Kassie DePaiva!!...this show just got THAT MUCH better...wow....DREAM casting right there.

She is one of the top actresses in daytime...she ruled OLTL for years.

As much as I love the old characters, the newer ones (not Daniel), are getting better.

I absolutely LOVE Theresa, LOVE JJ, love JJ's friends...like Jordan and Sheryl...verdict is WAY WAY out on Liam & Aiden.

Outside of recast Eric...who lets face it, was the best thing to happen to DAYS in YEARS...who else is really new? Even recast Will is an improvement so far.
IDK about everyone else, but when I was talking about new people, I was thinking about the characters who've come to town over the past few years, not just the current newbies. Not every character can be special and click like the main 80s newbies did and Days does fine making inoffensive likable types that people enjoy while they're on, but lately Days seems to struggle with creating characters that people would miss five or ten years from now.

I agree. They especially struggle with the "good" characters. With a JJ or Theresa, they were able to create personas right away and I think the fact that they are semi-villains has helped in this regard. Or maybe JL and CMo were just good at making their characters feel unique. Eric is the only new "good" character that I see having a distinct persona. Other than those three, I haven't seen any interesting or unique personality traits out of any of the other characters that have been added in the last few years. I feel like I just don't know them at all, other than the family connections they have.

Michael Logan saying more news is coming too about DAYS....can you imagine if we got KDP and ED news in the same week :)

I know that is not going to happen, but I can dream!
Did he say the news is about 'Days'?

Great dreams, BTW.

I still don't think KDP is needed, though...
Anyone who can separate Daniel from Nicole and Jennifer is clearly needed.
Nothing against SC but I'm so tired of Daniel that right now I'm not interested in any of his pairings, even if it's KDP playing his love interest (OK, I might change my mind later). I don't think they have to waste such an actress just to separate Daniffer or Danicole. I'd rather see her with EM (Thrady is really quite annoying now, IMO), BD or JS or JM, for that matter. BTW they could do some onscreen chemistry testing with several characters/actors, it always helps and is more interesting than to bring someone for someone and see if it's working.
There is something I like about Theresa and Brady.When Theresa starts her innocent act,Brady sees right through it and calls her on it and she does the same to him.I liked their exchange in AA when he called her a bitch then she made a crack about Kristin drugging Eric then called him a bastard and said bite me.I liked their exchange in the park where he told her she was a phony and stupid then she told him he was drinking again,not to kid a kidder.In the Wednesday show Theresa was just about to leave but sat down immediately when she saw drunk Brady.I am looking forward to seeing what happens with them today.

IMO, Salem is starting to look unrecognizable with all these new characters crowding out familiar favorites. And I don't think that's a good thing at all.
The early 80s were filled with a lot of new characters, as it was the introduction of the Brady family. There are actually quite a few characters that are the children of adults we know & love (Sonny, Theresa, Will, Abby, JJ). There really aren't that many new adults. And of the new adult faces, only Jordan & Aiden are actually on contract. Cheryl & Liam aren't.
The difference being Doug Marland's 7th principle.

My pet peeve is when a new character is introduced, tests well with the audience and network, is on contract for a year or more, and then they decide to make that character some long lost relative or egg baby. Think of how many characters started out on this show with no blood ties to anyone and are now related to practically everyone. We could add that to the list that someone started awhile back called Soap Opera Problems. Does every older female character have to get pregnant as teen, give the baby up for adoption, and be reunited with them many years later after first having a contentious relationship with said long lost child?
You're right.Chad was a non entity then all of a sudden we had his judge mother having been a hooker with Kate and Kate finding out Stefano was his father.It just seemed like contrived BS to make Chad the son of Stefano.Maybe thats why I was less than enthusiastic about the character.It was a bunch of nonsense.

That story screwed up Kate's timeline. She sold her body to make money to feed Lucas, who had to be an adult and a year away from fathering a child of his own at the time she and Madeline were working for Stefano.

Even moreso, it made not a damn bit of sense because it meant that it was going on years AFTER Kate was in Salem, had been with Victor, schemed against Sami, fought with Vivian, and had Philip (via switched eggs). Made not a damn bit of sense. lol

That sketch looks like a bald male Crystal Chappell, especially if you cover from the eyebrows up.

Michael Logan did not say more Days news is coming. He said more "SudsNews". As always, please post tweets if you're going to mention them. We just keep plugging away at this, lol! Thanks.

The tweet you are reffering to was included in Ari's (re)tweet, I posted. I thought, maybe there is some other information from Logan where he says that the news coming is about 'Days'. That's why I asked :) the poster.
