this show. |

Also, IMO, this is another case of this show not following the natural progression of a storyline in favor of forcing it to go in another direction that's far dramatically inferior to the more logical direction. See also: Victor/Maggie drama concerning Melissa & Sarah as opposed to EggBaby. |

I'm still mourning the loss of Lindsay - adore her. When Taylor showed up last go around, I found Natalia very annoying and almost looked forward to the re-cast with Tamara. But then Tamara showed up and I hated Taylor even more and wished they'd stuck with Natalia. So I think that was just one big character/storyline fail and it was probably became unsalvageable shortly after they unveiled it. I still chuckle at the thought that we were supposed to buy Tamara as younger-looking than Ari. Tamara cannot do young, idealistic roles like Saint Taylor (she who volunteered in orphanages and had a social conscience all while dating a pimp). What a spectacular misfire all around - oh, the memories. :laugh: |

Hmm strange that they are recasting Cameron when he is barely onscreen. Maybe they will finally give him a storyline of interest. Maybe they will reveal who his father is. |

Yeah, well, they wet their pants and decided to go back to the same ol same ol. Odd and pointless decision. |

I think he fails because he's not hot enough. I'm uncomfortable looking at his face, and REALLY glad they stopped writing for him. This new guy is a huge upgrade... Hopefully they'll put him onscreen sometimes... I super-miss Lindsay Hartley. Love her so much and loved her with EJ. |

I also read that Schuyler Yancy was off doing an episode of a prime time show and this guy is a temp replacement. SY will be returning before long. Probably with Celeste. |

It's too bad Cameron's dating a Horton. I've always wanted to see Days develop the idea they had for Tommy to have a son out there somewhere (in NY, I think?). Of course Cam would need to be the grandson, though. Nanasmiles, where did you read this? |

Why would they need a temp replacement of a character who's barely on anyways? Can you share where you read that, nanasmiles? |

Wait...what? A character with no baggage would be Nicole's sister vs. Arianna? Did he mean no prior romances on-air or something? I just...I don't even get how the writers would follow his suggestion and get to Taylor. Arianna and Sami could have been amazing rivals. |

Yes... It would have been perfect! LH's Arianna was really great. You could feel a bit of Theresa in her which was a great character IMHO. They could have butted heads fantastically. I still hope they can bring her back from the dead. It's not like LH is doing anything. Plus they need more ladies on the show. |

I didn't like the actor playing Cameron but to be fair he didn't have much material to work with. His backstory is blah and now they went and made him a jerk dumping Abby of all times. Now if they went with him as a jerk, that might be interesting. |

I wrote that SY may just be a temp recast while he does a stint on a primetime show. But I think that his name was mixed up with DaJuan Johnson's, who is doing a guest stint on Bones. I don't know who mixed the names up in the first place, but I did repeat it erroneously. Maybe. :) We'll see. And I don't give my sources. |

Then don't bother repeating their info here. I couldn't stand Arianna. I was okay with her at first but they dragged their feet so long in giving her something to do, that I was over her by the time they did. |

I really liked Schuyler Yancy.I thought he made the character believable not just eye candy. |
